To Set Speed

1. Activate the cruise control system.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which 

must be more than 40 km/h (25 mph).

3. Turn the control knob to SET/COAST 

and release it at the speed you want. 
Release the accelerator at the same 
time.

Don’t continue to hold the knob. Until 
you release it, speed will continue to 
drop (unless you continue to 
accelerate) and you’ll miss the desired 
speed.
