uuWhen Driving uCruise Control
Driving
Cruise Control
Maintains a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on the 
accelerator. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where you can travel at a 
constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.1Cruise Control
It may not be possible to maintain a constant speed 
when driving uphill or downhill.
When not using cruise control:
Turn off cruise control by pressing the  CRUISE 
button.
While in ECON mode, it may take relatively more time 
to accelerate to maintain the set speed.
When the engine speed slows down, try to 
downshift.
You can maintain the set sp eed if you change gear 
within five seconds.
3WARNING
Improper use of the cruise control can lead 
to a crash.
Use the cruise control only when traveling 
on open highways in good weather.
