Cruise Control (Option)
P04:
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can\
really help on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below about\

25 mph
(40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.

'"
PO431
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and th\
en you apply
the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you don't need
to reset it. Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the Cruise switch from
ON to WA (ResumelAccelerate) for about half a
second.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. \
X If you hold the switch at WA (Resume/Accelerate) longer than half a '
, second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release t\
he switch I or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control 90
unless you want to go faster, don't hold the switch at WA
(ResumelAccelerate).

To lncrease Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to
go to a higher speed:
1. Move the Cruise switch from ON to WA (ResumelAccelerate). Hold it
there until you get up
to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.
2. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to
RIA (Resume/Accelerate) for less than half a second and then release
it. Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.

J PO398
1. Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
2. To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less tha\
n half
a second.
Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 kmlh) slower.
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.

To replace your wiper blade inserts, pinch the two tabs on the wiper arm and
slide the insert out of the blade. When you slide the new one into place, be
sure the tabs are locked in position.
Air Conditioning
Every now and then have your dealership check your air conditi\
oning system
to be sure it has not lost any cooling ability.
If you think the system is not
working properly, have your dealership check it out as soon as\
possible.
The air conditioning will not work when the temperature is bel\
ow
40°F (4°C).
Lubrication
Accelerator Control System
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often the accelerator
linkage pivot points must be lubricated and what type
of lubricant to use.
Accelerator cables and cruise control cables should not be lubr\
icated. Any
cables that are worn
or are hard to pull should be replaced.
When cleaning the engine compartment with water or steam, avoid\
directing
the flow onto the throttle linkage in a manner that would cause moisture to
enter the cables.
