To Resume Cruising Speed at
More Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If some other method besides the OFF/
CANCEL switch was used to cancel
cruising speed (such as applying the brake
pedal) and the system is still activated, the
most recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RESUME/ switch is
pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25
km/h (16 mph) or more and press the
RESUME/ switch.

the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
 The parking brake is applied. (Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position. (Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
 When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set. (Automatic transmission)
The cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted
