Changing the set speed
Keep in mind that it may take a brief
moment until the vehicle has made the nec-
essary adjustments.
Increase or decrease the set vehicle speed
to a value that the prevailing road condi-
tions and legal speed limits permit. Other-
wise, sudden and unexpected acceleration
or deceleration of the vehicle could cause
an accident and/or serious injury to you
and others.
When you use the cruise control lever to
decelerate, the brake system will automati-
cally brake the vehicle if the engine’s braking
power does not brake the vehicle sufficiently.
