1. CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH
8510-23CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
The purpose of the cruise control system is to automatically maintain a vehicle speed set by the
driver, without depressing the accelerator pedal. The cruise control switch is located under the
right side of the steering wheel, and when this switch is operating "AUTO CRUISE" lamp comes
on.
The minimum speed for setting the cruise control system is 36 km/h (22.37 mph). Pay constant
attention to the distance between the vehicles and the traffic conditions when using the cruise
control system.
The cruise control system is a supplementary system, which helps the driver to drive the
vehicle at a desired speed without using the accelerator pedal under the traffic condition
where the vehicle-to-vehicle distance meets the legal requirement.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
1) When To Use
Use the cruise control system only when (a) the traffic is not jammed, (b) driving on motorways
or highways where there is no sudden change in the driving condition due to traffic lights,
pedestrian, etc.
Use the cruise control system only when driving on motorways or highways. Do not use the
cruise control system where the road conditions are as follows:
- When there is strong wind or cross wind.
- Heavy traffic.
- Slippery roads or steep decline.

3. HOW TO OPERATE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH
1) How To Set Speed
To operate the cruise control system, accelerate the vehicle to the speed within the specified
range below with depressing the accelerator pedal.
- Cruise control operating range: between 36 km/h (22.37 mph) and 150 km/h (93.207 mph)
When the desired speed is reached, which should be within the above range, push up the
cruise control switch lever to ACCEL side (upwards arrow), or push down the switch lever to
DECEL side (downwards arrow).
Now the vehicle is cruised by this system with the set speed. You don't need to use the
accelerator pedal.
Refer to the following pages for details of operation. 1.
2.
3.
4.
Never use the cruise control system until you get used to it.
Improper use or not fully aware of this function could result in collision and/or personal
injuries.

2) Accelerating with the Cruise Control System
(1) While the cruise control system is running
To increase the set speed, push up the cruise control switch lever to ACCEL side and hold it
until the desired speed is reached without depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the desired speed is set, release the switch lever. 1.
2.
(2) When the cruise control system is not running
Accelerate the vehicle to more than 36 km/h (22.37 mph) using the accelerator pedal.
Push up the cruise control switch lever to ACCEL side and hold it.
When the desired speed is reached, release the accelerator pedal and the switch lever. 1.
2. To increase the speed with the cruise control system while the system is not running, follow the
procedures below.
(3) Tap-up while the cruise control system is running
Push up the cruise control switch lever to ACCEL side for less than 0.5 second per one
switching while the cruise control system is running; the speed increases each time by 1.3
km/h (0.81 mph).
For example, if you want to increase the speed 13 km/h (81 mph) more than the previous set
speed, tap up the switch lever to ACCEL side ten times without using the accelerator pedal. 1.
2. To increase the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the
procedures below.

3) Decelerating with the Cruise Control System
(1) While the cruise control system is running
To decrease the set speed, push down the cruise control switch lever to DECEL side and
hold it until the desired speed is reached without depressing the brake pedal.
But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at less than 34 km/h
(21.13 mph).
When the desired speed is set, release the switch lever. 1.
2.
(2) When the cruise control system is not running
Push down the cruise control switch lever to DECEL side and hold it until the desired speed
is reached while the vehicle speed is over 36 km/h (22.37 mph).
When the desired speed is reached, release the switch lever.
But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at less than 34 km/h (21.13
mph). 1.
2.
3. To decrease the speed with the cruise control system while the system is not running, follow
the procedures below.
(3) Tap-down while the cruise control system is running
Push down the cruise control switch lever to DECEL side for less than 0.5 second per one
switching while the cruise control system is running; the speed decreases each time by 1.0
km/h (0.62 mph).
For example, if you want to decrease the speed 10 km/h (62 mph) lower than the previous
set speed, tap down the switch lever to DECEL side ten times without using the brake pedal. 1.
2. To decrease the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the
below procedures.
