2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain aconstant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20mph). CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illumi-
nated), the cruise control can
be switched on accidentally.
Keep the cruise control sys-
tem off (CRUISE indicatorlight OFF) when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when driving on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep
the vehicle at a constant speed,
for instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-
hill or down-hill roads.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control sys-tem.
(Continued)(Continued)
Be careful when drivingdownhill using the cruise con-
trol system, which may
increase the vehicle speed.

✽✽NOTICE
During normal cruise control oper- ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.Cruise control switch
CRUISE : Turns cruise control sys- tem on or off.
CANCEL: Cancels cruise control
operation.
RES+: Resumes or increases cruise control speed.
SET-: Sets or decreases cruise con- trol speed. To set cruise control speed:
1. Move the lever up (to CRUISE), to
turn the system on. The CRUISE
indicator light will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 30 km/h(20 mph).

3. Move the lever down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired
speed. The SET indicator light will
illuminate. Release the accelerator
pedal at the same time. Thedesired speed will automaticallybe maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
slow down or speed up slightly whilegoing uphill or downhill.
To increase cruise control set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+) and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate.
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 2.0 km/h or
1 mph each time you move the
lever up (to RES+) in this manner. To decrease the cruising speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-) and
hold it. Your vehicle will gradually
slow down. Release the lever at the
speed you want to maintain.
Move the lever down (to SET-) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 2.0 km/h or
1 mph each time you move the
lever down (to SET-) in this manner.

To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation orchange the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruisingspeed will be set again.To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto-
matic transaxle.
Move up the lever (to CANCEL) located on the steering wheel.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the memory speed by 20 km/h (12 mph).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 30 km/h (20mph). Increasing the vehicle speed to
more than approximately 200 km/h(125 mph).
The ESC is operating.
Downshifting to the 2nd gear with manual mode.
Operating the EPB switch. Do not operate the parking brake while
driving except in an emergency sit-uation.
Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (the
SET
indicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move up the lever (to RES+) located on yoursteering wheel. You will return to yourpreviously preset speed.OKH052061

To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 30km/h (20 mph):
If any method other than the
CRUISE lever was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when you
move the lever up (to RES+).
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).✽✽
NOTICE
Always check the road conditions
when you move the lever up (to
RES+) to resume the speed.To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Move the lever up (to CRUISE). (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off)
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions cancel cruise control operation. If you want toresume cruise control operation,repeat the steps provided in “To set cruise control speed” on the previouspage.

ADVANCED SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the smart cruise control is left on, (cruise indicator light
in the instrument cluster illu-
minated) the smart cruise con-
trol can be activated uninten-
tionally. Keep the smart cruise
control system off (cruise indi-
cator light off) when the smart
cruise control is not used.
Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
Do not use the smart cruise control when it may not be
safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed. For instance,
driving in heavy or varying
traffic, or on slippery (rainy,
icy or snow-covered) or wind-
ing roads or steep hills.

Speed setting
To set cruise control speed:
1. Move the lever up (to CRUISE), to
turn the system on. The CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed. The smart cruise control speed
can be set as follows:
when there isno vehicle in front
0 km/h~180 km/h: when there is a vehicle in front 3. Move the lever down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired speed. The SET indicator light, set speed
and vehicle to vehicle distance on
the LCD screen will illuminate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automati-cally be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the
speed may decrease to maintain thedistance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly while going uphill or downhill.

To increase cruise control setspeed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
increase by 10 km/h. Release the
lever at the speed you want.
Move the lever up (to RES+), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 km/h
each time you move the lever up
(to RES+) in this manner.
You can set the speed to 180 km/h (113 mph).
To decrease the crusie control
set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 10 km/h. Release the
lever at the speed you want.
Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 km/h
each time you move the lever down
(to SET-) in this manner.
You can set the speed to 30 km/h (18.6 mph).
To temporarily accelerate with the
cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation orchange the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruisingspeed will be set again.
✽✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
controlled automatically at this
time even if there is a vehicle in front
of you.
