Cruise control
*
E00609100519
Cruise control is an automatic
speed control system that keeps
a set speed. It can be activated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.NOTE●
Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills.
●
Your speed may decrease on
a steep uphill. You may use
the accelerator pedal if you want
to stay at your set speed.
●
Your speed may increase to mo
re than the set speed on a
steep downhill. You have to use the brake to control yourspeed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
CAUTION
!●
If the vehicle is towed with
the ignition switch in the
“ON” position and only the front wheels or only therear wheels raised off the
ground, the active traction
control function may operate
, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehi
cle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position. When towi
ng the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep th
e ignition switch in the
“ACC” position. Refer to “Towing” on page 6-29.
CAUTION
!●
When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
●
Do not use cruise control
when driving conditions
will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,snow-covered, wet, slipp
ery, on a steep downhill
slope.
●
On vehicles with M/T, do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position while driving at a set speed without depressing
the clutch pedal. The
engine will run too fast and might be damaged.

If the set speed driving is deactivated by the condition described in “To deactivate” on page 4-76, you can resume the previously set speed by pressi
ng the “ACC RES” switch (C)
while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher. Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed. In these situations, repeat

braking and could cause
a serious accident.CAUTION

to turn off the cruise
control and have it in
