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. 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.
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.

- The brake pedal is released.
- The vehicle speed is between approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90 MPH (145
km/h).
- Parking brake is released.
■Setting Conventional Cruise Control
(1) Setting the Conventional Cruise Control to standby status.
Press the (CRUISE) switch. At this time, (Adaptive Cruise Control) and the
“following distance setting” are displayed on the EyeSight display area of the multi
information display. The set vehicle speed display will read “- - MPH”.
When the (CRUISE) switch is pressed, the initial cruise control mode is always
Adaptive Cruise Control.
If the switch is pressed once more, the EyeSight display will turn off. It will also automatically
turn off when the engine is stopped.

(4) When the vehicle speed is between approximately 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 90 MPH (145
km/h), press the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-”.
The vehicle speed at the time the switch is pressed becomes the set vehicle speed, and
constant-speed driving is engaged.
and the set vehicle speed are displayed on the EyeSight display area.
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
xOn a downhill grade, automatic braking may operate in order to maintain
the set vehicle speed.
xWhen driving on a curve, the vehicle may not accelerate, or may deceler-
ate, even if the set speed is higher than the current vehicle speed.
xTo return to Adaptive Cruise Control use, cancel the Conventional Cruise
Control then briefly press the (following distance setting) switch. A
buzzer will sound (one short beep) when switching to Adaptive Cruise
Control.

■Increasing the set vehicle speed
The following two methods can be used to increase the set vehicle speed.
●Using the RES/SET switch
xPressing to the “RES/+” side briefly
Every time you press the “RES/+” side, the
set vehicle speed will increase to the next 5
MPH (5 km/h) increment.
xPressing the “RES/+” side continuously
While pressing the “RES/+” side, the set
vehicle speed will increase by 1 MPH (1
km/h).
When the switch is operated, the set vehicle
speed on the multi information display will
change.
● Using the accelerator pedal
Operate the accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed.
When the desired speed is reached, press the

■Decreasing the set vehicle speed
●
Using the RES/SET switch
xPressing to the “SET/-” side briefly
Every time you press the “SET/-” side, the
set vehicle speed decreases to the next 5
MPH (5 km/h) decrement.
xPressing to the “SET/-” side continuously
While pressing the “SET/-” side, the set
vehicle speed decreases by 1 MPH (1
km/h).
When the switch is operated, the set vehicle
speed on the multi information display will
change.
●Using the brake pedal
(1) Depress the brake pedal to decrease the vehicle speed. (Conventional Cruise Control
will be canceled and will be turned off.)
(2) When the desired speed is reached, press the RES/SET switch to the “SET/-”. The
speed at the time of pressing the switch will be set as the new vehicle speed, and it
appears in the EyeSight display area.
