Reducing Speed While Cruise
Control is at a Set Speed
If the cruise control system is
already activated:
Move the control toward
SET and hold until the desired
lower speed is reached, then
release it.
To decrease the vehicle speed in
small amounts, move the control
toward SET briefly. Each time
this is done, the vehicle goes
about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.
The cruise control system may
automatically brake to slow the
vehicle down.
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to
increase the vehicle speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal,
the vehicle will slow down to the
previous set cruise speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control will work
on hills depends upon the vehicle
speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle speed. When going
downhill, you might have to brake or
shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle speed down. If the brake is
applied, the cruise control
disengages.

Ending Cruise Control

There are three ways to end cruise
control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press .
Press .
Driving and Operating

Erasing Speed Memory

The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory if
pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.

Adaptive Cruise Control

For vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), it allows the driver to
select the cruise control set speed
and following gap. Read this entire
section before using this system.
The following gap is the following
time between your vehicle and a
vehicle detected directly ahead in
your path moving in the same
direction. If no vehicle is detected in
your path, ACC works like regular
cruise control. ACC uses camera
and radar sensors. See
