3. Push the switch down (SET-). The set speed and distance between vehicles will appear on the LCD display.

4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will be maintained automatically.

If a vehicle is ahead of you, the speed may decrease to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead.

On a steep hill, the vehicle may slightly decelerate or accelerate uphill or downhill.

The vehicle speed may decrease uphill and increase downhill.

CAUTION

When the vehicle speed is below 10 km/h, Smart Cruise Control is canceled. The driver must adjust the vehicle speed by pressing the accelerator or brake pedal depending on road conditions ahead and driving conditions.

To Temporarily Accelerate with Smart Cruise Control Active

If you want to temporarily increase speed while Smart Cruise Control is active, depress the accelerator pedal. The increased speed will not interfere with Smart Cruise Control operation or change the set speed.

To return to the set speed, release the accelerator pedal.

If you push the switch down (SET-) at the increased speed, the cruise speed will be set again at the current speed.

Information

Use caution when temporarily accelerating, because speed is not controlled automatically at this time, even if a vehicle is ahead of you.
