STARTING AND DRIVING (a) Turning the system on and off (b) Setting operation To turn the cruise control on, press the "ON−OFF" button. The "CRUISE" indicator light in the instrument cluster will come on to indicate that the cruise control is operational. Pressing the "ON−OFF" button again turns the system off. When the system is turned off, cruising speed must be reset when the cruise control is turned on again. " Each function is described below. 1 Setting the cruising speed The transmission must be in the "D" position or the shift range position must be "4" (fourth range) or "5" (fifth range) in "S" mode (with multi−mode type) before you set the cruising speed. Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever downward in the "− SET" direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. Now you may take your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you need acceleration - for example, when passing - depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. CAUTION To avoid accidentally engaging the cruise control, turn the system off when it is not in use. Make sure the "CRUISE" indicator light is off. 413
