  - higher than 3rd gear (M/T)

To set the desired speed, push up ACCEL switch or push down DECEL switch of the cruise control 

lever when the vehicle speed is in the operating range,.

Now, the vehicle is cruised by this system with the set speed. You don't need to use the accelerator 

pedal.

(3) Tap-up while the cruise control system is running

To increase the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the procedures 

below.

Push up the ACCEL switch of the cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while the 

cruise control system is running. This is a tap-up switching. When you operate a tap-up switching, the 

vehicle is accelerated for 1 km/h over the previous set speed.

If you want to accelerate for 10 km/h, operate the tap-up switching ten times without accelerating with 

the cruise control system.

3) Decelerating with the Cruise Control System

(1) While the cruise control system is running

Push down the DECEL switch of the cruise control lever and hold it until the desired speed is reached 

without a brake pedal intervention. But the cruise control system cannot maintain the cruise function at 

less than 38 km/h.

When the desired speed is reached, release the lever.

procedures below.

Push down the cruise control switch lever to DECEL side and hold it until the desired speed is 

reached while the vehicle speed is over 40 km/h.

And then release the accelerator pedal slowly.

To decrease the vehicle speed in stages while the cruise control system is running, follow the 

procedures below.

Push down the DECEL switch of the cruise control lever less than 0.5 second per one switching while 

the cruise control system is running. This is a tap-down switching. When you operate a tap-down 

switching, the vehicle is decelerated for 1 km/h below the previous set speed. 

If you want to decelerate for 10 km/h, operate the tap-down switching ten times without the brake 

pedal intervention.

4) Recovery of Set Speed (RESUME)

Even if the cruise control is cancelled, the previous set cruise speed can be recovered by pulling up the 

cruise control lever when the current vehicle speed is over 38 km/h without an acceleration intervention. 

But if you turn off the ignition switch, the memorized set speed is cleared and you cannot recover the 

previous set speed.

But the driver should know the previous set speed to react to the changed vehicle speed properly. If 

the vehicle speed increases abruptly, depress the brake pedal to adjust the vehicle speed properly.
