When Driving
●The Low Speed Pre-Collision System will not operate if the driv er is deliber-
ately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and stee ring wheel).
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System will operate under the follo wing condi-
tions.
• The engine is running.
• The Low Speed Pre-Collision System warning light (amber) does not illu-
minate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Co nsequently,
the Low Speed Pre-Collision System may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicl e ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extreme ly low or
high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Low Speed Pre-Collision Sys tem may
not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the r ear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and e xiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers
the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water v apor rising
from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.

3-10. Active Safety System
●In the following cases, the laser sensor may inadvertently dete rmine that
there is a vehicle ahead and the Low Speed Pre-Collision System may oper-
ate.
• Objects on the road at the entrance to a curve.
• Vehicles passing in the opposite lane while making a curve.
• Metal objects, bumps, or protruding objects on the road.
• When passing through a toll gate equipped with a bar.
• When passing under a vinyl curtain or flag.
• Plastic objects such as pylons.
• Two-wheeled vehicles, pedestrians, animals or standing trees.
● Manual transaxle:
If the vehicle is stopped by the Low Speed Pre-Collision System operation
and the clutch pedal is not depressed, the engine stops.
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System warning light (amber) turns on when
the system has a malfunction.

If the Low Speed Pre-Collision
System is operating, the indicator
light (red) flashes.
WARNING
■Do not modify the suspension
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Low Sp eed Pre-Colli-
sion System not operating normally or mistakenly operating, whi ch could
cause a serious accident.
■ Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Low Speed Pre-Collision System to prevent mistaken operation
when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on P. 233.
NOTICE
●When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Low Speed Pre-Collision System be turned off.
● Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Low Speed
Pre-Collision System may not operate normally.

● The cruise control speed setting cannot be performed under the following
conditions:
• Manual transaxle: The shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Automatic transaxle: The select or lever is in the P or N position.
• The parking brake is applied.
● Release the SET/ or RES/ switch at the desired speed, otherwise the
speed will continue increasing while the RES/ switch is pressed and held,
and continue decreasing while the SET/ switch is pressed and he ld
(except when the accelerator pedal is depressed).
● On a steep grade, the vehicle may momentarily slow down while a scending,
or speed up while descending.
● The cruise control will cancel if the vehicle speed decreases b elow 13 mph
(21 km/h) when climbing a steep grade.
● The cruise control may cancel at about 9 mph (15 km/h) below th e preset

3-11. Cruise Control
If the cruise control system temporarily canceled (such as applying
the brake pedal) and the system i s still activated, the most recent set
speed will automatically resume when the RES/ switch is pressed .
If vehicle speed is below 16 mph (25 km/h), increase the vehicl e
speed up to 16 mph (25 km/h) or m ore and press the RES/ switch.
To temporarily cancel the syst em, use one of these methods:
• Slightly depress the brake pedal.
• Manual transaxle: Depress the clutch pedal.
• Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the RES/ switch is pressed w hen the vehicle speed is 16 mph (25
km/h) or higher, the system rev erts to the previously set speed .
●If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control sy stem is tempo-
rarily canceled.
• The parking brake is applied.
• Manual transaxle: The shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Automatic transaxle: The select or lever is in the P or N position.
● When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
● Automatic transaxle:
The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selec-
tor lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine brak ing will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration
is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
