 Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situati
ons where brakes are
applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique
sound. It may also
feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reduced braking performance.

Warning light Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on and the warning display will appearon the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display. Under normal conditions, the anti-lock brak-ing system warning light only comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operati
on mode is put in ON
and goes off a few seconds later.

 Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Test the system by restarting the engineand driving at a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher. If the warning light / display then remainsoff during driving, there is no abnormal condition.
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to takesafety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
 A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when driving immediately after starting the engine. These are the nor-mal sounds the anti-lock braking system makes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a malfunction.
 The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has
reached a speed over
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stopsworking when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).

The speed of your vehicle will be maintained at 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 from
three levels.
When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply th
e brakes to stop your
vehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped,the ACC will release the brakes and your vehicle 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 in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the set speed.
• When an abnormality in the ACC system has been detected.
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 automatically
apply the brake to maintain the vehicle set speed.

NOTE
NOTE
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your ve
hicle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warning buzzer will sound,the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control wi
ll be canceled.
 When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.  During the automatic braking, operation sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.

and the FCM judges that th
ere is the risk of a
collision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically apply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, the system will apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or
reduce the crash
speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may 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 pedestrian too
closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid 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 the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in seriou
s injury or death.

If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or thepedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard wi
th visual and audible
alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the
information screen of
the multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quickbrake response and greater brake force when you 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 If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-100. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released.Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector le
ver is in the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other
than a vehicle or a
pedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front
of your vehicle.
The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit-uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some ofthese include:• When a vehicle sudden
ly appears just in
front of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts
