ignition button has been turned OFF,
the electronic parking brake will be
engaged automatically. Therefore,
AUTO HOLD function should be
turned off before the ignition button is
turned off. D (Drive)
This is the normal forward driving
position. The transaxle will automati-
cally shift through a 6-gear
sequence, providing the best fuel
economy and power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or climbing grades,
depress the accelerator fully, at
which time the transaxle will auto-
matically downshift to the next lower
gear.

Whether the vehicle is stationary or
in motion, manual mode is selected
by pushing the shift lever from the D

vehicle to maintain the set distance
is normal
Fast: Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is faster than normal speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The system remembers the last
selected mode.
To convert to cruise control
mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows: 1.Turn the ASCC on (the cruise indi-
cator light will be on but the system
will not be activated).
2.Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3.Choose between "Smart cruise control (SCC) mode" and "Cruise
control (CC) mode".
4.Speed setting is equal to the advanced smart cruise control
operation method. However, when
it is turned off by the CRUISE
switch or the CRUISE switch is
operated after the engine is
restarted, it automatically returns
to the advanced smart cruise con-
trol system.
When using the cruise control mode,
you must manually assess the dis-
tance to other vehicles as the system
will not automatically brake to slow
down for other vehicles.
