Cruise control is an automatic speed control
system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-
vated at approximately 30 km/h or more.
Used to turn on and off the cruise control.
Used to reduce the set speed and to set the
desired speed.
Used to increase the set speed and to return to
the original set speed.
Used to deactivate set-speed driving.
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the
Hybrid EV System.
Restart the Hybrid EV System and check
whether the display/indicator goes out. If
they go out, there is no abnormal condition.
If they do not go out or appear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle immedi-
ately, but we recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected.
When towing the vehicle with only the front
wheels raised off the ground, do not put the
operation mode of the power switch in ON.
Putting the operation mode of the power
switch in ON could cause the ASC to oper-
ate, resulting in an accident.
For details, refer to “Towing” on page 8-17.
Cruise control
When you do not wish to drive at a set speed,
turn off the cruise control for safety.
Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet,
slippery, on a steep downhill slope.
Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
Your speed may increase to more than set-
speed on a steep downhill. You have to use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
set-speed driving is deactivated.
