To set a speed
Press SET ACC. For speed
control to operate, the speed
control must be ON and the vehicle
speed must be greater than
48 km/h (30 mph).
The control light in the instrument
panel will illuminate.
If you drive up or down a steep hill,
your vehicle speed may vary
momentarily slower or faster than
the set speed. This is normal.
Speed control cannot reduce the
vehicle speed if it increases above
the set speed on a downhill. If your
vehicle speed is faster than the set
speed while driving on a downhill in
overdrive, you may want to shift to
the next lower gear or apply the
brakes to reduce your vehicle
speed.
If your vehicle slows down more
than 16 km/h (10 mph) below your
set speed on an uphill, your speed
control will disengage. This is
normal. Pressing RES will
reĆengage it.
Do not use the speed
control in heavy traffic or
on roads that are winding,
slippery, or unpaved.
