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.
x Under 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
