(7) Speed indication
When you push “LIMIT” switch (1), the sys-
tem is on and the limit indicator (5) will
come on. When the vehicle’s maximum
speed is set, the set indicator (6) will come
on.
Exceeding maximum speed
You can exceed the maximum speed tem-
porarily by quickly depressing the acceler-
ator pedal all the way down. While the
vehicle speed is exceeded, the speed indi-
cation (7) on the information display will
flash and the buzzer will sound briefly.
If the accelerator pedal is released to
return below the maximum speed, the
speed indication (7) will stop flashing and
then stay lit, and the function will restore.
NOTE:
• When you depress the accelerator pedal
slowly, the vehicle speed may not
exceed the maximum speed. If you wish
to exceed the maximum speed, depress
the accelerator pedal all the way down
quickly or push “CANCEL” switch (2) to
cancel the maximum speed temporarily.
• The speed indication (7) will also flash
and the buzzer will sound if the speed
limiter cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the maximum speed in such
cases as when going down a steep hill,
or under excessive acceleration. In this
case, decelerate to return below the
maximum speed using the brake pedal.
Changing speed setting
Setting to the current speed
1) Push “CANCEL” switch (2).
2) Accelerate or decelerate to the desired
speed.
3) Push “SET –” switch (4) and turn on the
set indicator (6). The current vehicle
speed is set as the maximum speed.
Using “RES +” switch or “SET –” switch
To change to a faster speed, press repeat-
edly or hold push “RES +” switch (3).
To change to a slower speed, press
repeatedly or hold push “SET –” switch
(4).
NOTE:
• You can adjust the set speed by 1 km/h
or 1 mph by pushing “RES +” switch (3)
or “SET –” switch (4) quickly.
• You can adjust the set speed by 5 km/h or
5 mph by pushing and holding “RES +”
switch (3) or “SET –” switch (4).
• If the current vehicle speed exceeds the
maximum speed when changing to the
slower speed using “RES +” switch (3) or
“SET –” switch (4), the speed indication
(7) will flash and the buzzer will sound.

NOTE:
If you turn off the speed limiter system, the
previously set speed in the memory is
cleared. Set your speed again.
Radar brake support system
(if equipped)
Radar brake support system measures the
relative velocity of, and distance from, the
vehicle in front of you by radar and then
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing and, in the event of a crash, attempts to
reduce damage through brake control.
WA R N I N G
• Radar brake support system has
limits and may not function prop-
erly depending on the driving con-
ditions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check
the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten
their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• On the following surfaces, you may
not be able to decelerate even with
the warning brake system, the
brake assist system and automatic
brake system functioning.
– On sharp curves or extremely
rough surfaces
– On the following slippery sur-
faces
• Frozen or snow-covered sur-
faces
• Over manholes or metal con-
struction plates
• Gravel
• In the following situations, the tilt
and/or height of the vehicle is
changed, the system does not
function properly and unexpected
accidents may occur.
– With a modified suspension
(Altering the vehicle height, etc.)
– With non-specified sized tires
equipped
– With worn or extremely uneven
tires equipped
– With low or high tire pressure

NOTE:
• While the system is working, if a vehicle
in front of you moves outside of the
radar’s detection field or the vehicle can
no longer be detected, the system may
stop functioning.
• While the system is working, a braking
sound may be heard even if you do not
depress the brake pedal, but this is nor-
mal.
The radar brake support system, model
MRR1Plus is in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.Frontal collision warning

Warning brake system
If the driver cannot take or is insufficient to take evasive action such as brake operation
and steering operation after frontal collision warning activates, the system applies brake
lightly.
54P000360
NOTE:
When you operate brake after frontal collision warning activates, the warning brake sys-
tem does not activate. Brake assist system will activate in this case.
CAUTION
In the following conditions, this warning brake system may not activate.
• When another vehicle is already parked on a road in the direction of move-
ment.
• When a vehicle ahead is changing lane and only a part of the vehicle is within
the radar sensor range.

(#1) After the vehicle has been stopped by the automatic brake system, flashing of the
radar brake support system warning light and frontal collision warning will continue
until the brake system is released.
NOTE:
If you do not depress the clutch pedal when the vehicle has been stopped by the auto-
matic brake system, the engine will stall.
