Using “RES +” switch or “SET –” switch
To reset at a faster cruising speed, press
repeatedly or hold push “RES +” switch
(3). Vehicle speed will steadily increase.
When you release the switch, the new
speed will be maintained.
To reset at a slower cruising speed, press
repeatedly or hold push “SET –” switch (4)
until the vehicle has slowed to the desired
speed, and then release the switch. The
new speed will be maintained.
NOTE:
You can adjust the set speed by approxi-
mately 1.6 km/h by pushing “RES +” switch
(3) or “SET –” switch (4) quickly.
Cancelling cruise control
“SET” indicator (6) will disappear and the
cruise control will be canceled temporarily
with the following conditions:
• Push “CANCEL” switch (2).
• Depress the brake pedal.
• For manual transaxle, depress the clutch
pedal.
• For automatic transaxle vehicle, down-
shift from 3rd to 2nd in the manual
mode.
• For automatic transaxle vehicle, the gear
position is changed to “L”
• The vehicle speed falls more than about
20 percent from the set speed.
• Any time the vehicle speed falls below
40 km/h (25 mph).
• When the vehicle skids and ABS or ESP
(if equipped) is activated.
To resume the previously set speed, push
“RES +” switch (3) and show “SET” indica-
tor (6). The vehicle speed must be above
40 km/h (25 mph) when the vehicle is not
under the above conditions.
To turn off the cruise control system, push
“CRUISE” switch (1) and check that the
cruise control indicator (5) disappears.
Also, if the malfunction indicator light in the
instrument cluster comes on or blinks, the
cruise control system will be turned off.
NOTE:
If you turn off the cruise control system, the
previously set speed in the memory is
cleared. Reset your cruising speed again.
Parking Sensors
• The parking sensor system uses ultra-
sonic sensors to detect obstacles near
the rear bumpers. If obstacles are
sensed while you are parking or moving
the vehicle slowly, the system warns you
by sounding a buzzer.
• The system emits an ultrasonic wave
and the relevant sensor detects the
return of the wave reflected by an obsta-
cle. The system measures the time
taken by the ultrasonic wave to reach the
obstacle and return from it, from which it
determines the obstacle’s position.
• The parking sensor function can be used
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
gearshift lever is in the “R” position. This
function is helpful in the following cases:
pulling over to the curb; parallel-parking
the vehicle; steering the vehicle into a
garage, driving along an alley; and mov-
ing slowly in a place with obstacles.
