Cruise control
TEL075A
If your vehicle has cruise control, you
can maintain a speed of about 40
km/h (25 mph) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator.
This can really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at
speeds below about 40 km/h (25
mph).
When you apply your brakes or press
the Q button, the cruise control shuts
off.
If your vehicle is in cruise control
when the optional traction control
system begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically
disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you
may turn the cruise control back on.
Seting cruise control
1. Press the I button, located on
the right side of the steering
wheel, to turn cruise control on.
2. Accelerate to the speed you
want.
3. Press the SET/- button and
release it. An indicator light on
the instrument panel cluster will
come on to show you that the
cruise control is on.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Caution
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you can’t drive safely at a
steady speed. So, don’t use your
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tyre traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Don’t use
cruise control on slippery roads.
Caution
If you leave your cruise control on
when you’re not using cruise, you
might hit a button and go into
cruise when you donít want to. You
could be startled and even lose
control. Keep the cruise control
switch off until you want to use
cruise control.
