Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
If the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off.
{
WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not
use the cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction
can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery
roads.
If the vehicle is in cruise control when the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin or the
stability control system activates, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See Traction Control System
(TCS)

the cruise control can be turned back on.
These controls are
located on the end of the
multifunction lever.
9 (Off) : Turns the system off.
R (On) : Turns the system on.
