Cruise control enables you to maintain a
constant vehicle speed without holding
your foot on the accelerator pedal and it is
operative when the vehicle speed is 20
mph (30 km/h) or more.

any of the following conditions.
These may cause loss of vehicle
control.
- Driving up or down a steep grade
- Driving on slippery or winding
roads
- Driving in heavy traffic
- Towing a trailer
When using the cruise control, always
set the speed appropriately
according to the speed limit, traffic
flow, road conditions, and other
conditions.
NOTE
Make sure the cruise control system is
turned off when the cruise control is not
in use to avoid unintentionally setting
of the cruise control.

Other information:
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
In most lesser side impacts
In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover...
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
name is used because the airbag system
supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental
restraint system which consists of
seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags
Driver’s and front passenger’s side
airbags
Curtain airbags (for driver, front passenger,
and window-side rear passengers)
Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt...
