STARTING AND DRIVING
438
Conventional cruise control mode
This mode allows you to cruise at constant speed over
about 45 km/h (28 mph) with your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Within the limits of the hybrid system’s capabilities, cruising
speed will be maintained up or down grades. Because speed
changes will increase in proportion to grade, cruise control
should not be used on steeper hills.
CAUTION
In the conventional cruise control mode, the
approach warning does not activate and no alarm will
sound even if you are too close to the vehicle ahead,
as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle−to−vehicle distance is detected. Pay special
attention to the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead. Always confirm the cruise control
mode on the display.
Do not use the conventional mode in the following
conditions, or serious injury or death could result:
To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle,
do not use conventional cruise control mode when
using dynamic laser cruise control while driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or
snow−covered) or winding roads.
Avoid vehicle speed increasing when driving
downhill. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to
the preset speed in the conventional cruise control
mode, cancel the conventional cruise control mode
and then downshift the transmission to use engine
braking to slow down.
