WARNING

Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:

When it is not possible to keep the

vehicle at a set speed.

In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in

speed.

On winding or hilly roads.
On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

CAUTION

On manual transmission models, do not
shift into N (Neutral) without depressing
the clutch pedal when the cruise control is
set. Should this occur, depress the clutch
pedal and turn the main switch off imme-
diately. Failure to do so may cause engine
damage.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 MPH (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.

To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON·OFF switch. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument panel comes on.

To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch
and release it. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument panel comes on. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. Your vehicle maintains the set
speed.

To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-

celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.

● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed

when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.

To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods.

● Push the CANCEL button; the CRUISE in-

dicator light in the instrument panel goes
out.

● Tap the brake pedal; the CRUISE indicator

light goes out.

● Push the ON·OFF switch. The CRUISE indi-

cator light in the instrument panel goes out.

The cruise control is automatically canceled and
the CRUISE light in the instrument panel goes
out if:

● you depress the brake or clutch pedal while

pushing the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST
switch. The preset speed is deleted from
memory.

● the vehicle slows down more than 8 MPH

(13 km/h) below the set speed.

● you depress the clutch pedal (manual trans-

mission), or move the shift lever to N (Neu-
tral) (CVT).

To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods.

● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.

● Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch.

When the vehicle attains the speed you de-
sire, release the switch.

● Push and release the ACCEL/RES switch.

Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
