To set a speed

• Press SET ACC. For speed

control to operate, the speed

control must be ON and the vehicle

speed must be greater than 48 km/h

(30 mph).
The control light in the instrument

panel will illuminate.
If you drive up or down a steep hill,

your vehicle speed may vary

momentarily slower or faster than

the set speed. This is normal.
Speed control cannot reduce the

vehicle speed if it increases above

the set speed on a downhill. If your

vehicle speed is faster than the set

speed while driving on a downhill in

overdrive, you may want to shift to

the next lower gear or apply the

brakes to reduce your vehicle

speed.
If your vehicle slows down more

than 16 km/h (10 mph) below your

set speed on an uphill, your speed

control will disengage. This is

normal. Pressing RES will

reĆengage it.

Do not use the speed

control in heavy traffic or

on roads that are winding,

slippery, or unpaved.
