To decrease the cruising
speed:

Follow either of these procedures:
• Move the lever down (to SET-) and

hold it. Your vehicle will gradually
slow down. Release the lever at the
speed you want to maintain.

• Move the lever down (to SET-) and

release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 mph (1
km/h) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.

To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:

If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with the cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.

To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:

• Depress the brake pedal.
• Shift into N (Neutral) with an

Automatic Transaxle.

• Press the CANCEL switch.
• Decrease the vehicle speed lower

than the set speed by 12 mph (20
km/h).

• Decrease the vehicle speed to less

than approximately 15 mph (25

Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (The set
speed on the LCD will disappear and
the CRUISE indicator will illuminate
continuously.), but it will not turn the
system off. If you wish to resume
cruise control operation, move the
lever up (to RES+). You will return to
your previously preset speed.

To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h):

If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:

• Press the CRUISE button (the

CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).

• Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions will cancel the
cruise control operation. If you want
to resume the cruise control opera-
tion, repeat the steps provided in “To

SMART CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

➀ Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance

The smart cruise control system
allows you to program the vehicle to
maintain a constant speed and a
predetermined distance to the vehi-
cle ahead without depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal.
To see the SCC screen on the LCD
display on the cluster, select Assist
mode (

). For more informations,

WARNING

- Smart cruise control sys-

tem Inadvertent Activation

If the smart cruise control sys-
tem is left on (CRUISE indicator
in the instrument cluster illumi-
nated), it can be activated inad-
vertently. Keep the smart cruise
control system off (CRUISE
indicator off) when the smart
cruise control system is not in
use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.

WARNING

- Smart cruise control sys-

tem Limitations

Take the following precautions :
• Always set the vehicle speed

under the speed limit in your
country.

• The smart cruise control sys-

temis a supplemental system
and is not a substitute for safe
driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.

• Use the smart cruise control

system only when traveling
on open highways in good
weather.

• Do not use the smart cruise

control when it may not be
safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed. For instance.

Limitations of the system

The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.

On curves

• On curves, the smart cruise control

system may not immediately
detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly slow
down when the vehicle ahead is
recognized suddenly.

• Select the appropriate set speed

on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road and driving conditions ahead.

• Your vehicle speed can be reduced

due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road and driving
conditions ahead. Apply the accel-
erator pedal and select the appro-
priate set speed. Check to be sure
that the road conditions permit safe
operation of the smart cruise con-
trol system.
