Starting and operating/Cruise control

do not shift the lever into the “N”
position while driving except in case
of emergency. If the select lever is
shifted into the “N” position, the
engine brake will no longer work.
This could result in an accident.
The cruise control set indicator in the
combination meter disappears when the
cruise control is canceled.

& To turn off the cruise control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise
control:
. Press the cruise control main button
again.
. Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“LOCK”/“OFF” position (but only when the
vehicle is completely stopped).

& To change the cruising speed
! To increase the speed (by the “RES/
SET” switch)

The set speed can be increased 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) or 1km/h (0.6mph) each time by
pressing the “RES/SET” switch to the
“RES” side quickly.
! To increase the speed (by accelerator pedal)
1. Depress the accelerator pedal to
accelerate the vehicle to the desired
speed.
2. Press the “RES/SET” switch to the
“SET” side once. Now the desired speed
is set and the vehicle will keep running at
that speed without depressing the accelerator pedal.

NOTE

To resume the cruise control after it has
been temporarily canceled and with vehicle speed of approximately 20 mph (30
km/h) or more, press the “RES/SET”
switch to the “RES” side to return to the
original cruising speed automatically.
The cruise control set indicator in the
combination meter will automatically appear at this time.

Press the “RES/SET” switch to the “RES”
side and hold it until the vehicle reaches
the desired speed. Then, release the
switch. The vehicle speed at that moment
will be memorized and treated as the new
set speed.

CVT models:
. If you depress the accelerator pedal
while the Sport Sharp (S#) mode is
selected, th e select lever/gear position
indicator may change from the “D”
indication to the current gear position
indication.
. If you depress the accelerator pedal
fully while the Intelligent (I) mode or the
Sport (S) mode is selected, the transmission will operate like a conventional
automatic transmission.
