Driving and Operating

SET/

(Set/Coast):

Move the

thumbwheel down to set a speed
and activate cruise control or to
make the vehicle decelerate.

Setting Cruise Control

If the cruise button is on when not in
use, it could get bumped and go into
cruise when not desired. Keep the
cruise control button off when cruise
is not being used.

To set a speed:

1. Press

1

to turn cruise

control on.

2. Get up to the speed desired.

3. Move the thumbwheel down

toward SET/

and release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator

pedal.

When the brakes are applied, the
cruise control shuts off.

Resuming a Set Speed

If the cruise control is set at a
desired speed and then the brakes
are applied, the cruise control is
disengaged without erasing the set
speed from memory. Once the
vehicle speed is about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or greater, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+
briefly and then release it. The
vehicle returns to the previously set
speed and stays there.

Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is
already activated:

.

Move the thumbwheel up toward
RES/+ and hold it until the
vehicle accelerates to the
desired speed, then release it.

To increase the speed in small
amounts, move the thumbwheel
up toward RES/+ briefly and
then release it. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about
1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster.

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

If the cruise control system is
already activated:

.

Move the thumbwheel toward
SET/

and hold until the desired

lower speed is reached, then
release it.

.

To slow down in very small
amounts, move the thumbwheel
toward SET/

briefly. Each time

this is done, the vehicle goes
about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.

Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control

Use the accelerator pedal to
increase vehicle speed. When you
take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previously set cruise control speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control works
on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
