5-26 Switches and controls
5 Automatic deactivation of the cruise
control
The cruise control is deactivated automatically and
the indicator lamp also goes out in the following
conditions:
• When the brake pedal is depressed
• When the exhaust brake is activated
• When the selector lever is placed in the “N”
position
CAUTION
Placing the range selector lever in the “N” posi-
tion temporarily deactivates the cruise control.
However, such practice is dangerous during
driving because engine braking will no longer
be possible. It will also cause malfunction of the
automatic transmission.
6 To reactivate the temporarily deacti-
vated cruise control
•
To reactivate the cruise control, press the
“RESUME” side of the SET/RESUME switch.
The indicator lamp will illuminate again and
the vehicle will resume running at the set speed.
• To reactivate the cruise control while altering the
set speed to a new speed, press the “SET” side
of the SET/RESUME switch when the vehicle
has reached the desired speed. The indica-
tor lamp will light up, and the vehicle will con-
tinue running at the set speed.
NOTE:
Under any of the following conditions, you cannot
resume the set speed by performing the above
operation. In these situations, perform the speed
setting procedure from the beginning.
• The vehicle speed is lower than 30 km/h (18
mph).
