Cruise control enables you to maintain a
constant vehicle speed without holding
your foot on the accelerator pedal and it is
operative when the vehicle speed is 25
mph (40 km/h) or more.

any of the following conditions.
These may cause loss of vehicle
control.

driving on slippery or winding
roads
.

NOTE

On uphill and downhill slopes, de-
pending on the degree of the slope and
the load of the vehicle, there may be
cases when a constant speed cannot
be guaranteed.

If the cruise control indicator light
does not illuminate even after pressing
the cruise control main button, it is
possible that there is a malfunction in
the system. We recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.

not in use to avoid unintentionally
setting the cruise control.
