AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-6
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
.
SET FUNCTION
1. During driving with the vehicle speed range from
approximately 40 to 200 km/h (25 to 125 mph),
press and release the "COAST/SET" switch.
2. The vehicle speed when the "COAST/SET" switch
is released is memorized. Thereafter, the constant
speed driving is performed at that vehicle speed.
3. When the "COAST/SET" switch is operated
during the driving with the vehicle speed of
approximately 200 km/h (125 mph) or more, the
constant speed driving will not be performed.
.
COAST FUNCTION
1. When the "COAST/SET" switch is continuously
pressed for 0.5 seconds or longer during constant
speed driving, the throttle valve becomes fully
closed while the switch is pressed, and the
vehicle is decelerated.
2. When the "COAST/SET" switch is released, the
vehicle speed at that time is now memorized.
Thereafter, the constant speed driving is
performed at that vehicle speed.
3. Also when the "COAST/SET" switch is pressed
for less than 0.5 second, the vehicle is
decelerated 1.6 km/h (1 mph) from the vehicle
speed of constant speed driving, and the
decelerated vehicle speed is now memorized.
Thereafter, the constant speed driving is
performed at that vehicle speed.
4. When the "COAST/SET" switch is continuously
pressed and the vehicle speed is decelerated to
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or less, the set
function and coast function are cancelled, and the
constant speed driving is cancelled.
.
RESUME FUNCTION
1. When the "CANCEL" switch is pressed or the
brake pedal is depressed during the constant
speed driving, it cancels the constant speed
driving.
2. Subsequently, when the "ACC/RES" switch is
pressed during driving with the vehicle speed of
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, the
constant speed driving is performed with the
vehicle speed memorized at the last cancellation
of constant speed driving.
.
ACCEL FUNCTION
1. When the "ACC/RES" switch is continuously
pressed for 0.5 second or more during constant
driving, it accelerates the vehicle with specified
acceleration while the switch is pressed.
2. Then, when the "ACC/RES" switch is released,
the vehicle speed at that time is now memorized.
Thereafter, the constant speed driving is
performed at that vehicle speed.
3. Also, when the "ACC/RES" switch is pressed for
less than 0.5 second, the vehicle is accelerated
1.6 km/h (1 mph) from the vehicle speed of
constant speed driving, and the accelerated
vehicle speed is now memorized. Thereafter, the
constant speed driving is performed at that
vehicle speed.
4. It is possible to keep pressing the "ACC/RES"
switch until the vehicle speed is accelerated to
approximately 200 km/h (125 mph) or above.
However, after the "ACC/RES" switch is released,
the vehicle speed of approximately 200 km/h (125
mph) becomes the newly memorized vehicle
speed. Thereafter, the constant speed driving is
performed at that speed.
.
CANCEL FUNCTION
When any of the following conditions are satisfied,
the constant speed driving will be cancelled.
•The auto-cruise control system is stopped by the
pressing the "ON OFF" switch.
•The "CANCEL" switch is pressed.
•The brake pedal is depressed.
•The clutch pedal is depressed .
•The selector lever is shifted to the "N" position
.
•The vehicle speed becomes approximately 40
km/h (25 mph) or less.
•The vehicle speed is reduced 15 km/h (9 mph) or
more from the speed at which the constant speed
driving was started.
•An abnormality occurs in the vehicle speed sig-
nal.
•The engine coolant temperature becomes abnor-
mally high.
•An abnormality occurs to the ECM.
•An abnormality occurs to the TCM .
•An abnormality occurs to the CAN communica-
tion.

AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-7
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
When any of the following conditions are satisfied,
the auto-cruise control system function is stopped
until the system returns to normal. Also, when any of
the conditions are satisfied during the constant
speed driving, the constant speed driving is can
-
celled immediately.
•An abnormality occurs to the auto-cruise control
switch.
•An abnormality occurs to the stoplight switch.
When any of the following conditions are satisfied,
stop the vehicle once and turn the ignition switch to
"LOCK" (OFF). Otherwise, even when the system
returns to normal, the auto-cruise control system
function will continue to be stopped. Also, when any
of the conditions are satisfied during the constant
speed driving, the constant speed driving is can
-
celled immediately.
•ECM abnormality
•TP sensor abnormality
•APP sensor abnormality
.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
•The diagnostic trouble code check is possible
with the "CRUISE" indicator light.
•To facilitate the system check, check the service
data output with the M.U.T.-III.
NOTE: For diagnostic items, service data output
items, and check method, refer to the Service Man

STEERING WHEEL
POWER STEERING37-3
CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM
STEERING WHEELM2370001000761
The steering wheel is designed to improve operabil-
ity, safety and maintainability and has the following
features:
•Newly designed Three-spoke type has been
adopted. For DE and ES, the steering wheel
made of urethane has been adopted. For GTS,
the steering wheel made of genuine leather has
been adopted.
•Audio remote control, voice control, and cruise
control switches are available on some models.
•Sporty and thick type grip shape has been
adopted.
•Rigid core metal reduces steering wheel vibra-
tion.
•It incorporates an SRS airbag to protect the driver
in the event of a frontal collision.
•The airbag module is equipped with an inflator
that does not contain sodium azide.
•Optimisation of the airbag specifications reduces
the risk of injury to the passengers in a collision.
