However, once the vehicle- to- vehicle dis-
tance control mode activates and is used,
it cannot be changed to the conventional
cruise control mode using the above op-

and then press it again to turn it on. Next

To change to the vehicle- to- vehicle dis-
tance control mode from the conventional

“MODE” direction for longer than about 1
second.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise
control, keep the “ON- OFF” button
off when not using dynamic laser
cruise control.
SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in the “D” posi-
tion, “5” (fifth range) or “4” (fourth range)
in sequential mode before you set the
cruise control speed in the conventional
cruise control mode.
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 and the display shows the
preset speed. You can now take your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
If you need to accelerate—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the preset speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to
the speed set prior to acceleration.
You cannot set a desired speed if the
master warning light comes on, the alarm
sounds and the display indicates the
warning code “E3”. If this code appears
on the display, see
“VEHICLE- TO- VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING” on
page 183.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by doing
any of the following:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL”
direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
c. Pressing the “ON- OFF” button.
