Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. It can be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining the vehicle speed that was set by the driver (approximately 25
MPH (40 km/h) to 90 MPH (145 km/h)). Please remember that you should not exceed
posted speed limits.
About Conventional Cruise Control
WARNING
xWhen Conventional Cruise Control is functioning, the system does not per-
form tracking control to maintain following distance, as when using Adap-
tive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and operate the brake pedal to decelerate the vehi-
cle as necessary in order to ensure a safe following distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
xUnder the following conditions, do not use the Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
You may fail to drive at a speed that is appropriate for the road condi-
tions, possibly resulting in an accident.
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
- When towing a trailer.
CAUTION
When using Cruise Control, be sure to check the display screen to confirm
which Cruise Control mode is selected: Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control.

WARNING
The “brake more” warning will not activate while Conventional Cruise Control
is functioning.
CAUTION
During Conventional Cruise Control use, accelerator and brake control to
track the vehicle in front is not performed. Operate the accelerator and brake
pedals as necessary.
NOTE
xThe set vehicle speed can be adjusted between 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90
MPH (145 km/h).
xDuring Conventional Cruise Control use, the set vehicle speed is not
shown on the multi function display.
xOn a downhill grade, automatic braking may operate in order to maintain
the set vehicle speed.
xTo return to Adaptive Cruise Control use, cancel the Conventional Cruise
Control then press and hold the (following distance setting) switch for
approximately 2 seconds or longer.
xFor turbo models, when the vehicle speed is set while S# (Sports Sharp
mode) of SI-DRIVE is selected, the gear shift position display in the meter
switches from the current gear position to the position.
