About Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. It can be used to travel at a constant speed by maintaining the vehicle speed that was set by the driver. Please remember
that you should not exceed posted speed limits.
WARNING
When Conventional Cruise Control is functioning, the system does not perform tracking control to maintain following distance, as when using Adaptive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and operate the brake pedal to decelerate the vehicle as necessary in order to ensure a safe following distance from the vehicle in front.
Under the following conditions, do not use the Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
You may fail to drive at a speed that is appropriate for the road conditions, possibly resulting in an accident.
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing loss of control of the vehicle.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
CAUTION
When using Cruise Control, be sure to check the multi information display to
confirm which Cruise Control mode is selected: Adaptive Cruise Control or
Conventional Cruise Control.
If Adaptive Cruise Control is selected, “

indicator) illuminates.
If Conventional Cruise Control is selected, “

Control indicator) illuminates.
NOTE
When the
(CRUISE) switch is first turned on, the Adaptive Cruise
Control is set.
To change the Cruise Control mode, press and hold the
(following
distance setting) switch for approximately 2 seconds or longer.
(This is effective only when the main Cruise Control is on and neither
Adaptive Cruise Control nor Conventional Cruise Control are set.)
