To resume cruising speed at more than 40 km/h (24 mph):
If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recentset speed will automatically resume
when the RES/ACC switch is pushed
up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below40km/h (24 mph). The Traction Control System (TCS)
helps the vehicle accelerate on slip-
pery road surfaces by preventing the
drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively. It also provides improved driv-
ing force and steering.TCS operation
