driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the overtaking lane is on a differ-
ent side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the
turn signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e.g., if the
driver normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane is to the right but
then drives to a region where the overtaking la ne is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate
when the right turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is re ached. The system then returns to constant
speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.

come on and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display. Press the
switch again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol.
If the cruise control ma in switch is pressed
and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the sys-
tem turns on in constant speed control
mode. ( P.205)

When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the
driver. An example of this would be if
another driver cuts in front of you while
you are following a vehicle. Depress
the brake pedal to ensure an appropri-
ate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
