& Parking tips
When parking your vehicle, always set the
parking brake firmly and put the select
lever in the “P ”(Park) position. Always set
the parking brake firmly when parking your
vehicle. Never rely on the transmission
alone to hold the vehicle.When parking on a hill, always turn the
steering wheel. When the vehicle is
headed up the hill, the front wheels should
be turned away from the curb.
When facing downhill, the front wheels
should be turned into the curb. Cruise control
Cruise control enables you to maintain a
constant vehicle speed without holding
your foot on the accelerator pedal and it is
operative when the vehicle speed is 25
mph (40 km/h) or more. Make sure the
main switch is turned
“OFF ”when the
cruise control is not in use to avoid
unintentionally setting the cruise control.
NOTE
If you move the cruise control lever or
press the main switch button while
turning the ignition switch “ON ”, the
cruise control function is deactivated
and the cruise control indicator light
flashes. To reactivate the cruise control
function, turn the ignition switch back
to the “Acc ”or “LOCK ”position, and
then turn it again to the “ON ”position.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control under
any of the following conditions.
These may cause loss of vehiclecontrol. . driving up or down a steep grade
. driving on slippery or winding
roads
. driving in heavy traffic

.towing a trailer
& To set cruise control
1. Push the main switch button.
The cruise control indicator light on the combination meter will illuminate.
2. Depress the accelerator pedal until the
vehicle reaches the desired speed.
3. Push the control lever downward in the “
SET/COAST ”direction and release it.
Then release the accelerator pedal.
At this time, the cruise control set indicator
light is illuminated on the combination
meter.
The vehicle will maintain the desired speed.
Vehicle speed can be temporarily in-
creased while driving with the cruise
control activated. Simply depress the
accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehi-
cle. When the accelerator pedal is re-
leased, the vehicle will return to and
maintain the previous cruising speed. & To temporarily cancel the
cruise control
There are three ways to cancel the cruise
control temporarily:
. Pull the control lever toward you. Starting and operating

Page 275 of 422
7-32Starting and operating
. Depress the brake pedal.
. Shift the select lever into the “N ”
position.
The cruise control set indicator light on the
combination meter turns off when the
cruise control is canceled.
To resume the cruise control after it has
been temporarily canceled and with vehi-
cle speed of approximately 20 mph (32
km/h) or more, push the control lever
upward in the “RES/ACC ”direction to
return to the original cruising speed auto-
matically.
The cruise control set indicator light on the
combination meter will automatically illu-
minate at this time.
& To turn off the cruise control
There are two ways to turn off the cruisecontrol: . Push the main switch again.
. Turn the ignition switch to the “Acc ”or
“ LOCK ”position (but only when the
vehicle is completely stopped). &
To change the cruising speed
! To increase the speed (by control lever)
Push the control lever upward in the “RES/
ACC ”direction and hold it until the vehicle
reaches the desired speed. Then, release
the control lever. The vehicle speed at that
moment will be memorized and treated as
the new set speed.
When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 4 mph (6.8 km/h), the set speed can
be increased 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time
by pressing the control lever upward in the“ RES/ACC ”direction quickly. !
To increase the speed (by accel-
erator pedal)
1. Depress the accelerator pedal to
accelerate the vehicle to the desiredspeed.
2. Push the control lever downward in the “ SET/COAST ”direction once. Now the
desired speed is set and the vehicle will
keep running at that speed without de-
pressing the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
If the difference between the actual
vehicle speed when the control lever
is pushed downward and the speed last
time you set is less than 4 mph (6.8
km/h), the vehicle speed will be low-
ered by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). This occurs
because the cruise control system unit
regards this lever operation as that
intended to decrease the vehiclespeed.
