Parking your vehicle&Parking brakeTo set the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal firmly and hold it down until
the parking brake lever is fully pulled up.To release the parking brake, pull the lever
up slightly, press the release button, then
lower the lever while keeping the button
pressed.
When the parking brake is set while the
engine is running, the parking brake
warning light illuminates. After starting
the vehicle, be sure that the warning light
has turned off before the vehicle is driven.
Refer to“Brake system warning light (red)”
F3-21.
CAUTION
Never drive while the parking brake
is set because this will cause un-
necessary wear on the brake linings.
Before starting to drive, always
make sure that the parking brake
has been fully released.&Parking tipsWhen parking your vehicle, always per-
form the following items.
.Apply the parking brake firmly.
.For MT models, put the shift lever in the
“1”(1st) for upgrade or“R”(Reverse) for a
downgrade.
.For CVT models, put the select lever in
the“P”(Park) position.
Never rely on the mechanical friction of the
transmission alone to hold the vehicle.

When parking on a hill, always turn the
steering wheel. When the vehicle is
headed up the hill, the front wheels should
be turned away from the curb.When facing downhill, the front wheels
should be turned into the curb.
WARNING
.Never leave unattended children
or pets in the vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent op-
eration of the vehicle. Also, on
hot or sunny days, the tempera-
ture in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to people.
.Do not park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as
they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust sys-
tem parts.
.Be sure to stop the engine if you
take a nap in the vehicle. If engine
exhaust gas enters the passen-
ger compartment, occupants in
the vehicle could die from carbon
monoxide (CO) contained in the
exhaust gas.
CAUTION
.If your vehicle has a bumper
under guard (optional), pay atten-
tion to blocks and other obstruc-
tions on the ground when park-
ing. The underspoiler could be
damaged by contact with them.
.The braking power of the parking
brake may not be sufficient when
stronger braking power is
needed (e.g., when parking on a
steep slope while towing a trai-
ler).

WARNING
For CVT models, you can cancel the
cruise control by shifting the select
lever into the“N”position. However,
do not shift the lever into the“N”
position while driving except in case
of emergency. If the select lever is
shifted into the“N”position, the
engine brake will no longer work.
This could result in an accident.
The cruise control set indicator light in the
combination meter turns off when the
cruise control is canceled.To resume the cruise control after it has
been temporarily canceled and with vehi-
cle speed of approximately 20 mph (30
km/h) or more, press the“RES/SET”switch to the“RES”side to return to the
original cruising speed automatically.
The cruise control set indicator light in the
combination meter will automatically illu-
minate at this time.
&To turn off the cruise controlThere are two ways to turn off the cruise
control:
.Press the cruise control main button
again.
.Turn the ignition switch to the“ACC”or
“LOCK”/“OFF”position (but only when the
vehicle is completely stopped).&To change the cruising speed!To increase the speed (by the“RES/
SET”switch)
Press the“RES/SET”switch to the“RES”
side and hold it until the vehicle reaches
the desired speed. Then, release the
switch. The vehicle speed at that moment
will be memorized and treated as the new
set speed.
When setting the displayed unit as
“MPH”:
The set speed can be increased 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) each time by pressing the“RES/
SET”switch to the“RES”side.
When setting the displayed unit as
“km/h”:
The set speed can be increased 1 km/h
each time by pressing the“RES/SET”

–When running the engine and
making the wheels rotate while
lifting up the vehicle
.If the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK”/“OFF”position, the last known
status of the system is maintained. For
example, if the ignition switch is turned
to the“LOCK”/“OFF”position with the
BSD/RCTA deactivated, the BSD/RCTA
will remain deactivated the next time
the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”
position.

–Warning Message
.On a steep hill, the system’s auto-
matic braking ability will be reduced.
.The system is designed to avoid
collisions by automatic hard braking
when the vehicle’s reversing speed is
less than approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
However, the system does not guaran-
tee that the vehicle will be able to avoid
collisions in any situation.
.If the vehicle is reversed at an
extremely slow speed, the driver’s
operation may be prioritized. In this
case, automatic braking will not oper-
ate.
.The system may not be able to detect
the following objects
–Sharp or thin objects such as
poles, fences and ropes which maynot reflect the sound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor
–Objects that are too close to the
rear bumper when the select lever is
set to the“R”position
–Objects with a surface which may
not reflect the sound wave emitted
from the sonar sensor such as a
chain link fence.
.Objects the system is not designed
to detect
–Pedestrians
–Moving objects including moving
vehicles
–Objects which absorb sound
waves such as cloth or snow
–Objects whose surface has a
diagonal angle
–Objects that are low to the ground
such as parking blocks
–Objects that are high above the
ground such as objects hanging
from above

will be shown on the audio/navigation
monitor.
A warning alarm will sound and, depend-
ing on the speed, either torque control to
generate engine braking or automatic
braking will be applied.
