Conventional Cruise Control

About Conventional Cruise Control
Conventional Cruise Control is a driving support system intended to allow more comfortable
driving on expressways, freeways and interstate highways. It can be used to travel at a con-
stant speed by maintaining the vehicle speed set by the driver. Please remember that you
should not exceed posted speed limits.
• When Conventional Cruise Control is functioning, the system does not per-
form the following control to maintain a following distance, as when using
Adaptive Cruise Control.
Strive for safe driving and depress the brake pedal to decelerate the vehi-
cle as necessary in order to ensure a safe following distance from the vehi-
cle in front.
• Under the following conditions, do not use the Conventional Cruise
Control. Doing so may result in an accident.
- Roads with heavy traffic or roads with sharp curves
Maintaining an appropriate speed for such road conditions may be diffi-
cult.
- Frozen roads, snow-covered roads or slippery road surfaces
The tires may spin, causing your vehicle to lose control.
- Steep downhill grades
The set vehicle speed may be exceeded.
- On a steep continuous downhill grade
The brakes may overheat.
When using Cruise Control, be sure to check the display screen to confirm
which Cruise Control mode is selected: Adaptive Cruise Control or
