-
low 21 km/h (13 mph) when the cruise control is activated, such as when climbing a steep grade.
-
The cruise control may cancel at about 15 km/h (9 mph) below the preset speed, such as when climbing a long, steep grade.
To Increase Cruising Speed Follow either of these procedures. To increase speed using cruise control switch Press the RESUME/ switch and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the switch at the desired speed. Press the RESUME/ switch and release it immediately to adjust the preset speed. Multiple operations will increase the preset speed according to the number of times it is operated. Increasing speed with a single RESUME/ switch operation Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph) Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h) To increase speed using the accelerator pedal Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate to the desired speed. Press the SET/switch and release it immediately. NOTE Accelerate if you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on. Greater speed will not interfere with or change the set speed. Take your foot off the accelerator to return to the set speed. To Decrease Cruising Speed Press the SET/ switch and hold it. The vehicle will gradually slow. Release the switch at the desired speed. Press the SET/ switch and release it immediately to adjust the preset speed. Multiple operations will decrease the preset speed according to the number of times it is operated. Decreasing speed with a single SET/switch operation Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph) Instrument cluster display for vehicle speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h) To Resume Cruising Speed at More Than 25 km/h (16 mph) If the cruise control system temporarily canceled (such as by applying the brake pedal) and the system is still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume when the RESUME/ switch is pressed. If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16 mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25 km/h (16 mph) or more and press the RESUME/ switch.

-
The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selector lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine braking will not be applied even if the transaxle is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
