5-36 Switches and controls
Cruise control memorizes any desired speed above
the speed indicated below and, maintains that
speed automatically without having to operate the
accelerator pedal. This is especially useful for free-
way driving when there is little chance of having to
pull over and stop.
NOTE:
For the sake of safety, do not use the cruise control
in the following driving conditions:
• In heavy traffic which does not allow sufficient
vehicle to vehicle distance
• On roads with sharp turns or poor visibility
• On icy, snow-covered, or otherwise slippery
roads
• Steep downhill road
The vehicle speed may become higher than the set
speed on a steep downhill road. Stop using the
cruise control if this occurs.
