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).
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 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. Press Res to re-engage it.
