NOTE
  When the vehicle set speed is displayed in the instrument cluster, press the
RESUME/
switch to set the displayed vehicle speed.   The system is temporarily cancelled when the vehicle is accelerated by depressing the
accelerator pedal strongly, however, it resumes when the vehicle speed decreases to the
set speed or less.
  The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed on a down slope.
Temporarily Cancelling the System
The system is temporarily cancelled (stand-by status) when any of the following operations
is done while the adjustable speed limiter is displayed.
 


 OFF/CANCEL switch is pressed



 Accelerator pedal is strongly depressed
Press the RESUME/
switch to resume the operation at the previous set speed. The
adjustable speed limiter display remains displayed.
NOTE
The set speed can be set by pressing the SET switch while the system is in stand-by
status.
The adjustable speed limiter is not cancelled by depressing the brake pedal.

(Amber)/Cruise Set Indicator
Light (Green)
Type A instrument cluster
(Cruise main indication (white))
The indication turns on (white) when the
cruise control system is activated.
(Cruise set indication (green))
The indication turns on (green) when a
cruising speed has been set.
Type B instrument cluster
(Cruise main indicator light (amber))
The indicator light turns on (amber) when
the cruise control system is activated.
(Cruise set indicator light (green))
The indicator light turns on (green) when a
cruising speed has been set.
Activation/Deactivation
WARNING
Always turn off the cruise control
system when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as
the cruise control could unexpectedly
activate if the activation button is
accidentally pressed, and result in loss
of vehicle control and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched off, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition
is switched off while the cruise control
is operating, the system will be operable
when the ignition is switched ON the
next time.
Activation
With adjustable speed limiter
To activate the system, press the MODE
switch. The cruise main indicator light
(amber)/cruise main indication (white)
turns on.
NOTE
When the adjustable speed limiter is
operating after pressing the MODE
switch, press the MODE switch again to
switch to the cruise control.

To Increase Cruising Speed
Follow either of these procedures.
To increase speed using cruise control
switch
Press the RESUME/
switch and hold it.
Your vehicle will accelerate. Release the
switch at the desired speed.
Press the RESUME/
switch and release
it immediately to adjust the preset speed.

preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Increasing speed with a single
RESUME/
switch operation
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in km/h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
To increase speed using accelerator
pedal
Depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate
to the desired speed. Press the SET/
switch and release it immediately.
NOTE
Accelerate if you want to speed up
temporarily when the cruise control is
on. Greater speed will not interfere with
or change the set speed. Take your foot
off the accelerator to return to the set
speed.
To Decrease Cruising Speed
Press the SET/ switch and hold it. The
vehicle will gradually slow.
Release the switch at the desired speed.
Press the SET/
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will decrease the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Decreasing speed with a single SET/
switch operation

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Vehicle with
Conventional Tyres)
*
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tyres. If
the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tyre pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci¿ ed
tyre pressure (value on the tyre pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-143 .
The warning light À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-42 .

When Driving
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 


 A tyre pressure is adjusted.



 Tyre rotation is performed.



 A tyre or wheel is replaced.



 The battery is replaced or completely
drained.
 


 The tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and ¿ rmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tyres cool, then adjust the tyre
pressure of all four (4) tyres to the
speci¿ ed pressure indicated on the tyre
pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).
Refer to Tyres on page 9-8 .
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. Press and hold the tyre pressure
monitoring system set switch and
verify that the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning light in the instrument
clusterÀ ashes twice and a beep sound
is heard once.
CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tyre pressure, the
system cannot detect the normal tyre
pressure and it may not illuminate the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light even if a tyre pressure is low, or
it may illuminate the light even if the
pressures are normal.
Adjust the tyre pressure on all four
tyres and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason other
than a À at tyre, the tyre pressure of all
four tyres may have decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

When Driving
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Vehicle with Run-À at
Ty r e s )
*
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tyre.
If tyre pressure is too low in one or more tyres, the system will inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-42 .
Refer to Tyre InÀ ation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-53 .
The tyre pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tyre pressure data by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tyre pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tyre temperatures are also
lower. When the tyre temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tyres daily before
driving, and check tyre pressures monthly with a tyre pressure gauge. When checking tyre
pressures, use of a digital tyre pressure gauge is recommended.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of all four tyres
regularly.

Once the À exible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine
operating conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in
the instrument cluster.
Replace the engine oil and ¿ lter when message/wrench indicator light is ON. And they must be changed at least
once a year or within 20,000 km (12,500 miles) since last engine oil and ¿ lter change.
The system must be reset whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light
display.
