Cruise Control

Activation/Deactivation

 

Always turn off the cruise control system when it is not in use:

Leaving the cruise control system in an activation-ready state while the cruise control is not in use is dangerous as the cruise control could unexpectedly activate if the activation button is accidentally pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.

To Set Speed

  1. Activate the cruise control system by pressing the cruise switch. The cruise standby indication (white) turns on.

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

  3. Adjust the system to the desired vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal. Press the RES switch up (SET+) or down (SET-) to start cruise control. The cruise control indication (green) in the instrument cluster turns on at the same time. Quickly release the switch when the cruise control indication (green) turns on.

 

  • If the RES switch is operated up (SET+) or down (SET-) while the vehicle speed is between 25 and 30 km/h (16 to 19 mph), the set speed is set to 30 km/h (19 mph).

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

    • Any of the doors is opened.

    • The driver's seat belt is unfastened.

    • The brake pedal is depressed.

    • The parking brake is applied.

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

  • 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 20 km/h (12 mph) when the cruise control is activated, such as when climbing a steep grade.

To Resume Cruising Speed at More Than 30 km/h (19 mph)

If the cruise control system is temporarily canceled (such as by 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 30 km/h (19 mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 30 km/h (19 mph) or more and press the RES switch.
