■Cruise control can be set when
●The shift position is in D.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
●The vehicle can be accelerated by operating accelerator pedal. After accel-
erating, the set speed resumes.
● Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the
lever down to set the new speed.
■ Automatic cancelatio n of cruise control
Cruise control is automatically canceled in any of the following situations.
● Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 10 mph (16 k m/h) below
the set speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
● Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF
switch.

Power mode
Suitable for when crisp handling and enhanced accelerator
response are desired, such as when driving on mountainous roads .
When power mode is selected, the “PWR MODE” indicator will illuminate
on the main display.
Eco drive mode
Suitable for driving that impro ves fuel economy by generating

■ Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around th e vehicle’s
bumper.
● Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sens or.
● There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and disp lay. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obstacle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
● Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
● It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
