temperature is high, the engine oil
pressure is low or the fuel gauge is
at or near empty. Refer toEngine
coolant temperature gauge, Engine oil pressure gaugeorFuel gauge
in this chapter for more information.
Brake system warning

To turn speed control off
²Press OFF.
NOTE:Once speed control is
turned off or the ignition is switched
off, the previously programmed set
speed will be erased.
To set a speed
²Press SET ACC.
NOTE:For speed control to
operate, the speed control must be
ON and the vehicle speed must be
greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).
If you drive up or down a steep hill, your vehicle speed may vary
momentarily slower or faster than the set speed. This is normal.
Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it increases above the
set speed on a downhill. If your vehicle speed is faster than the set
speed while driving on a downhill, you may want to shift to the next
lower gear or apply the brakes to reduce your vehicle speed.
If your vehicle slows down more than 16 km/h (10 mph) below your set
speed on an uphill, your speed control will disengage. This is normal.
Pressing RSM will re-engage it.
WARNING: Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, slippery, mountainous, hilly, or unpaved.
This may cause an accident.
