STARTING AND DRIVING
5–37
CAUTION
(3) In the case of vehicles with a man-
ual transmission, if while driving
at the set speed, the shift lever is
set to the “N” (Neutral) position
without depressing the clutch
pedal, the engine speed will in-
crease excessively, and the en-
gine may be damaged.
NOTE
(1) When the ignition switch is switched
OFF, the main switch will also automati-
cally switch off. If you wish to maintain a
constant speed while driving, be sure
the main switch has been switched ON
again.
(2) Note that the set vehicle speed may not
be maintained on uphill or downhill
slopes.
(3) The vehicle speed may drop to less
than the set speed on a steep uphill
grade, so the accelerator must be used
if you want to maintain that speed.
(4) The vehicle speed may increase to
more than the set speed on a steep
downhill grade. When the vehicle speed
increases excessively, deactivate the
auto–speed control. (Refer to ”To
deactivate” on page 5–37.)

To increase the set speed
There are 2 ways to increase the set speed.
Auto–speed control lever
Pull up the auto–speed control lever. And
hold it until you reach the higer speed you
want. Release the lever when the desired
speed is reached.
To increase your speed in small amounts,
just pull up the auto–speed control lever for
less than 0.5 second and release it. Each
time you operate the lever, your vehicle will
go about 2.0 km/h faster.

Accelerator
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the ve-
hicle’s speed and, when the desired speed
is reached, pull down the auto–speed control
lever.
