CAUTIONlIf the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the
ASTC may operate, resulting in an accident. When towing the vehicle with the front
wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the ve- hicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position or the operation mode in ACC.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-24.Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA) E00639500033
The trailer stability assist system helps safely running while towing a trailer by controllingthe braking force of each wheel and enginepower in order to stabilize the motion when
detecting the continuous sway of the vehicle
caused by a trailer.
When the trailer stability assist system oper- ates the brakes, the brake lamp turns on.
About the towing of the trailer, refer to page 6-83.CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on TSA system.
Due to the slippery road surface, heavy side
wind, inappropriate weight and positioning
of luggage, and/or driving at high speed, TSA system may fail to secure the stability.
Always drive appropriately in accordance with the condition of traffic, road surface
condition, weather, and the weight and posi- tioning of luggage.
l The trailer stability assist system does not
operate in case as follows:
• When sudden braking and braking while
driving downhill cause an abrupt motion
of the vehicle which makes the vehicle
and the trailer form a dogleg shape.CAUTION• When a sideslip occurs by sudden steer-
ing.NOTEl When TSA system operates, the vehicle
body may vibrate and the operating sounds
from the engine compartment may be heard.
These motions indicate normal operation of
the system, not abnormal operation.
l TSA system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
l When TSA system operates, the ASC opera-
tion indication lamp blinks on and off.
l When ASC does not work, TSA system does
not operate.Cruise control*
E00609102395
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more.
CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
6-63OKTE17E1Starting and driving6
CAUTIONlOn vehicles with
M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position
while driving at a set speed without depress- ing the clutch pedal. The engine will run too
fast and might be damaged.
l Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions 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 downhill slope.NOTEl 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

The set speed driving can be deactivated as
follows:
l Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch (A) (Cruise control will be turned off.)
l Press the CANCEL switch (D).
l Depress the brake pedal.
The set speed driving is deactivated automat-

ly 15 km/h (9 mph) or more below the set speed because of a hill, etc.
l When your speed slows to approximate-
ly 40 km/h (25 mph) or less.
l When the Active Stability & Traction
control (ASTC) starts operating.
Refer to “Active Stability & Traction Control (ASTC)” on page 6-59.WARNINGl On vehicles equipped with
A/T, although
the set driving speed will be deactivated
when shifting to the “N” (NEUTRAL) po- sition, never move the selector lever to the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving.
You would have no engine braking and
could cause a serious accident.
Also, the set speed driving may be deactiva-
ted as follows:
l When the engine speed rises and ap-
proaches the tachometer’s red zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer di-
al).

The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while engine power control.
CAUTIONl Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake or downshift.NOTEl If the clutch pedal
(M/T) is depressed, the
Speed Limiter does not activate.

The system automatically shifts from the
‘ON state’ to the ‘standby state’ if all of the following conditions are simultaneously met.
The LDW system ON indication lamp change to the LDW standby indication lamp
(green).
l The vehicle speed is approximately
65 km/h (40 mph) or higher.
l The turn-signal lever is not operated.
l The hazard lamp is not activated.
l The brake pedal is not depressed.
l Environmental conditions are adequate
for the system to recognize the lanemarkings on both sides.
l The system has been placed in the ‘ON
state’.NOTEl The system stays in the “ON” state for about
7 seconds after the hazard lamp has stopped
flashing or the turn-signal lever has returned to the home position.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
6-77OKTE17E1Starting and driving6
However, the vehicle may hit the truck be-cause the body of the truck strays onto the
course in reality.
l When approaching to solid objects
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance toa 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 actual distance to the projecting object. Do
not use them as a guide for distances to solid
objects.
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 thepoint C is farther off than the points A and B.Cargo loads
E00609901123
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl When loading luggage, be careful to the fol-
lowing.
• Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo area
whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to
be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the in-
strument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.Trailer towing
