CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging the
cruise control, keep the “ON−OFF”
button off when not using the cruise
control.
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in the “D” posi-
tion or the shift range position must be “4”
(fourth range) or “5” (fifth range) in “S”
mode before you set the cruise control
speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the “− SET” direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed. If the speed is not satisfac-
tory, tap the lever up for a faster speed,
or tap it down for a slower speed. Each
tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h
(1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL”
direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
c. Pressing the “ON−OFF” button.
If cancelled by c., the “CRUISE” indicator
light goes off in the instrument panel. In
this case, the present speed data is
cleared, and you must set the speed from
the beginning.
In the following cases, the preset speed
automatically cancels out:
a. When vehicle speed falls below about
40 km/h (25 mph).
b. When vehicle stability control is acti-
vated.
c. When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed.
