Select a distance from the table below. Note that the distances shown
correspond to a vehicle speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Vehicle-to-vehicle
distance increases/decreases in accordance with vehicle speed.
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the cruise control and returns
vehicle speed to the set speed.
However, cruise control does not resume when the vehicle speed is
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or less.

When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display
will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of
this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings may not occur even when the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
● When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
● When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow
speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● When depressing the accelerator pedal

■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the
brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the
accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 362) may not be activated.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
● When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the
detecting of the sensor
● When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
● Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance

■ Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake pedal (or accelera-
tor pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, the system
may not operate properly.
● When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
● When the road curves or when the lanes
are narrow
● When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed
is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily
move the lever in the desired
direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever
in the desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*1 or 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*2
each time the lever is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased continu-
ally until the lever is released.
*1: When the set speed is shown in “km/h”
*2: When the set speed is shown in “MPH”
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brake pedal or clutch
pedal (manual transmission only)
is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the constant speed control.
However, resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).

■Operating conditions
● The Stop & Start system is operational when all of the following conditions
are met:
• The windshield defogger is turned off.
• The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• The engine is adequately warmed up.
• The driver’s door is closed.
• The clutch pedal is not being depressed.
• The outside temperature is -5°C (23°F) or higher.
• The shift lever is in N.
• The hood is closed.
● In the following situations the engine may not be stopped by the Stop & Start
system. This is not a malfunction of the Stop & Start system.
• The air conditioning system is being used when the ambient temperature
is high or low.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged, such as if the vehicle has been
parked for a long time and the battery charge has decreased, the electric
load is large, the battery temperature is excessively low or the battery has
deteriorated, or is under going a periodic recharge.
• The brake booster vacuum is low.
• The steering wheel is being operated.
• Due to traffic or other circumstances the vehicle is stopped repeatedly.
• The vehicle is being driven in a high altitude area.
• Engine coolant temperature or tr ansmission fluid temperature is
extremely low or high.
• The battery fluid temperature is extremely low or high.
• For a while after the battery terminals have been disconnected and

● In the following situations, the engine will restart automatically if the engine
is stopped by the Stop & Start system. (To enable stopping of the engine by
the Stop & Start system, drive the vehicle.)
• The air conditioning system is turned on.
• The windshield defogger is turned on.
• The steering wheel is operated.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The Stop & Start cancel switch is pressed.

• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed.
• The air conditioning system is being used.
• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
■ Hood
● Even if the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start
system, the engine will stall and will not be able to be restarted by the auto-
matic engine start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal
engine starting procedure. ( P. 233, 236)
● If the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the Stop
& Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch off,
wait 30 seconds or more, and then start the engine.
