N00517900240
The anti-lock braking system helps preventthe wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability andsteering wheel handling.When using the anti-lock brakes (suddenbraking), steering is slightly differentfrom normal driving conditions. Use thesteering wheel carefully.Always keep a safe distance from thevehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distancewhen:• Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads.• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system isnot restricted situations where brakes areapplied suddenly. This system may alsoprevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.When the anti-lock braking system is inuse, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat-ing and hear a unique sound. It may alsofeel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, si
mply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a devicedesigned to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance be
tween your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of
you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.NOTE
Once the brake assist system is operational,it maintains great braking force even if thebrake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal.The brake assist system may become opera-tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it
has not been depressed
suddenly.When the brake assist system is in use whiledriving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operationnoise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.You may hear an operation noise when thebrake pedal is suddenl
y or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate amalfunction and the brake assist system isoperating normally.
When the anti-lock brake system warninglight or only active st
ability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system innot functioning.

NOTE
CAUTIONThe anti-lock braking system cannot preventaccidents. It is your
responsibility to take
safety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock brakingsystem, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are thesame size and the same type.NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the enginecompartment when driving immediatelyafter starting the engine. These are the nor-mal sounds the anti-lock braking systemmakes when performing a self-check. It doesnot indicate
a malfunction.

N00518901374
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” onpage 5-106, you can re
sume the previously
set speed by push up the RES+ switch (C)while driving at a speed of about 25 mph (40km/h) or higher.The “SET” indicator appears on the informa-tion display in the meter
cluster. (For vehicles
equipped with the color liquid crystal displaymeter)Under either of the following conditions,however, using the sw
itch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In thesesituations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFFswitch is pressed.The operation mode is put in OFF.Indicator goes off.
N00576800048
ACC maintains a set speed with no need foryou to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sen-sor (A), the system also measures the relativespeed and distance between your vehicle anda vehicle in front, and maintains a set follow-ing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically deceleratingyour vehicle if it becomes too close to thevehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). Thedistance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front
decelerates, the ACC
will automatically apply limited braking tomaintain the distance, and if the front vehiclethen accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. Ifyour vehicle is approaching too close to thefront vehicle, a buzzer
will sound and a warn-
ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, theset speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise control mode without thedistance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

WA R N I N GBefore using the ACC, read this entire sec-tion to understand the limitations of thissystem. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident.Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC isnot a collision avoidance system or anautomatic driving system. It is designed touse only limited braking and is never asubstitute for your safe and careful driv-ing. Always be read
y to apply the brakes
manually.

With the ACC turned on, push down the“SET -” switch while
driving, and when your
vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activateand initiate the speed control to maintain theset speed.The set indicator comes on, the set speed isindicated and the follow
ing distance indicator
changes to the ‘active’ will sound.
You can set the speed anywhere from approx-imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180km/h).While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between a
pproximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), youcan activate the ACC. In this case, the setspeed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h).The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).

The speed of your vehicle will be maintainedat the speed you have set. The speed can beset between approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)and 110 mph (180 km/h).
N00581400039
The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will
apply the brakes auto-
matically when the system judges braking isnecessary. The distance can be selected fromthree levels.
To activate ACC control

NOTE
When any of the following conditions arepresent, the ACC will not activate. • When your vehicle speed is lower thanapproximately 6 mph (1
0 km/h) or greater
than 110 mph (180 km/h).• When your vehicle is driven at speedsbetween approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)and 25 mph (40 km/h) and the ACC is notdetecting a vehi

When the front vehicle stops, the ACC willautomatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle.A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped,the ACC will release the brakes and yourvehicle will start to move or creep slowly.You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi-cle stationary.
When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle infront, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and yourvehicle will slowly accelerate to the setspeed.
NOTE
If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multiinformation display to alert the driver, andthe ACC control will be canceled.When depressing the brake pedal while theautomatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress thebrake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.During the automatic braking, operationsounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N GNever leave the vehicle while it is beingstopped by the ACC.
WA R N I N GYour vehicle may accelerate up to the setspeed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.

The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrianstraight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehi
cle and a pedestrian in
front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-matic driving system or as a collision avoid-ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicleor a pedestrian strai
ght-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of acollision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to applythe brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision.Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding wi
th a vehicle or the
pedestrian in front, th
is function warns you of
the potential hazard with
visual and audible
alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzersounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display.The FCM will also prepare to provide quickbrake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.The forward collision
warning function oper-
ates when the following vehicle speed:Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 mph(15 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h).Against a pedestrian
: Approximately 5
mph (7 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h).
WA R N I N GBefore using the FCM, read this entiresection to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc-tions could result
in an accident.
The FCM is designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving.Under certain circumstances, the systemmay not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is
approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestri
an too closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoi
d a collision, such as
braking and
steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is
activated or not.
Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli-sion.Never attempt to test the operation of theFCM. Doing so could cause an accident,resulting in seriou
s injury or death.
