  2. Pressing the “+ RES” switch resumes the constant speed control.
    Resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

  • Range 4 or higher of D has been selected by using the paddle shift switch. (vehicles with paddle shift switches)
  • Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed

  • The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed resumes.
  • Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pressing the “SET” switch to set the new speed.

Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following situations.

  • Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the preset vehicle speed.
  • At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
  • Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
