Cruise Control operation
1. CRUISE indicator
2. Set speed
The Cruise Control system allows you
to drive at speeds above 30 km/h
without depressing the accelerator
pedal.
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transmission vehicle, do
not shift into neutral without
depressing the clutch pedal, since
the engine will be overrevved. If
this happens, depress the clutch
pedal or press the cruise control
ON / OFF button.
