Activation/Deactivation
WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control system when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an activation-ready state while the cruise control is not in use is dangerous as the cruise control could unexpectedly activate if the activation button is accidentally pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the system status before it was turned off is maintained. For example, if the ignition is switched OFF with the cruise control system operable, the system will be operable when the ignition is switched ON the next time.
Activation
To activate the system, press the ON switch. The cruise main indication (white) turns on.

To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by pressing the ON switch. The cruise main indication (white) turns on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET/ switch at the desired speed. The cruise control is set at the moment the
SET/ switch is pressed. Release the accelerator pedal simultaneously. The cruise set indication (green) turns on.
NOTE
The cruise control speed setting cannot be performed under the following conditions:
The selector lever is in the P or N position.
The parking brake is applied.
Release the SET/ or RESUME/ switch at the desired speed, otherwise the speed will continue increasing while the RESUME/ switch is pressed and held, and continue decreasing while the
SET/ switch is pressed and held
(except when the accelerator pedal is depressed).
On a steep grade, the vehicle may momentarily slow down while ascending or speed up while descending.
The cruise control will cancel if the vehicle speed decreases below 21 km/h
(13 mph) when the cruise control is activated, such as when climbing a steep grade.
The cruise control may cancel at about
15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed, such as when climbing a long, steep grade.
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise control is displayed in the instrument cluster and the active driving display
(vehicles with active driving display).

Slightly depress the brake pedal.
Press the OFF/CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME/ switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher, the system reverts to the previously set speed.
NOTE
If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control system is temporarily canceled.
The parking brake is applied.
The selector lever is in the P or N position.
When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
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 down to a lower gear. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
