Decelerating under Cruise Con-
trol
If the cruise control system has been
enabled,
•
you can press the button toward RES -
direction and hold the button until the
speed is decreased to the desired one,
and then release it.
•
If you just want a slightly lower speed,
you can press and release the button
toward RES - direction. Every operation
in this way can reduce the speed by 2
km/hour.
Overtaking under Cruise Control
Increase the speed of the vehicle with the
accelerator pedal. When your feet are off
the accelerator pedal, the speed of the vehi-
cle will be reduced to the preset cruise con-
trol speed.
Using Cruise Control on Grade
When driving on the grade, the perfor-
mance of the cruise control system
depends on the speed, loads and the slope
of the grade. When the vehicle is climbing
an abrupt slope, you may need to press the
accelerator pedal to maintain the speed.
When driving down the slope, you may
need to apply the brake or push the shift
lever to the lower gear position to maintain
the speed of the vehicle. When the brake is
enabled, the cruise control system will be
turned off.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to disconnect the
cruise control:
•
Slightly press the brake pedal, the
cruise indicator light will be illuminated.
•
Shift the gear to the neutral position (N).
•
Press the Cancel button
.
•
Press the ON/OFF button
to close
the cruise control system completely.
The speed of the cruise control will not
be recovered.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you close the cruise control or start
the switch, the set speed memory of the
cruise control will be cleared.
