Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
activate after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

To set cruise control speed:
1. Press the CRUISE button on the
steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 20 mph
(30 km/h). 3. Move the lever down (to SET-), and
release it at the desired speed. The
cruise indicator and set speed on
the LCD screen will illuminate.
Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down when driving uphill orspeed up slightly while going downhill.
To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+) and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate.
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 mph (1
km/h ) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.

To decrease the cruising
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-) andhold it. Your vehicle will gradually
slow down. Release the lever at the
speed you want to maintain.
Move the lever down (to SET-) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 mph (1
km/h) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.
To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with the cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an Automatic Transaxle.
Press the CANCEL switch.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the set speed by 12 mph (20
km/h).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 15 mph (25
km/h).

Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (The setspeed on the LCD will disappear andthe CRUISE indicator will illuminatecontinuously.), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h):
If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions will cancel the cruise control operation. If you wantto resume the cruise control opera-tion, repeat the steps provided in “Toset cruise control speed” on the pre-vious page.

SMART CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
➀Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The smart cruise control system
allows you to program the vehicle to
maintain a constant speed and a
predetermined distance to the vehi-
cle ahead without depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal.
To see the SCC screen on the LCD
display on the cluster, select Assist
mode ( ). For more informations,
refer to “LCD Display Modes” in
chapter 4.
WARNING
- Smart cruise control sys- tem Inadvertent Activation
If the smart cruise control sys-
tem is left on (CRUISE indicator
in the instrument cluster illumi-
nated), it can be activated inad-
vertently. Keep the smart cruise
control system off (CRUISE
indicator off) when the smart
cruise control system is not in
use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.
WARNING
- Smart cruise control sys- tem Limitations
Take the following precautions :
Always set the vehicle speed under the speed limit in your
country.
The smart cruise control sys- temis a supplemental system
and is not a substitute for safe
driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.
control when it may not be
safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed. For instance.

Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the smart cruise control
system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the SCC.
Cruise function should not be used when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent any
damage.
