To Set Speed; To Increase Cruising Speed; When Driving- Page 275

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) is displayed.

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 (white) is
displayed and the cruise set indicator
light (green) turns on.

NOTE



The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:



(Automatic transaxle)

The selector lever is in the P or N
position.



(Manual transaxle)

The shift lever is in the neutral
position.



The parking brake is applied.



Release the SET  or RES/  switch at
the desired speed, otherwise the speed
will continue increasing while the RES/

 switch is pressed and held, and

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.



The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when climbing a steep grade.



The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.
