and was standard on the new inter-
national size
1976 Seville. In 1978,
the Trip Computer option incor-

styling for nearly two decades. This
was followed
by the 1949 model with
the two door hardtop Coupe DeVille
and the modern overhead valve,

Engineering innovations, con-
veniences and styling dominated the
'50s and '60s. Cruise control, auto-
matic climate control,

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
(40 kmih).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
-- on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. (See
“Traction Control System”
in the Index.) When road conditions allow you
to safely use it again,
you may turn the cruise control back on.

Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply . .
the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control, however, you don’t
need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you __
can move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
To Increase 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:
0 Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you get up
to the speed you want, and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
faster.
The accelerate feature
will only work after you have set the cruise control
speed by pushing the SET
CRUISE button.
To Reduce Speed while Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll
go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another khicle mile 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
c-
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
1. Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR
2. Move the CRUISE switch to OFF. (The CRUISE light will go out.)
To Erase Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control
set speed memory is erased.

For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be -
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has been
off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check
your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine Oil”
in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in your maintenance schedule booklet. After an
oil
change the Oil Life Index must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the
Index on how to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248” F (126O C). To avoid added strain on a hot engine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle
until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off your
engine and have
it serviced before driving it again. Severe engine damage
can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the
Index.

Traction Control System
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is
especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that one
or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power (by shutting
off fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION ACTIVE message will display on the Drivef
Information Center when the traction control system is limiting wheel
spin. See “Driver Information Center Messages” in the Index. You may
feel the system working,
or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
If your vehicle
is in cruise control when the traction control system begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise control
will automatically disengage. When
road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the
cruise control. (See “Cruise Control” in the Index.)
The TRACTION DISABLED message will display on the Driver
Information Center to let you know if there’s a problem with your traction
control system. See “Driver Information Center Messages” in the Index.
When this message is displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you
can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can
help you more than even the very best braking.
