Eco-Cool (if equipped)When driving while using the air condi-
tioner, cold air is stored in the cooling stor-
age medium of the air conditioner unit.
Since stored cold air will be blown into the
vehicle when the engine has been stopped
automatically by the ENG A-STOP system,
the rise of the inside temperature can be
reduced when the air conditioner is not
running.
For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, reducing the rise of the
inside temperature increases the length of
time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally, leading to improved fuel economy.
NOTE:
Sufficient cold air may not be stored if the
vehicle has not been running for very long
or in a traffic jam. The effect varies
depending on the outside temperature and
the air conditioner settings.
I/S AC Settings (if equipped)• When using the automatic heating andair conditioning system (if equipped),
you can select one of the following set-
tings via the setting mode of the informa-
tion display.
– Standard
– Economy
–Comfort
For details on how to use the information
display, refer to “Information display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• When “Economy” is selected, engine auto stop condition is eased, compared
with “Standard”. Engine auto stop condi-
tion will occur more f requently, the stop
time will be longer, leading to reduction
of fuel consumption.
• When “Comfort” is sel ected, engine auto
stop condition becomes severe, com-
pared with “Standard”. Engine auto stop
condition will occur less frequently, the
stop time will be shorter, leading to more
comfortable cabin condition by air condi-
tioner.
Cruise control (if equipped)The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a steady speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal. The
controls for operating the cruise control
system are on the steering wheel.
You can use the cruise control system
under the following conditions:
• For manual transaxle vehicle, the gear position is in 3rd, 4th or 5th.
• For CVT vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear position is in 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th or 7th in the manual mode
(if equipped).
• For Auto Gear Shift vehicle, the select lever is in “D” position, or the gear posi-
tion is in 3rd, 4th or 5th in the manual
mode.
• The vehicle speed is about 45 km/h (28
mph) or higher.
WA R N I N G
To help avoid loss of vehicle control,
do not use the cruise control system
when driving in heavy traffic, on slip-
pery or winding roads, or on steep
downhills.

Setting maximum speed1) Turn on the speed limiter system bypushing “LIMIT” switch (1). When the
limit indicator (4) comes on, you can set
the maximum speed.
2) Accelerate or decelerate to the desired
speed.
3) Push down the “RES +/SET –” switch (3) and turn on the set indicator (5). The
current vehicle speed is set as the max-
imum speed.
NOTE:If you push down the “RES +/SET –” switch
(3) when the vehicle speed is less than 30
km/h or 20 mph, the maximum speed will be
set to 30 km/h or 20 mph.Information display

When you push “LIMIT” switch (1), the sys-
tem is on and the limit indicator (4) will come
on. When the vehicle’s maximum speed is
set, the set indicator (5) will come on.
Exceeding maximum speedYou can exceed the maximum speed tem-
porarily by quickly depressing the acceler-
ator pedal all the way down . While the
vehicle speed is exceeded, the speed indi-
cation (6) on the information display will
flash and the buzzer will sound briefly.
If the accelerator pedal is released to
return below the maximum speed, the
speed indication (6) will stop flashing and
then stay lit, and the function will restore.
NOTE:
• When you depress the accelerator pedal slowly, the vehicl e speed may not
exceed the maximum speed. If you wish
to exceed the maximum speed, depress
the accelerator pedal all the way down
quickly or push “CANCEL” switch (2) to
cancel the maximum speed temporarily.
• The speed indication (6) will also flash
and the buzzer will sound if the speed
limiter cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the maximum speed in such
cases as when going down a steep hill,
or under excessive acceleration. In this
case, decelerate to return below the
maximum speed using the brake pedal.
Changing speed settingSetting to the current speed
1) Push “CANCEL” switch (2).
2) Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed.
3) Push down the “RES +/SET –” switch (3) and turn on the se t indicator (5). The
current vehicle speed is set as the max-
imum speed.
Using “RES +/ SET –” switch
To change to a faster speed, press repeat-
edly or hold push up the “RES +/SET –”
switch (3).
To change to a slower speed, press
repeatedly or hold push down the “RES +/
SET –” switch (3).
NOTE:
• You can adjust the set speed by 1 km/h or 1 mph by pushing “RES +/SET –”
switch (3) quickly.
• You can adjust the set speed by 5 km/h or 5 mph by pushing and holding “RES +/
SET –” switch (3)
• If the current vehicle speed exceeds the maximum speed when changing to the
slower speed using “RES +/SET –”
switch (3), the speed indication (6) will
flash and the buzzer will sound.
