easing the
clutch pedal while in gear (manual transaxle) or depressing the accele\
rator pedal (automatic
transaxle)).

When Driving
Brake
To release AUTOHOLD and start
driving the vehicle
If you do any of the following actions
to resume driving the vehicle, the
brakes release automatically and the
AUTOHOLD active indicator light turns
off.
(Manual transaxle vehicle) You start to release the clutch pedal with
the shift lever shifted to a position other
than the neutral position
(Automatic transaxle vehicle) The accelerator pedal is depressed. The vehicle tilts rearward or the
selector lever is shifted to the R
position on level ground.
NOTE
If the electric parking brake (EPB)
switch is pulled while the AUTOHOLD
is operating, the AUTOHOLD is
released and the electric parking brake
(EPB) is applied. In addition, if the
electric parking brake (EPB) is released
under this condition, the AUTOHOLD
operates to hold the brakes.
Under the following conditions,
the electric parking brake (EPB)
is automatically applied and the
AUTOHOLD is released. The
AUTOHOLD is re-enabled when the
conditions before the AUTOHOLD is
released are restored.
The driver’s seat belt is unfastened. The driver’s door is opened. When about ten minutes or longer
have passed since the AUTOHOLD
operation started, the electric parking
brake (EPB) is automatically applied.
Because the AUTOHOLD is restored
when releasing the electric parking
brake (EPB), the hold on the brakes by
AUTOHOLD function resumes.

When Driving
Cruise Control
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.
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
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Instrument cluster 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 the cruise control system temporarily
canceled (such as by 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 transaxle) 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 transaxle) The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transaxle) 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 transaxle) 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.
