speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
happens, drive without the cruise con-
trol.
To cancel the preset speed, follow any of
these methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch.
2. Tap the brake pedal.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off.
After any of the above operation is
performed, the color of the cruise indicator
will change from green to white.
. If you depress the brake pedal while
pushing the RESUME/ACCELERATE (+)
or SET/COAST (-) switch and reset at the
cruising speed, the cruise control will
disengage. Turn the MAIN switch off
once and then turn it on again. .
The cruise control will automatically
cancel if the vehicle slows more than
8 MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed.
. If you move the shift lever to N (Neutral)
position, the cruise control will be
canceled.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET/COAST (-)
switch.
. Push and hold the RESUME/ACCELER-
ATE (+) switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the
switch.
. Push, then quickly release the RESUME/
ACCELERATE (+) switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
