vehicle at a set speed

• in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies

The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-

keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.

To turn on the cruise control, push the MAIN
switch on. The CRUISE indicator on the vehicle
information display will illuminate.

To set the cruising speed, accelerate the ve-
hicle to the preferred speed, push the COAST/
SET switch and release it. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. The vehicle will maintain the
set speed.

To pass another vehicle, depress the accel-

erator pedal. When you release the pedal, the
vehicle will return to the previously set speed.

• The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on

winding or hilly roads. If this happens, drive
without using the cruise control.

To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following methods.

1. Push the CANCEL switch.

2. Tap the brake pedal.

3. Turn the MAIN switch off. The CRUISE indi-

cator on the vehicle information display will
turn off.

• If you depress the brake pedal while pushing the

ACCEL/RES or COAST/SET switch and reset
at the cruising speed, the cruise control will
disengage. Turn the MAIN switch off once and
then turn it on again.

vehicle slows more than 8 MPH (13 km/h) be-
low the set speed.
