Activation/Deactivation

 

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.

    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).

To Increase Cruising Speed

Follow either of these procedures.

To increase speed using cruise control switch

Press the RESUME/ switch and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the switch at the desired speed.

 

Press the RESUME/ switch and release it immediately to adjust the preset speed. Multiple operations will increase the preset speed according to the number of times it is operated.

Increasing speed with a single RESUME/ switch operation

Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)

Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)

To increase speed using accelerator pedal

Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate to the desired speed. Press the SET/ switch and release it immediately.

 

Accelerate if you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on. Greater speed will not interfere with or change the set speed. Take your foot off the accelerator to return to the set speed.

To Decrease Cruising Speed

Press the SET/ switch and hold it. The vehicle will gradually slow.

Release the switch at the desired speed.

 

Press the SET/ switch and release it immediately to adjust the preset speed. Multiple operations will decrease the preset speed according to the number of times it is operated.

Decreasing speed with a single SET/ switch operation

Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)

Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)

To Resume Cruising Speed at More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)

If the cruise control system temporarily cancelled (such as by applying the brake pedal) and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume when the RESUME/ switch is pressed.

If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16 mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25 km/h (16 mph) or more and press the RESUME/ switch.

To Temporarily Cancel

To temporarily cancel the system, use one of these methods:

  • Slightly depress the brake pedal.

  • (Manual transmission)

    Depress the clutch pedal.

  • Press the OFF/CANCEL switch.

If the RESUME/ switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher, the system reverts to the previously set speed.

 

  • If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control system is temporarily cancelled.

    • The parking brake is applied.

    • (Vehicles with Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL))

      The MODE switch for the Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL) is pressed.

    • (Automatic transmission)

      The selector lever is in the P or N position.

    • (Manual transmission)

      The shift lever is in the neutral position.

  • When the cruise control system is temporarily cancelled by even one of the applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.

  • (Automatic transmission)

    The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selector lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine braking will not be applied even if the transmission is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
