On Sport model and Canadian LX model
Cruise control allows you to maintain
a set speed above 25 mph (40 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the
accelerator pedal. It should be used
for cruising on straight, open
highways. It is not recommended for
city driving, winding roads, slippery
roads, heavy rain, or bad weather.
Improper use of the cruise
control can lead to a crash.
Use the cruise control only
when traveling on open
highways in good weather.Using the Cruise Control
1. Press the CRUISE button on the
steering wheel. The CRUISE
MAIN indicator on the instrument
panel comes on.
NOTE: The main switch can be left
on, even when the system is not inuse.
2. Accelerate to the desired cruising speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). 3. Press the SET/DECEL button on
the steering wheel. The CRUISE
CONTROL indicator on the
instrument panel comes on to
show the system is now activated.
Cruise control may not hold the set
speed when you are going up and
down hills. If your speed increases
going down a hill, use the brakes to
slow down. This will cancel cruise
control. To resume the set speed,
press the RES/ACCEL button. The
indicator on the instrument panel will
come back on.
When climbing a steep hill, the
automatic transmission may
downshift to hold the set speed.
