Cruise Control
Maintains a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on the accelerator. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where you can travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.
WARNING
Improper use of the cruise control can lead to a crash.
Use the cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
It may not be possible to maintain a constant speed when driving uphill or downhill.
When not using cruise control: Turn off cruise control by pressing the CRUISE button.
■To Set the Vehicle Speed
Take your foot off the pedal and press the –/SET button when you reach the desired speed.
The moment you release the –/SET button, the set speed is fixed, and cruise control begins. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator comes on.
■To Adjust the Vehicle Speed
Increase or decrease the vehicle speed using the RES/+ or –/SET buttons on the steering wheel.
• Each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is increased or decreased
by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
• If you keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or decreases until
you
release it. This speed is then set.
You can set the vehicle speed using the –/SET button on the steering wheel when adjusting the speed with the accelerator and brake pedals.
■To Cancel

The CRUISE CONTROL indicator goes off.
Resuming the prior set speed: After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by pressing the RES/+ button while driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
You cannot set or resume in the following situations:

At vehicle speeds of 22 mph (35 km/h) or less, cruise control is canceled automatically.
