Tapping the SET DECEL button once will result in a
1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is
tapped, speed decreases.

Manual Transaxle

Pressing the clutch pedal will disengage the speed con-
trol. A slight increase in engine RPM before the Electronic
Speed Control disengages is normal.

Vehicles equipped with manual transaxles may need to
be shifted into a lower gear to climb hills without speed
loss.

WARNING!

Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you
could lose control. An accident could be the result.
Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or
slippery.

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

NOTE:

The Electronic Speed Control system maintains

speed, up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
