The Cruise Control system allows you to
drive at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h)
without depressing the accelerator pedal.

• During normal cruise control operation,when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
• Before activating the cruise control function, the system will check to verify
that the brake switch is operating nor-
mally. Depress the brake pedal at least
once after turning ON the ignition or
starting the engine.

Take the following precautions:
If the Cruise Control is left on,
("CRUISE" indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illuminated)
the Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally. Keep the
