i-ACTIVSENSE*
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver support
systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These
systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on the
driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each system
has its limitations, always drive carefull y and do not rely solely on the systems.

(Cruise set indication (white)/indicator
light (green))
The cruise set indication (white) is
displayed in the instrument cluster and the
cruise set indicator light (green) turns on
when a cruising speed has been set.
▼ Activation/Deactivation
To activate the system, press the ON
switch. The cruise main indication (white)
turns on.
To deactivate the system, press the OFF/
CANCEL switch.
The cruise main indi
cation (white) turns
off.
WA R N I N G
Always turn off the cruise control system
when it is not in use:
Leaving the cruise control system in an
activation-ready state while the cruise
control is not in use is dangerous as the
cruise control could unexpectedly activate
if the activation button is accidentally
pressed, and result in loss of vehicle control
and an accident.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For exampl e, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the cruise control
system operable, the system will be
operable when the ignition is switched ON
the next time.
▼ To Set Speed
1. Activate the cruise control system by
pressing the ON switch. The cruise
main indication (white) turns on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which
must be more than 25 km/h (16 mph).
3. Type A instrument cluster
Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET/
switch at the desired speed. The
cruise control is set at the moment the
SET/
switch is pressed. Release the
accelerator pedal simultaneously. The
cruise set indication (green) turns on.
Type B instrument cluster
Set the cruise control by pressing the
SET/
switch at the desired speed. The
cruise control is set at the moment the
SET/
switch is pressed. Release the
accelerator pedal simultaneously. The
cruise set indication (white) is
displayed and the cruise set indicator
light (green) turns on.
NOTE
The cruise control speed setting cannot
be performed under the following
conditions:
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
The parking brake is applied.

▼To Decrease Cruising Speed
Press the SET/ switch and hold it. The
vehicle will gradually slow.
Release the switch at the desired speed.

Press the SET/
switch and release it
immediately to adjust the preset speed.
Multiple operations will decrease the
preset speed according to the number of
times it is operated.
Decreasing speed with a single SET/
switch operation
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in km /h: 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
Instrument cluster display for vehicle
speed indicated in mph: 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
▼ To Resume Cruising Speed at More
Than 25 km/h (16 mph)
If the cruise control system temporarily
canceled (such as by applying the brake
pedal) and the system is still activated, the
most recent set speed will automatically
resume when the RESUME/
switch is
pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 km/h (16
mph), increase the vehicle speed up to 25
km/h (16 mph) or more and press the
RESUME/
switch.
▼ To Te m p o r a r i l y C a n c e l
To temporarily cancel the system, use one
of these methods:
Slightly depress the brake pedal.
(Manual transmission)
Depress the clutch pedal.
Press the OFF/CANCEL switch.
If the RESUME/
switch is pressed when
the vehicle speed is 25 km/h (16 mph) or
higher, the system reverts to the previously
set speed.
NOTE
If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled.
The parking brake is applied.
(Automatic transmission)
The selector lever is in the P or N
position.
(Manual transmission)
The shift lever is in the neutral
position.
When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be re-set.
(Automatic transmission)
The cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (selector
lever shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transmission is
shifted down to a lower gear. If
deceleration is required, lower the set
speed or depress the brake pedal.

Changing a Tire
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not done
properly. The vehicle can slip off the jack
and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion of their
body under a vehicle that is supported by a
jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in a vehicle
supported by a jack is dangerous. The
occupant could cause the vehicle to fall
resulting in serious injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
1. Park on a hard, level surface off the right-of-way and firmly set the parking
brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Reverse (R) or 1, and
turn off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Have passengers get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle and traffic.
5. Remove the jack and tool (page 7-3).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the tire to be changed. When blocking
a wheel, place a tire block both in front
and behind the tire.
NOTE
When blocking a tire, use rocks or
wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.
▼Removing a Tire
WA R N I N G
When jacking-up a vehicle, always shift the
shift lever to 1st or R (manual transmission
vehicle) or shift the selector lever to P
(automatic transmission vehicle), apply the
parking brake, and place wheel blocks in
the position diagonally opposed to the
jack:
Changing a
flat tire without using wheel
blocks is dangerous because the vehicle
may move and fall off the jack even with
the shift lever in 1st or R, or the select lever
is in P, which could result in an accident.
