Driving Your Vehicle

To cancel cruise control, do one of the following.

~1min read
  • Press the brake pedal.
  • Shift the automatic transmission to N (Neutral).
  • Press the CANCEL switch.
  • Reduce the vehicle speed below the memory speed by 20 km/h.
  • Reduce the vehicle speed to approximately 25 km/h.

Each of these actions cancels cruise control operation (the SET indicator light on the instrument cluster will turn off), but the system will not turn off. If you want to resume cruise control operation, move the lever up (to the RES+ position). You will return to the previously set speed.
