OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
Cancelling cruise control
Braking
“SET” indicator light (5) will go off and the
cruise control will be canceled temporarily
with the following conditions:
If water gets into the brake devices,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the under-
side of the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see if
they have maintained their normal
effectiveness. If the brakes are less
effective than normal, dry them by
repeatedly applying the brakes while
driving slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effectiveness.
• Push “CANCEL” switch (2).
• Depress the brake pedal.
• The gear position is changed to “L”
• The vehicle speed falls more than about
20 percent from the set speed.
• Any time the vehicle speed falls below
40 km/h (25 mph).
®
• When the vehicle skids and ESP is
activated.
To resume the previously set speed, push
up the “RES +/SET –” switch (3) and turn
on “SET” indicator light (5). The vehicle
speed must be above 40 km/h (25 mph)
when the vehicle is not under the above
conditions.
Power-assisted brakes
60G165S
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If
power assistance is lost due to a stalled
engine or other failures, the system is still
fully operational on reserve power and you
can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
pressing the brake pedal once and holding
it down. The reserve power is partly used
up when you depress the brake pedal and
reduces each time the pedal is pressed.
Apply smooth and even pressure to the
pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be
approximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19
mph). Start to depress the brake pedal
when there is plenty of distance between
your vehicle and the stopping point, and
slow down gradually.
To turn off the cruise control system, push
cruise switch (1) and check that the cruise
indicator light (4) is off.
Also, if the malfunction indicator light in the
instrument cluster comes on or blinks, the
cruise control system will be turned off.
NOTE:
If you turn off the cruise control system, the
previously set speed in the memory is
cleared. Reset your cruising speed again.
