When Driving
Cruise Control
NOTE
 The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
 (Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position. (Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position. The parking brake is applied.
 Release the SET/ switch at the desired
speed, otherwise the speed will continue
decreasing while the SET/ switch is
pressed and held (except when the
accelerator pedal is depressed). On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while ascending
or speed up while descending. The cruise control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when the cruise control is
activated, such as when climbing a
steep grade. The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed,
such as when climbing a long, steep
grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise
control is displayed in the instrument
cluster.
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
Meter display for vehicle speed indicated
in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Meter 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.
NOTE
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.

When Driving
Cruise Control
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
Meter display for vehicle speed indicated
in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Meter 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 some other method besides the OFF/
CANCEL switch was used to cancel
cruising speed (such as 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.
NOTE
 If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
 The parking brake is applied. (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 canceled 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 transaxle is shifted
down to a lower gear. If deceleration is
required, lower the set speed or depress
the brake pedal.
To Deactivate
When a cruising speed has been set
(cruise set indicator light (green) turns
on)
Long-press the OFF/CANCEL switch or
press the OFF/CANCEL switch 2 times.
When a cruising speed has not been set
(cruise main indicator light (amber)
turns on)
Press the OFF/CANCEL switch.
