General
Location of Components, Cruise Control (Passenger Compartment - Cruise Control, Switch):
The cruise control selector switch is located on the turning indicator stalk. To activate cruise control vehicle speed must be above 35 km/h, the switch must be ON and the SET button must be pressed in.
When the system has been engaged vehicle speed can be adjusted up or down by pressing the + or - SET button. Every time the SET button is pressed the vehicle speed setting changes by 1.6 km/h (1 mph). If the control module is switched off (by pressing the brake/clutch pedals, the ON/OFF button or by moving the gear selector from D to N) that latest vehicle speed setting is stored in memory until the ignition is switched off. This vehicle speed can be restored by moving the ON/OFF button to the RESUME position.
Braking
Vehicle speed can always be reduced by braking. Cruise control is automatically disengaged. This also happens when the clutch is depressed.

Vehicle speed can also be increased by pressing the + button. The car will maintain the same speed it has when the button is released.
