■Setting the parking brake
Depress the brake pedal and
then firmly pull the parking
brake lever fully upwards with
sufficient force to hold the vehi-
cle in a stationary position.
■Releasing the parking brake

upwards, then press the
release button. While holding
the button, lower the parking
brake lever all the way down to
the released position.
NOTICE

When Driving
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)∗
For vehicles with a manual transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (HLA) oper-
ates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position
other than the reverse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
operates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse
(R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a for-
ward gear.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate on a gentle slope. In addition, the
gradient of the slope on which the system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle’s load.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate if the parking brake is applied, the
vehicle has not stopped completely, or the clutch pedal is released.
● While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is operating, the brake pedal may feel stiff
and vibrate, however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate while the TCS/DSC indicator light
is illuminated.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on P. 156.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not turn off even if the DSC OFF switch is
pressed to turn off the TCS/DSC.
∗: If equipped
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a function which assists the driver in
accelerating from a stop while on a slope. When the driver
releases the brake pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal
while on a slope, the function prevents the vehicle from rolling.
The braking force is maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.

WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for accelerating from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about two seconds and therefore,
relying only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing some-
thing. In addition, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, the vehicle could sti\
ll
roll depending on how the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

When Driving
●In the following cases, the laser sensor may inadvertently determine that
there is a vehicle ahead and the Smar t City Brake Support (SCBS) system
may operate.
• Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.
• Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.
• Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.
• When passing through a toll gate equipped with a bar.
• When passing under a vinyl curtain or flag.
• Plastic objects such as pylons.
• Two-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees.
● Manual transaxle:
If the vehicle is stopped by the SCBS operation and the clutch pedal is not
depressed, the engine stops.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) warning light (amber) turns on when
the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on P. 157.

2173-11. Cruise Control
3
When Driving
If some other method besides the OFF switch was used to cancel
cruising speed (such as applying the brake pedal) and the system is
still activated, the most recent set speed will automatically resume
when the RESUME switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 16 mph (25 km/h), increase the vehicle
speed up to 16 mph (25 km/h) or more and press the RESUME
switch.
To temporarily cancel the system, use one of these methods: • Slightly depress the brake pedal.
• Manual transaxle: Depress the clutch pedal.
• Press the CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME switch is pressed when the vehicle speed is 16 mph
(25 km/h) or higher, the system re verts to the previously set speed.
●If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control system is tempo-
rarily canceled.
• The parking brake is applied.
• Manual transaxle: The shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Automatic transaxle: The selector lever is in the P or N position.
● When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
● Automatic transaxle:
The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selec-
tor lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration
is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
To deactivate the system, press the OFF switch.
