Driving your vehicle
When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, the ESC indicator light
blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ESC is
active.
• When the ESC activates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator in the usual way.
• If the Cruise Control was in use
when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow.See “Cruise Control System”
later in this chapter.(if equipped)• When moving out of the mud or
driving on a slippery road, the
engine rpm (revolutions per minute)
may not increase even if you press
the accelerator pedal heavily. This
is to maintain the stability and trac-
tion of the vehicle and does not
indicate a problem.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation :
• State 1
Press the ESC OFF button briefly
(ESC OFF indicator light and mes-
sage illuminates). In this state, the
engine control function does not
operate. In other words, the traction
control function does not operate
and only the brake control function
operates.

The Cruise Control system allows
you to drive at speeds above 40
km/h without depressing the acceler-
ator pedal.During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not
shift into neutral without depress-
ing the clutch pedal, since the
engine will be overrevved. If this
happens, depress the clutch pedal
or release the cruise control ON-
OFF switch.NOTICE
CRUISE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

Driving your vehicle
Information
• During normal cruise control opera-
tion, when the SET switch is activat-
ed or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress
the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important to cancel cruise
control is in normal condition.

steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator will illu-
minate.

which must be more than 40 km/h.3. Push the lever (1) down (SET-) ,
and release it. The SET indicator
light will illuminate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.

The vehicle may slow down or speed
up slightly whilst going uphill or
downhill.
