Auto-speed (cruise) control
*
E00609100391
Auto-speed control is an automatic speed control system. It lets
you keep the same driving speed, auto-speed control can be
used at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more. It is especially useful
for highway driving. Auto-speed control does not work at
speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
NOTE
●
Auto-speed control may not be able to keep your speed on
uphills or downhills.
●
Your speed may drop on a steep uphill. You must use the
accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.
● Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a
steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your
speed. If your speed increases too much, turn off the auto-
speed control. (Refer to “To deactivate” on page 4-50.)

CAUTION
!
●
For safety reasons, deactivate the cruise control sys-
tem using the main switch (A) when you are not
using the auto-speed control system.
(Refer to “To deactivate” on page 4-50.)
●
Auto-speed control is not recommended when driv-
ing conditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, or slippery, or on a
steep downhill.
●
For vehicles with M/T, if you shift to “N” (Neutral)
position in auto-speed control mode without press-
ing the clutch first, the engine will run too fast and
might be damaged.
