SET SPEED RANGE

ASCD system can be set the following vehicle speed.

Minimum speed (Approx.)	Maximum speed (Approx.)
40 km/h (25 MPH)	143 km/h (88 MPH)

SWITCH OPERATION

Item	Function
CANCEL switch	Cancels the cruise control driving.
RES+ switch (RESUME/ACCELERATE)	Resumes the set speed. Increases speed incrementally during cruise control driving.
SET- switch (SET/COAST)	Sets desired cruise speed. Decreases speed incrementally during cruise control driving.
ASCD MAIN switch	Master switch to activate the ASCD system. (CRUISE indicator lamp is turned ON when ASCD system is ON.)

CANCEL CONDITION

When any of following conditions exist, the cruise operation is canceled.
- CANCEL switch is pressed
- ASCD MAIN switch pressed (Set speed is cleared)
- More than two switches at ASCD steering switch are pressed at the same time (Set speed is cleared)
- Brake pedal is depressed
- Selector lever position is changed to N, P or R
- Vehicle speed decreased to 13 km/h (8 MPH) lower than the set speed
- TCS system is operated
When the ECM detects any of the following conditions, the ECM cancels the cruise operation and informs the driver by blinking CRUISE indicator lamp.
- Engine coolant temperature is slightly higher than the normal operating temperature. Then CRUISE indicator lamp is blinked slowly.
  NOTE: Engine coolant temperature decreases to the normal operating temperature, CRUISE indicator lamp stop blinking and the cruise operation is able to work.
- Malfunction for some self-diagnoses regarding ASCD system. CRUISE indicator lamp is blinked quickly.
When ASCD MAIN switch is turned to OFF during the cruise control driving, all of ASCD operations is canceled and vehicle speed memory is erased.
