[SC11000( ALL)08/95]
If you drive up or down a steep hill, your
vehicle may momentarily slow down or speed
up, even though the speed control is on. This is
normal.
*
[SC11030( ALL)03/95]
NOTE: If your speed increases above your set
speed while driving in D (Drive) on a
downhill grade, you may want to
depress the Transmission Control
Switch located on the shift lever to
turn off overdrive to reduce vehicle
speed. Speed control cannot reduce the
vehicle speed if it goes above your set
speed on a downhill grade.
[SC11045(M )03/95]
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a 5
speed manual transmission, and if your
speed increases above your set speed
while driving in 5 (Fifth) gear on a
downhill grade, you may want to shift
to 4 (Fourth) gear to reduce vehicle
speed. Depressing the clutch pedal
cancels speed control, therefore speed
control must be reset by pressing the
SET/ACCEL or RESUME buttons.
Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle
speed if it goes above your set speed
on a downhill grade.
*
[SC11100( ALL)08/95]
RWARNING
Do not use the speed control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding,
slippery, or unpaved.
