Driving your vehicle
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following: Push the CRUISE ON/OFF buttonon the steering wheel (the CRUISE
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will go OFF).
 Turn the ignition off.Both of these actions cancel cruise control operation. If you want toresume cruise control operation,repeat the steps provided in “To SetCruise Control Speed” on the previ-ous page.
To increase cruise control set
speed:Follow either of these procedures:
 Depress the RES/ACCEL switch and hold it. Your vehicle will acceler-
ate. Release the switch at the speed
you want.  Depress the RES/ACCEL switch
and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will increase 1.6
km/h (1mph) by one touch and will
be memorized to the reset speed.

and hold it. Your vehicle will gradu-
ally slow down. Release the switch

To resume cruising speed at
more than 24 mph (40 km/h):If any method other than the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch was used to
cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when the RES/ACCEL switch is
depressed.It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
40km/h (24 mph).

The Traction Control System (TCS)
helps the vehicle accelerate on slip-
pery road surfaces by preventing the
drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively. It also provides improved driv-
ing force and steering.
TCS operationTCS ON condition
 When the ignition is turned
ON, TCS and TCS OFF
indicator light illuminate for
approximately 3 seconds,
then TCS is turned on.
 Press the TCS button to turn TCS off. (TCS OFF
indicator will illuminate). To
turn the TCS on, press the
TCS button (TCS OFF
indicator light will go off).
 When starting the engine, you may hear a slight tick-
ing sound. This is the TCS
performing an automatic
system self-check and does
not indicate a problem.
When operating
When the TCS is in opera-
tion, TCS indicator light
blinks.
 When the traction control system is operating prop-
erly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle.
This is only the effect of
brake control and indi-
cates nothing unusual.
 When moving out of mud or driving on a slippery
road, pressing the accel-
erator pedal may not
cause the engine rpm
(revolutions per minute) to
increase.

 If the ignition switch is turned to LOCK position
when TCS is off, TCS
remains off. Upon restart-
ing the engine, the TCS will
automatically turn on
again.

the indicator light illuminates, then
goes off if TCS system is operating
normally.
The TCS indicator light blinks when-
ever TCS is operating.

WARNING
The Traction Control System is
only a driving aid; use precau-
tions for safe driving by slowing
down on curved, snowy, or icy
roads. Drive slowly and don ’t
attempt to accelerate whenever
the TCS indicator light is blink-
ing, or when the road surface is
slippery.

TCS OFF usageWhen driving It’s a good idea to keep the TCS
turned on for daily driving whenev-
er possible.
 To turn TCS off while driving, press the TCS button while driving on a
flat road surface.
Never press TCS button while TCS is
operating (TCS indicator light blinks).
If TCS is turned off while TCS is
operating, the vehicle may slip out of
control.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• When measuring the vehicle speed
with a Chassis dynamo-meter,
make sure the TCS is turned off
(TCS OFF light illuminated). If
the TCS is left on, it may prevent
the vehicle speed from increasing,
and cause a false diagnosis of a
faulty speedometer.
• Turning the TCS off does not affect ABS or brake system opera-
tion.
WARNING
Never press the TCS button
while TCS is operating.
If the TCS is turned off while
TCS is operating, the vehicle
may slip out of control.
To turn TCS off while driving,
press the TCS button while driv-
ing on a flat road surface.

Driving your vehicle
The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) monitors information from var-
ious vehicle sensors and then com-
pares the driver's commands with
the actual behavior of the vehicle. If
an unstable condition occurs - a sud-
den evasive movement for example -
ESP intervenes within fractions of a
second via the engine computer and
brake system and attempts to stabi-
lize the vehicle.
ESP operationESP ON condition
 When the ignition is turnedON, ESP and ESP OFF
indicator lights illuminate
for approximately 3 sec-
onds, then ESP is turned
on.
 Press the ESP button to turn ESP off. (ESP OFF
indicator will illuminate). To
turn the ESP on, press the
ESP button (ESP OFF
indicator light will go off).
 When starting the engine, you may hear a slight tick-
ing sound. This is the ESP
performing an automatic
system self-check and
does not indicate a prob-
lem.
When operating
When the ESP is in opera-
tion, ESP indicator light
blinks.
 When the ElectronicStability Program is oper-
ating properly, you can feel
a slight pulsation in the
vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and
indicates nothing unusual.
 When moving out of the mud or slippery road,
pressing the accelerator
pedal may not cause the
engine rpm (revolutions
per minute) to increase.
