Cruise Control Switches
Warning: Do not use the cruise control system when driving conditions do not permit maintaining a constant speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or roads with a loose driving surface. Failure to follow this precaution could cause a collision or loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Notice: When the cruise control is engaged, do not attempt to shift gears without using the clutch pedal. Failure to follow this precaution will result in a temporarily uncontrolled increase in engine speed. Transmission damage and gear stripping could result.
Cruise control is activated by two dash-mounted switches: an On/Off switch and a Set/Decelerate/Resume/Accelerate switch. See Fig..

To decrease cruise speed, press and hold the lower half of the Set/Resume/Accelerate/Decelerate switch to decelerate slowly. Release the switch when the desired speed is achieved.
To increase cruise speed, press and hold the upper half of the Set/Resume/Accelerate/Decelerate switch to accelerate slowly. Release the switch when the desired speed is achieved.

Depress the brake pedal (automatic or manual transmissions)
or
Depress the clutch pedal (manual transmissions only).
-
Press the lower half of the On/Off switch.
Note: To resume the preselected cruise speed, increase vehicle speed to above minimum cruise control speed and momentarily press the upper half of the Set/Resume/Accelerate/Decelerate switch. Cruise will return to the last speed selected.
