 Cruise Control Function

            While  this  function  is  operating,  the 
headway control operation is canceled and 
only the cruise control function operates.
  The vehicle speed can be set more than 
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
  Use the cruise control function on 
expressways and other highways which do 
not require a lot of repeated acceleration 
and deceleration.

WARNING

  Do not use the cruise control function in 
the following locations:

  Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.

¾

  Roads with sharp curves and where 

vehicle traffi

  c is heavy and there is 

insuffi

  cient space between vehicles. 

(Driving under these conditions 
using the cruise control function is 
not possible)

¾

  Steep down slopes (Set speed may 

be exceeded because suffi

  cient 

engine braking cannot be applied)

¾

  Slippery roads such as ice or snow-

bound roads (Tires could spin 
causing you to lose vehicle control)

  Always  drive  carefully:

  The warnings and brake control 
will not operate after the headway 
control function is canceled and the 
system is switched to only the cruise 
control function. Depress the brake 
pedal to decelerate according to the 
surrounding conditions while keeping 
a safer distance from the vehicle ahead 
and always driving carefully.
