Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-
ly to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if
the brakes are wet. If there is a risk
that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you
put the shift lever in P (automatic
transaxle) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the transaxle
to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.✽ ✽NOTICE
• During normal cruise control
operation, when the SET switch is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after approx-
imately 3 seconds. 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.
To set cruise control speed:
1.Press the CRUISE button on the
steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
2.Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 40 km/h
(25 mph).

WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

3.Move the lever down (to SET-), and
release it at the desired speed. The
SET indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate.
Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing 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 km/h (1.0
mph) each time the lever is operat-
ed 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 km/h (1.0
mph) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.

Driving your vehicle
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 the cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto-matic transaxle.
Press the CANCEL switch.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the memory speed by 15
km/h (9 mph ).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (the SETindicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset speed.

To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 40
km/h (25 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 recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph ).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the
CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions will cancel the cruise control operation. If you wantto resume the cruise control opera-tion, repeat the steps provided in “Toset cruise control speed” on the pre-vious page.

WARNING - Smart Cruise
Control Inadvertent
Activation
If the smart cruise control is left
on (CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster illuminat-
ed), it can be activated inadver-
tently. Keep the smart cruise
control system off (CRUISE
indicator light OFF) when the
smart cruise control is not in
use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.
WARNING- Smart Cruise
Control Limitations
The smart cruise control is a supplemental system and is
not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices. It is the respon-
sibility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead.
Do not use the smart cruise control when it may not be
safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed, for instance, driv-
ing 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.
The smart cruise control sys- tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians or
an oncoming vehicle. Always
look ahead cautiously to pre-
vent unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather conditions.

Speed setting (SCC)
To set cruise control speed:
1.Press the CRUISE button, to turn
the system on. The CRUISE indi-
cator light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed. (110 mph) : when there is no vehi-
cle in front
mph) : when there is a vehicle in
front 3.Lever must be moved down (to
SET-) prior to setting any desired
speed. The SET indicator light, set
speed and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance on the LCD screen will illu-
minate.
4.Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automatically be
maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, thespeed may decrease to maintain thedistance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow 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 set speed will
increase by 10 km/h (5 mph).
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 (1
mph) each time you move the lever
up (to RES+) in this manner.
SCC will operate to a maximum setting of 180 km/h (110 mph).
However all local speed limit laws
must be followed.

speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
regulated automatically at this time
even if there is a vehicle in front of
you.
SCC will be temporarily canceled
when:
Cancelled manually
The brake pedal is depressed.
Press the CANCEL button.
The SCC turns off temporarily when
