Alternative Coarse Adjustment
An alternate coarse adjustment is also
possible by holding either SET+ or SET-.
The vehicle accelerates/decelerates at a
constant rate.
When accelerating, the set speed
indexes up when the vehicle speed
becomes 10 km/h greater than the set
speed.
When decelerating, the set speed
indexes down when the vehicle speed
becomes 10 km/h less than the set
speed. Release at the desired set speed.
Pedal Override
The cruise control may be overridden
by use of the accelerator pedal for
overtaking and so on. When the pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the set
speed shown.
If the driver accelerates the car to a
higher road speed than the set speed
shown on the cluster and presses either
the SET+ or SET- buttons, the cruise
control automatically sets to the new
road speed.
This is also the case if the vehicle picks
up speed going down a hill and the driver
presses SET+ .
To Coast
The cruise control can be temporarily
disengaged by momentarily pressing the
'RES COAST' button. The 'CRUISE SET'
indicator (Green) goes off and the set
speed display has a strike-through.
Quick Start
The cruise control system will also
be temporarily disengaged by:
Pressing either the brake or clutch
pedal.
Manually selecting a gear lower than
second gear.
Manually selecting neutral
transmission position.
To Resume
To resume cruise control, momentarily
press the 'RES COAST' button.
The vehicle adjusts its speed to match
the last set speed displayed on the
instrument cluster. The resume feature
will not work if the vehicle speed is below
approximately 40 km/h.
Note: The speed of the vehicle cannot
be automatically controlled until the
vehicle speed is above approximately 40
km/h .
Note: The cruise control system is
disengaged if the vehicle experiences
a Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
intervention.
Note: The cruise control system may
not be able to maintain the set speed
in certain circumstances (for example,
driving up steep hills). If the vehicle
speed drops below the set speed by
13-23 km/h, the cruise control system
may automatically disengage. You
need to manually control the vehicle
speed during this time and may resume
afterwards.
Full details on how to use the cruise
control are found in the 'Cruise Control'
section of this manual.
