speed by pushing the RES (+) button.
The driver's preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings (if

O CCELERATE OR ASSING
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When
the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the
set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Speed Control system maintains speed up and
down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without
Speed Control.
