Auto–speed (cruise) control*EI10AAM
Auto–speed control is an automatic speed
control system to maintain a desired driving
speed of about 40 km/h or more without op-
erating the accelerator pedal.
This feature is especially useful for high way
driving. Auto–speed control does not work at
speeds below about 40 km/h.
A- Main switch
B-Auto–speed control lever
I10A122a
To activate
1. Push the main switch (A) at the end of
the auto–speed control lever.
2. Pull down the lever (B) while driving at
the desired speed.
I10A046a
When the main switch (A) is ON, the
“CRUISE” indication lamp located in the in-
strument panel will illuminate.
CAUTION
(1) As a safety precaution, the main
switch (A) should be set to “OFF”
position except when using the
auto–speed control system.
(2) The use of the auto–speed con-
trol is not recommended when
driving conditions do not permit
maintaining a constant speed,
such as heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow–cov-
ered, wet, slippery or a steep
downhill grade.
