STARTING AND DRIVING

(f) Resetting to a slower speed
Push the lever down in the “− SET” direction and hold it. The
displayed speed will decrease in increments of 5 mph (for
U.S.A.) or 5 km/h (for Canada). Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. The vehicle speed will gradually
decrease to the displayed speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to depress the brake pedal
and then push the lever down in the “− SET” direction.
If the control lever is released when the vehicle speed exceeds
the upper limit of the preset speed traveling downhill while you
are pushing the lever down, the system will memorize the
upper limit of the preset speed as a preset speed.
With automatic transmission (standard type) —
Even if you downshift the transmission from “D” to “4” in the
vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode, engine braking will
not be enabled because this mode is not cancelled. To
decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the
cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the
brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled.
With automatic transmission (multi−mode type) —
Even if you downshift the transmission from “D” or “5” (fifth
range) to the “4” (fourth range) in the vehicle−to−vehicle
distance control mode, engine braking will not be enabled
because this mode is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle
speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or
depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise
control is cancelled.
(g) Resuming the preset speed
If the preset speed has been cancelled, when you push the
lever up in the “+ RES” direction while the “READY” indicator
in the instrument cluster comes on at a vehicle speed of more
than 40 km/h (25 mph), the speed set prior to cancellation will
be restored.
During follow−up cruising, if there are no vehicles ahead
because they have changed lanes, your vehicle will accelerate
gradually up to the preset speed. At this time, pushing the lever
up in the “+ RES” direction will quickly speed up your vehicle
in vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode.
