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 cancel switch is pushed
• When the brake pedal is depressed
• When the exhaust brake is activated
• When the clutch pedal is depressed
<Manual transmission vehicles>
• When the gearshift lever is placed in the neutral
position <Manual transmission vehicles>
• When the range selector lever is placed in the
“N” position <Automatic transmission vehicles>
CAUTION
In an automatic transmission vehicle, placing
the range selector lever in the “N” position tem-
porarily deactivates the cruise control. How-
ever, such practice is dangerous during driving
because engine braking will no longer be possi-
ble. It will also cause malfunction of the auto-
matic transmission.
6 To reactivate the temporarily deacti-
vated cruise control
•
To reactivate the cruise control, turn the “SET/
RESUME” switch to the “RESUME” position.
The indicator lamp will illuminate again and
the vehicle will resume running at the set speed.
• To reactivate the cruise control with a different
speed specified, turn the “SET/RESUME” switch
to the “SET” position when the vehicle reaches
your desired speed. The indicator lamp will
light up, and the vehicle will continue 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).
• The 3rd or lower speed gear is selected.
