To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. Always make sure the heads,
hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle be-
fore you close the power win-
dows. If someone’s neck, head
or hands gets caught in a clos-
ing window, it could result in a
serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, make
sure he/she operates the win-
dows safely.
When small children are in the
vehicle, never let them use the
power window switches without
supervision. Use the window lock
switch to prevent them from
making unexpected use of the
switches.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a
window. Unattended children can
be involved in serious accidents.
Never try jamming any part of your
body in a window to make the jam
protection function work intention-
ally.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.
Power quarter windows
The rear quarter windows can be oper-
ated with the ”REAR VENT” switches
on the instrument panel.
The power rear quarter windows work
when the ignition switch is in the ”ON”
position.
Both left and right rear quarter windows
move as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Push the right one of the
switches.
To close: Push the left one of the
switches.

Shift normaly
When the cruise control is being used, even if you downshift the transmis sion by turning off the overdrive switch, engine braking will not be
enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled. For ways to decrease t he vehicle speed, see ”Cruise control” in this section.

Parking brake
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-
ing power, first depress the brake pedal
and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),
press the lock release button (2), and low-
er (3).
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
Cruise control
The cruise control allows you to cruise
the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades within the limits of engine
performance, although a slight speed
change may occur when driving up or
down the grades. On steeper hills, a
greater speed change will occur so it is
better to drive without the cruise control.
When the cruise control is on, the driving
pattern of the automatic transmission is
fixed in the normal position, regardless of
the position of the driving pattern selector
switch.

CAUTION
To help maintain maximum con-
trol of your vehicle, do not use
the cruise control when driving
in heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow
–cov-
ered) or winding roads.
Avoid vehicle speed increases
when driving downhill. If the ve-
hicle speed is too fast in relation
to the cruise control set speed,
cancel the cruise control then
downshift the transmission to
use engine braking to slow
down.
TURNING ON THE SYSTEM
To operate the cruise control, push the
”CRUISE ON·OFF” switch. This turns the
system on. The indicator light in the
instrument panel shows that you can now
set the vehicle at a desired cruising
speed. Another push on the switch will
turn the system completely off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control en-
gagement, keep the ”CRUISE ON·OFF”
switch off when not using the cruise
control.
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in ”D” before
you set the cruise control speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the ”SET/COAST”
direction and release it. This sets the ve-
hicle at that speed.
If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the
lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down
for a slower speed. Each tap changes the
set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can
now take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
