When Driving

Cruise Control

 Cruise Main Indication (White)/

Cruise Set Indication (Green)

The indication has two colors.

Cruise Main Indication (White)

The indication turns on (white) when the 

cruise control system is activated.

Cruise Set Indication (Green)

The indication turns on (green) when a 

cruising speed has been set.

 Activation/Deactivation

To activate the system, press the ON 

switch. The cruise main indication (white) 

turns on.

To deactivate the system, press the OFF/

CANCEL switch.

The cruise main indication (white) 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 indication (white) turns on.

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/

 switch at the desired speed. The 

cruise control is set at the moment the 

SET/  switch is pressed. Release the 

accelerator pedal simultaneously. The 

cruise set indication (green) turns on.

NOTE



  The cruise control speed setting cannot 

be performed under the following 

conditions:



  The selector lever is in the P or N 

position.



  The parking brake is applied.



  Release the SET/  switch at the desired 

speed, otherwise the speed will continue 

decreasing while the SET/  switch is 

pressed and held (except when the 

accelerator pedal is depressed).



  On a steep grade, the vehicle may 

momentarily slow down while ascending 

or speed up while descending.
