Cruise Control (Some Models)

With cruise control, you can set and automatically maintain any speed of more than about 25 km/h (16 mph).

 

Do not use the cruise control under the following conditions:

Using the cruise control under the following conditions is dangerous and could result in loss of vehicle control.

  • Hilly terrain

  • Steep inclines

  • Heavy or unsteady traffic

  • Slippery or winding roads

  • Similar restrictions that require inconsistent speed

To Set Speed

  1. Activate the cruise control system by pressing the ON switch. The cruise main indication (white) is displayed.

  2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).

  3. Set the cruise control by pressing the SET/ switch at the desired speed. The cruise control is set at the moment the SET/ switch is pressed. Release the accelerator pedal simultaneously. The cruise set indication (green) is displayed.

 

  • The cruise control speed setting cannot be performed under the following conditions:

    • The selector lever is in the P or N position.

    • The parking brake is applied.

  • Release the SET/ or RES/ switch at the desired speed, otherwise the speed will continue increasing while the RES/ switch is pressed and held, and continue decreasing while the SET/ switch is pressed and held (except when the accelerator pedal is depressed).

  • On a steep grade, the vehicle may momentarily slow down while ascending, or speed up while descending.

  • The cruise control will cancel if the vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h (13 mph) when climbing a steep grade.

  • The cruise control may cancel at about 15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed such as when climbing a long, steep grade.

The vehicle speed preset using the cruise control is displayed in the instrument cluster.

To Decrease Cruising Speed

Press the SET/ switch and hold it. The vehicle will gradually slow.

Release the switch at the desired speed.

 

Press the SET/ switch and release it immediately to adjust the preset speed. Multiple operations will decrease the preset speed according to the number of times it is operated.

Decreasing speed with a single SET/ switch operation

Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)

Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)

To Resume Cruising Speed at More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)

If the cruise control system temporarily canceled (such as applying the brake pedal) and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume when the RES/ switch is pressed.

If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16 mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25 km/h (16 mph) or more and press the RES/ switch.

To Temporarily Cancel

To temporarily cancel the system, use one of these methods:

  • Slightly depress the brake pedal.

  • Press the OFF/CAN switch.

If the RES/ switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher, the system reverts to the previously set speed.

 

  • If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control system is temporarily canceled.

    • The parking brake is applied.

    • The selector lever is in the P or N position.

  • When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.

  • The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selector lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine braking will not be applied even if the transaxle is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
