Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that
are winding, slippery, or unpaved.

• Turn off the vehicle ignition.
Once speed control is switched off,
the previously programmed set

To set a speed
• Press SET ACC. For speed
control to operate, the speed

If you drive up or down a steep hill, your vehicle speed may vary

Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it increases above the
set speed on a downhill. If your vehicle speed is faster than the set
speed while driving on a downhill, you may want to shift to the next
lower gear or apply the brakes to reduce your vehicle speed.
