CAUTION
l
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park
your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
display/indicator goes out. If they go out,
there is no abnormal condition. If they do
not go out or appear frequently, it is not
necessary to stop the vehicle immediately,
but we recommend you to have your vehi-
cle inspected.
Towing E00624400050CAUTION
l
When
towing the vehicle with only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, do not place the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position or do
not put the operation mode in ON. Plac-
ing the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion or putting the operation mode in ON
could cause the ASC to operate, resulting
in an accident.
Note that the correct towing method de-
pends on the transmission type and the ve-
hicle’s drive configuration.
For details, refer to “Towing” on page
6-18. Cruise control*
E00609101008
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. CAUTION
l
When
you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l 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, slippery, on a steep down-
hill slope.
l On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. The engine
will run too fast and might be damaged.
NOTE l Cruise

control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated. Cruise control switches
A- “ON OFF” switch
Used to turn on and off the cruise control.

B- “COAST SET” switch

l “CRUISE” indication lamp is turned OFF. Reversing sensor system*
E00615500345
This
system operates when you are backing the ve-
hicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an
obstacle and the information screen in the multi-in-
formation display and the buzzer to inform you of
the approximate distance to the obstacle. CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween

the vehicle and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in
terms of detectable areas and objects,
and may not properly detect some ob-
jects. Therefore, do not place excessive
confidence in the reversing sensor system
and operate the vehicle as carefully as
you would do with a vehicle not equipped
with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings
with your own eyes to ensure safety. Do
not operate the vehicle by relying on the
reversing sensor system alone.
Obstacle detection areas E00615600346
The detection areas of the corner and back sensors
are

limited to those shown in the illustration. More-
over, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin ob-
jects or objects near the rear bumper. Thus, make
sure to check the surroundings as you operate the
vehicle in a safe manner. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system may not op-
erate properly under the following condi-
tions: • The sensors or surroundings are cov-ered with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other sources (the horns of other
vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes,
radios, pouring rain, splashing water,
tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long
period of time under a blazing sun or
in cold weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped by hand, or stickers or ac-
cessories have been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not prop-
erly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wirenets or ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerb- stones. NOTE
l The

buzzer may sound lower than the normal
warning sound when the reversing sensor sys-
tem is receiving ultrasonic noise from other
sources, but this is not a malfunction. The buz-
zer will stop sounding and the system will re-
turn to normal operation after the noise is no
longer received.
To operate E00615700738
To operate the system, move the gearshift lever or
selector

lever to the “R” position while the ignition
switch or the operation mode is in ON. When the
reversing sensor system is operated, the reversing
sensor system operation indication lamp (A) will
turn on. To stop the operation, push the “SONAR”
switch; the reversing sensor system operation indi-
cation lamp (A) is turned off. NOTE
l Only

when the gearshift lever or selector lev-
er is in the “R” position, the reversing sensor
system can be operated or be stopped by us-
ing the “SONAR” switch.
Warning for obstacles
If there is an obstacle behind the vehicle, a warning
will be issued with the information screen in the
multi-information display and a warning buzzer.

NOTE l When

the sensors detect different obstacles
at the same time, the information screen in
the multi-information display indicates the di-
rections of the obstacles each sensor is detect-
ing. However, closer obstacles are given pri-
ority over other detected obstacles and the
warning buzzer sounds to inform you of clos-
er obstacles. Changing the detection areas
E00615800159
The detection areas can be changed as follows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While

the operation of the system is stopped at the
“SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR” switch ap-
proximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The
buzzer sounds twice to indicate that the detection
area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped at the
“SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR” switch ap-
proximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The
buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection
area has been changed.
NOTE
l The detection area will not change if you
keep the “SONAR” switch pushed for
10 seconds or more.
l After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord-
ing to the detection area setting.
• Setting when towing bar is not equippedWhen the gearshift lever or selector lever
is moved to the “R” position, the revers-
ing sensor system will operate even if cor-
ner sensor operation was stopped by push-
ing the “SONAR” switch. • Setting when towing bar is equipped
When reversing sensor system operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch, the reversing sensor system will
not operate until the engine has been stop-
ped even if the gearshift lever or selector
lever is moved to the “R” position.
To resume reversing sensor system opera-
tion, push the “SONAR” switch or stop
and restart the engine, and then move the
gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R”
position.

l
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface.
This may make the distance to a projecting
object shown on the screen differ from the ac-
tual distance to the projecting object. Do not
use them as a guide for distances to solid ob-
jects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The points A and B actually are
the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the points A and B.
