hold the “ON/OFF” button for 1.5
seconds or more. Immediately after the “ON/OFF” but-
ton is pressed, the radar cruise control
indicator will come on. Afterwards, it
switches to the cruise control indicator.
Switching to constant speed control
mode is only possible when operating
the lever with the cruise control off.
Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (at or above
approximately 25 mph [40 km/h])
and push the lever down to set the
speed. Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
