Activation/Deactivation
To activate the system, press the ON
switch.
The cruise main indicator light (Amber)
illuminates.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-22.
To deactivate the system, press the OFF
switch.
The cruise main indicator light (Amber)

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.
