Control speed by pushing the “SET CRUISE” button.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control

speed you want, then release it.
2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second.

Passing Another Vehicle while Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your
foot off the pedal, your vehicle
will slow down to the Cruise Control
speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your
speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep hills, you
may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When
going downhill, you
may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep
your speed down.
Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise
Control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use
Cruise Control
on steep hills.

I
The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
all the way in the other direction,
so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from
only a few seconds to 90 seconds.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog
lamps, side marker lamps and tail lamps) meet all applicable Federal
lighting requirements, certain States and Provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lamps. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you
operate your lower beam lamps with fog lamps at all times, or that
headlamps be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers.
In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps,
especially at dawn or dusk.
It is recommended that you check with your
own State or Provincial highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

Automatic Inside Rearview Mirror
During the daylight it's like the standard mirror. But at night the system
goes to work.
During the day the mirror reflects
all the light from behind your car. At
night, when the glare
is too high, it darkens to reflect only part of the light
behind you. When
the mirror darkens, it holds that position until the
glare
is no longer present.

Your automatic rearview mirror has different positions for light
sensitivity. At the
"MAX" setting, bright headlights far away will cause
the mirror to gradually darken. This is a good setting for rural driving. At
the
"MIN' setting, bright headlights have to be rather close for the
mirror to darken. This is a good setting for city driving.
