Cruise Control Switch

s2 dm 04.06.000

Warning: Do not use the cruise control system when driving conditions do not permit maintaining a constant speed, such as 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: If equipped with a manual transmission, do not attempt to shift gears without using the clutch pedal when the cruise control is engaged. Failure to follow this precaution will result in a temporarily uncontrolled increase in engine speed; transmission damage and gear stripping could result.

Note: Maximum cruise control speed varies according to vehicle specifications, but cannot be higher than 75 mph (121 km/h).

Note: To turn the cruise control on, press the upper half of the On/Off (rocker) switch. To turn cruise control off, press the lower half of the On/Off (rocker) switch.
