Rear fog light only (certain models)

On models equipped with a rear foglight only, the switch has no indicator lamp. The rear foglight is considerably brighter than the normal tail lights and should be used only when the atmospheric conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce the daytime or nighttime visibility of other vehicles to less than 500 ft (150 meters). The lowbeam headlights must be switched on. Note that the local regulations governing the use of these lights may vary.

Front and rear foglights (certain models)

The switch has two settings:
1 Front foglights ON.
2 Front and rear foglights ON.
When both front and rear foglights are turned on both indicators will light.
The rear foglight is considerably brighter than the normal tail light and should be used only when the atmospheric conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce the daytime or nighttime visibility of other vehicles to less than 500 ft (150 meters).
The lowbeam headlights must be switched on. Note that local regulations governing the use of these lights may vary.

Cruise control

The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal switch lever.
To engage and set desired speed:
· Set switch (1) to ON.
· Accelerate to desired cruise speed.
· Depress SET SPEED switch (2).

NOTE: The cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 22 mph (35 km).

Operating brake pedal
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise control speed is retained in the memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position, that speed will be re-engaged.

Acceleration

If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased or decreased by depressing the SET SPEED button (2). The vehicle will then maintain the current speed.
Depressing the SET SPEED button briefly will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) increase in the set speed.
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously selected speed will be maintained without having to set switch to RESUME.

NOTE: When driving on a grade, actual vehicle speed may vary slightly from the set cruise control speed. If actual speed falls below 70% of set speed or if the wheels spin, the cruise control will disengage automatically.

To disengage the cruise control system : set switch (1) to position OFF, or depress the brake pedal. Switching off the starting (ignition) switch or moving the gear selector to position N will automatically disengage the cruise control system.

WARNING! The cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slippery roads. Do not use or resume cruise control in reverse gear.

When the ignition is switched off, any information stored in the cruise control memory will be erased.
