To Decrease Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can de-

crease speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
The speed decrement shown is dependant on the speed

of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)

• Pressing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph

decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the

button results in a decrease of 1 mph.

• If the button is continually pressed, the set speed will

continue to decrease until the button is released, then

the new set speed will be established.

Metric Speed (km/h)

• Pressing the SET (-) button once will result in a 2 km/h

decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the

button results in a decrease of 2 km/h.

• If the button is continually pressed, the set speed will

continue to decrease until the button is released, then

the new set speed will be established.

To Accelerate For Passing

Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the

pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the

vehicle set speed.
NOTE:

The Electronic Speed Control system maintains

speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on

moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so

it may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed

Control.
