hicle at a set speed
• In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in
speed
• On winding or hilly roads
• On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
• In very windy areas
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the cruise
control ON/OFF switch on. The
indica-
tor (white) in the vehicle information display
will illuminate.

significantly such that the system
cannot detect and react in time (for
example, pedestrian moving quickly
toward the vehicle at close range, ve-
hicle cutting in, changing lanes, mak-
ing a turn, steering abruptly, sudden
acceleration or deceleration).
– When the vehicle or pedestrian is off-
set from the vehicle’s forward path.
– If the speed difference between the
two vehicles is small.
– The pedestrian’s profile is partially
obscured or unidentifiable; for ex-
ample, due to transporting luggage,
pushing a stroller, wearing bulky or
very loose-fitting clothing or acces-
sories, or being in a unique posture
(such as raising hands).
