Activation/Deactivation

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.

Activation

To activate the system, press the cruise
switch. The cruise standby indication
(white) turns on.

Deactivation

To deactivate the system, press the cruise
switch again.
The cruise standby indication (white) turns
off.

If the RES switch is operated up (SET+)
or down (SET-) while the vehicle speed
