Cruise control
The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal lever.
To engage and set the desired speed:
1. Set switch (B) to ON.
2. Accelerate to the desired cruise speed.
3. Press the + or - area of the SET button (A) to set the desired speed.
NOTE: The cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 22 mph (35 km).
Braking
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. The previously selected cruise speed is retained in
the memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position, that speed will be re-engaged.
If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased or decreased by depressing
the SET button (A) towards either + or -. One short press on the button corresponds to a speed change of
approx. 1 mph (1.6 km/h). When the button is released, the vehicle will maintain the current speed.
If actual speed falls below 70% of the set speed or if the wheels spin or lock, the cruise control will
disengage automatically.
NOTE: (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
When driving up steep hills with the cruise control engaged, the transmission may shift intermittently.
