The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20
mph ). If the cruise control is left on,
(cruise indicator light is illuminat-
ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep the
cruise control system off when the
cruise control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open highways
in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep the vehi-
cle at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or vary-
ing traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy
or snow- covered) or winding roads
or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
Pay particular attention to the driv- ing conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

Driving your vehicle
To set cruise control speed:
1. Press the CRUISE button on thesteering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 30 km/h
(20 mph). 3. Move the lever down (to SET-), and
release it at the desired speed. The
cruise indicator and set speed on
the LCD screen will illuminate.
Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing downhill.
To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+) and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate.
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1 km/h (1.0
mph) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.

To decrease the cruising
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-) and
hold it. Your vehicle will gradually
slow down. Release the lever at the
speed you want to maintain.
Move the lever down (to SET-) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1 km/h (1.0
mph) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.
To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with the cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an Automatic transmission.
Press the CANCEL switch.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the set speed by 20 km/h (12
mph).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 25 km/h (15
mph).

Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (The setspeed on the LCD will disappear andthe CRUISE indicator will illuminatecontinuously.), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 30
km/h (20 mph):
If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions will cancel the cruise control operation. If you wantto resume the cruise control opera-tion, repeat the steps provided in “Toset cruise control speed” on the pre-vious page.

➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The smart cruise control system
allows you to program the vehicle to
maintain constant speed and dis-
tance detecting the vehicle ahead
without depressing the accelerator or
brake pedal.
WARNING
- Smart cruise control sys- tem Inadvertent Activation
If the smart cruise control sys-
temis left on (CRUISE indicator
in the instrument cluster illumi-
nated), it can be activated inad-
vertently. Keep the smart cruise
control systemsystem off
(CRUISE indicator turn off)
when the smart cruise control
systemis not in use to avoid
setting a speed which the driver
is not aware of.
WARNING
- Smart cruise control sys- tem Limitations
The smart cruise control sys- temis a supplemental system
and is not a substitute for safe
driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Use the smart cruise control system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.

safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed. For instance.
- Highway interchange andtollgate
- Road surrounded by abnor- mally multiple steel con-
structions (subway con-
struction, steel tunnel, etc)

(Continued)(Continued)- When driving in heavy trafficor when traffic conditions
make it difficult to drive at a
constant speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or snow covered roads
- When driving with limited view (possibly due to bad
weather, such as fog, snow,
rain or sandstorm)
The smart cruise control sys- temsystem cannot recognize
a stopped vehicle, pedestri-
ans or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the smart cruise control
system.
(Continued)(Continued)
Be careful when drivingdownhill using the SCC.
Limited visibility (rain, snow, smog, etc.)
Cruise function should not be used when the vehicle is
being towed to prevent any
damage.
Always set the vehicle speed under the speed limit in your
country.
Unexpected situations may lead to possible accidents.
Pay attention continuously to
road conditions and driving
even when the smart cruise
control system is being oper-
ated.
