Cruise Main Indication (White)/Cruise Set Indication (Green)

The indication has two colors.
Cruise Main Indication (White)
The indication turns on (white) when the
cruise control system is activated.
Cruise Set Indication (Green)
The indication turns on (green) when a
cruising speed has been set.
Activation/Deactivation
To activate the system, press the ON

CANCEL switch.
The cruise main indication (white) turns
off.
WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control system
when it is not in use: Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as
the cruise control could unexpectedly
activate if the activation button is
accidentally pressed, and result in loss
of vehicle control and an accident.

NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition
is switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.

To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by pressing the ON switch. The cruise
main indication (white) turns on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).

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/

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.
