When Driving

To Temporarily Cancel

~1min read

To temporarily cancel the system, use one of these methods:

  • Slightly depress the brake pedal.
  • (Manual transaxle)

    Depress the clutch pedal.

  • Press the OFF/CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME/

switch is
pressed when the vehicle speed is 25 km/h or higher, the system reverts to the previously set speed.

NOTE

  • If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control system is temporarily canceled.
    • The parking brake is applied.
    • (Automatic transaxle)

      The selector lever is in the P or N position.

    • (Manual transaxle)

      The shift lever is in the neutral position.

  • When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
  • (Automatic transaxle)

    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.
