PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Intelligent Cruise Control is functionally limited. This never support careless driving and low visibility (rain,fog, etc.). Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe di stance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed
according to the driving condition etc.
• Intelligent Cruise Control never stop the vehicle autom atically. Intelligent Cruise Control is automatically
released, and the buzzer sounds if any vehicle ahead is not detected when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 35 km (21.5 MPH) or less.
• Use this system when the vehicle speed does not extr emely change. This system may not properly function
when any vehicle cuts in, or when the vehicle ahead s uddenly applies the brake. Then, the warning (buzzer
and indication) activates.
• Never use Intelligent Cruise Control in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the dr iving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- The vehicle drives in bad whet her (rain, fog, snow etc.).
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if the whether condition is bad. Intelligent
Cruise Control is released automatically if the wiper activates in low or high speed.
- The vehicle receives bright light (sunshine etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if bright light enters in the vehicle.
- Raindrop or snow is on the sensor.
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected prec isely if raindrop or snow attaches on the sensor.
- A steep downhill The setting vehicle speed may exceed if Intelligent Cruise Control does not detect the vehicle ahead. The
brake may heat up in the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode.
- A repeated uphill and downhill Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicl e ahead precisely. An accident may occur by tailgating.
- Maintaining proper vehicle distance is difficult due to frequent acceleration/deceleration. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition if keeping a proper vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is difficult.
- When entering in the highway interchange (swerving off the main line),
Unexpected accident may cause if the vehicle ahead drives slower
than the preset vehicle speed. T he vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode accelerates automatically because the vehicle ahead is
not detected on the lane if the own vehicle or the vehicle ahead
changes the lane.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the parking vehicles, and vehicles driving extremely slow er than the own vehicle. Never
hit the vehicle stopping at a tollgate, or the tail end of traffic jam.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the vehicle edging way, and non-vehicle objects (passengers etc.).
• This function detects the reflector of the vehicle ahead. Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle
ahead, and keep a proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in t he following conditions. Drive the vehicle according
to the driving condition.
- The vehicle ahead installs the reflector higher (trailer etc.).
- The rear of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirt.
- The vehicle ahead or vehicle on other lanes splashes water or snow on the road.
- The vehicle ahead provides dark exhaust gas. Smoke blocks the visibility.
- The vehicle ahead attaches film on the reflector. The v ehicle ahead does not install the reflector. The reflec-
tor is broken.
- Extremely heavy load is on the rear seat or in the cargo area.
- The vehicle drives on a repeated uphill and downhill

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001351227
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: This sensor is not used to control the engine system. This is used only for the on board diagnosis.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*3: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is
determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). T he amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from both the crankshaft position sensor and the mass air
flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION I NCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.
• During warm-up
• When starting the engine
• During acceleration
• Hot-engine operation
• When selector lever is changed from N to D
• High-load, high-speed operation

• During deceleration
• During high engine speed operation

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD)
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001351238
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line
BASIC ASCD SYSTEM
Refer to Owner's Manual for ASCD operating instructions.
Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) allows a driver to keep vehicle at predetermined constant speed
without depressing accelerator pedal. Driver can set
vehicle speed in advance between approximately 40 km/
h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
ECM controls throttle angle of electric thro ttle control actuator to regulate engine speed.
Operation status of ASCD is indicated by CRUISE i ndicator and SET indicator in combination meter. If any
malfunction occurs in ASCD system, it automatically deactivates control.
NOTE:
Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.
SET OPERATION
Press MAIN switch. (The CRUISE indicato r in combination meter illuminates.)
When vehicle speed reaches a desired speed between approximately 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89
MPH), press SET/COAST switch. (Then SET indicator in combination meter illuminates.)
ACCELERATE OPERATION
If the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pressed during cr uise control driving, increase the vehicle speed until
the switch is released or vehicle speed reac hes maximum speed controlled by the system.
And then ASCD will keep the new set speed.
CANCEL OPERATION
When any of following conditions exis t, cruise operation will be canceled.
• CANCEL switch is pressed
• More than 2 switches at ASCD steer ing switch are pressed at the same time (Set speed will be cleared)
• Brake pedal is depressed
• Selector lever is changed to N, P, R position
• Vehicle speed decreased to 13 km/h (8 MPH) lower than the set speed
• VDC system is operated
When the ECM detects any of the following conditions, the ECM will cancel the cruise operation and inform
the driver by blinking indicator lamp.
• Engine coolant temperature is slightly higher than the normal operating temperature, CRUISE lamp may
blink slowly.
When the engine coolant temperature decreases to t he normal operating temperature, CRUISE lamp will
stop blinking and the cruise operation will be able to work by pressing SET/COAST switch or RESUME/
ACCELERATE switch.
• Malfunction for some self-diagnoses regarding ASCD control: SET lamp will blink quickly.
If MAIN switch is turned to OFF during ASCD is activated, all of ASCD operations will be canceled and vehicle
speed memory will be erased.
COAST OPERATION
When the SET/COAST switch is pressed during cruise control driving, decrease vehicle set speed until the
switch is released. And then ASCD will keep the new set speed.

Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000001351446
The intake air temperature sensor is
built into mass air flow sensor.
The sensor detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to
the ECM.
The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to
the change in temperature. Electrical resistance of the thermistor
decreases in response to the temperature rise.

*: This data is reference value and is measured between ECM terminal 34 (Intake air
temperature sensor) and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output
voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's transistor.
Use a ground other than ECM te rminals, such as the ground.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000001351580
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*1: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. The opening of the vapor by-pass pas-
sage in the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoi d valve changes to control the flow rate. The EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve repeats ON/OFF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engi ne control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is
determined by considering various engine conditions. When t he engine is operating, the flow rate of fuel vapor
from the EVAP canister is regulated as the air flow changes.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a ON/
OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is
moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON pulse,
the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the valve.
