N00541301091
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance, andvehicle stability over a wide range of driving
conditions through integrated management of the electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC (Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC. The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of driving torque withoperating the electronic control coupling arranged in the rear differential assembly.
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be a malfunction in theCVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans- mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-63.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys- tem, like any other system, has limits andcannot help you to maintain traction and con- trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck- less driving can lead to accidents. It is thedriver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.

N00581300038
The speed of your vehicle will be maintained at the speed you have set. The speed can be set between approximately 20 to 110 mph (30 to 180 km/h).
N00581400042
The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto- matically when the system judges braking is necessary. The distance can be selected fromfour levels. When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle. After the vehicle stops, the ACC system auto- matically enters the stationary vehicle holdstate. “HOLD” appears. While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, if it is possible to resume following the vehicle in front because it has started moving, “ACC READY TORESUME” will appear on the information screen of the multi-information display. To start moving again, press the “RES+” switchor depress the accelerator pedal.
• While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated. • When the selector lever is in positions other than “D” (DRIVE). • While the brake pedal is depressed (only while the vehicle is moving). • While the parking brake is applied. • When the ACC system has judged that the performance for detecting a front vehicle is degraded. • When an abnormality in the ACC system has been detected. • When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened. • When the driver’s door is opened.• When the vehicle is stopped on a steep slope.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automaticallyapply the brake to maintain the vehicle set speed.NOTE
