tion display (୴ page 141) go out and no
warning sounds.

Moving the gear selector lever to position N
while driving also cancels the cruise control.
However, the gear selector lever should not be
moved to position N while driving except to
coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding
(e.g. on icy roads).

deactivate the cruise control. After brief acceler-
ation (e.g. for passing), the cruise control will re-
sume the last speed set.

When you use the cruise control lever to de-
celerate, the brake system will automatically
brake the vehicle if the engine’s braking power
does not brake the vehicle sufficiently.
