When Driving

Cruise Control

 Cruise Main Indicator Light 

(Amber)/Cruise Set Indicator 
Light (Green)

  The indicator light has two colors.

  Cruise Main Indicator Light (Amber)

    The  indicator  light  illuminates  amber 
when the cruise control system is 
activated.

  Cruise Set Indicator Light (Green)

    The indicator light illuminates green when 
a cruising speed has been set.

 Activation/Deactivation

    To activate the system, press the ON 
switch. The cruise main indicator light 
(Amber) illuminates.
  To deactivate the system, press the OFF 
switch.
  The cruise main indicator light (Amber) 
turns off.

WARNING

  Always  turn  off  the cruise control system 
when it is not in use:

  Leaving the cruise control system in an 
activation-ready state while the cruise 
control is not in use is dangerous as 
the cruise control could unexpectedly 
activate if the activation button is 
accidentally pressed, and result in loss 
of vehicle control and an accident.

   NOTE

  When the ignition is switched OFF, the 
system status before it was turned off is 
maintained. For example, if the ignition 
is switched OFF with the cruise control 
system operable, the system will be 
operable when the ignition is switched ON 
the next time.

 To Set Speed

     1.   Activate  the  cruise  control  system 

by pressing the ON switch. The 
cruise main indicator light (Amber) 
illuminates.

   2.   Accelerate to the desired speed, which 

must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).

   3.   Set the cruise control by pressing the 

SET   or SET   switch at the desired 
speed. The cruise control is set at the 
moment the SET   or SET   switch is 
pressed. Release the accelerator pedal 
simultaneously. The cruise set indicator 
light (Green) illuminates.
