Cruise control
*
E00609100519
Cruise control is an automatic
speed control system that keeps
a set speed. It can be activated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.NOTE●
Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills.
●
Your speed may decrease on
a steep uphill. You may use
the accelerator pedal if you want
to stay at your set speed.
●
Your speed may increase to mo
re than the set speed on a
steep downhill. You have to use the brake to control yourspeed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
CAUTION
!●
If the vehicle is towed with
the ignition switch in the
“ON” position and only the front wheels or only therear wheels raised off the
ground, the active traction
control function may operate
, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehi
cle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position. When towi
ng the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep th
e ignition switch in the
“ACC” position. Refer to “Towing” on page 6-29.
CAUTION
!●
When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
●
Do not use cruise control
when driving conditions
will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,snow-covered, wet, slipp
ery, on a steep downhill
slope.
●
On vehicles with M/T, do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position while driving at a set speed without depressing
the clutch pedal. The
engine will run too fast and might be damaged.

Operating hints●
Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/T only) and do not increase the engine speed more than necessarywhen starting.
●
Be sure that the driving speed does not exceed the 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations
in case driving speed with a tr
ailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
●
To prevent shocks from the
overrun brake, depress the
brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
●
To make full use of engine braking, change to a lower gear before descending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with an A/TThe 2nd gear (in “Sports mode”)
is recommended on slopes or
at low speed. Use the 1st gear (i
n “Sports mode”) in mountain-
ous areas in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However,
be sure that the speed does
not exceed the maximum speed
limit for the selected gear.

Fluid typeUse brake fluid conforming to
DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed
container. The brake fluid is
hygroscopic. Too much moisture
in the brake fluid will adversely
affect the brake system, reduc-
ing the brake performance.
Clutch fluid
*
E01001000193
To check the fluid levelThe clutch fluid in the master cylinder should be checked whenperforming other underhood service. In addition, the system should be checked for leakage at the same time.Check to ensure that the clutch
fluid level is always between
the “MAX” and “MIN” level mark
ings on the fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
!●
Take care in handling brake fluid as it is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and also damage painted surfaces.
●
Use only the specified brake fluid. Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals.
●
Keep the reservoir tank ca
p closed to prevent the
brake fluid from deteriorating except maintenance.
●
Clean the filler cap before
removing and close the
cap securely after maintenance.

If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indi- cates leaks from the clutch system. If this occurs, we recommend y
ou to have the vehicle checked.
Fluid typeBrake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must be full
y tightened to avoid contamina-
tion from foreign matter or moisture. DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM-BASED FLUID TO CON- TACT, MIX WITH, OR OTHERWISE CONTAMINATE THEBRAKE FLUID. SEAL DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
