To set a speed

Press Set Acc and release. For
speed control to operate, the speed
control must be on and the vehicle
speed must be greater than 48
km/h (30 mph).

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 to reduce
your vehicle speed.
