1-4.Theft deterrent system
The indicator light flashes after
the engine switch has been
turned off to indicate that the
system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing
after the engine switch has been
turned to ACC or ON to indicate
that the system has been can-
celed.
■System maintenance
The vehicle has a mainte-
nance-free type engine immobilizer
system.
■Conditions that may cause the
system to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in
contact with a metallic object
●If the key is in close proximity to or
touching a key registered to the
security system (key with a built-in
transponder chip) of another vehi-
cle
Engine immobilizer
system
The vehicle’s keys have
built-in transponder chips
that prevent the engine from
starting if a key has not
been previously registered
in the vehicle’s on-board
computer.
Never leave the keys inside
the vehicle when you leave
the vehicle.
This system is designed to
help prevent vehicle theft
but does not guarantee
absolute security against all
vehicle thefts.

*: If equipped
Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol*
Adaptive Cruise Control is a
driving support system
intended to allow more com-
fortable driving on express-
ways, freeways and
interstate highways. The
stereo camera detects vehi-
cles in front that are driving
in the same traffic lane, and
your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front (up to the
maximum speed of the set
vehicle speed). While fol-
lowing, your vehicle will
automatically maintain a fol-
lowing distance that corre-
sponds to the speed of the
vehicle in front. The vehicle
is capable of being con-
trolled at a speed between 0
mph (0 km/h) and approxi-
mately 90 mph (145 km/h).
Please remember that you
should not exceed posted
speed limits.
WARNING
●This system does not provide
the driver with an automatic
driving function that handles all
traffic conditions.
●Do not rely excessively on
Adaptive Cruise Control. This
system is not intended to assist
in driving when the driver is not
paying full attention to what is
ahead of him/her due to distrac-
tions or a lack of concentration
while driving, or under condi-
tions of poor visibility. It is not
intended to prevent rear-end
collisions.
Strive for safe driving at all
times. Always maintain a safe
following distance behind the
vehicle in front of you, pay
attention to your surroundings
and the driving conditions, and
operate the brake pedal and
take other actions as necessary.
●When using Adaptive Cruise
Control, always set the speed
according to the speed limit,
traffic flow, road conditions, and
other conditions.
●Before using t he system, per-
form a daily inspection and ver-
ify that there are no
malfunctions of the tires or
brakes.
Refer to the separate “Owner’s
Warranty Informat ion Booklet” or
“Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment/Scheduled Maintenance
Guide”.
●When you do not want to use
Adaptive Cruise Control, be
sure to turn it off by pressing the
“ON-OFF” switch. If the switch
is left on, cruise control may be
accidentally engaged, possibly
resulting in an accident.
●Before using Adaptive Cruise
Control, be sure to fully verify
the safety of the vehicle occu-
pants and the area around the
vehicle. Never operate the
cruise control from outside the
vehicle.

Driving
WARNING
●There are limits to the situation
judgment capabilities of the
Adaptive Cruise Control system.
Deceleration may not take place
in time in the following situa-
tions. Apply the brake pedal to
decelerate the vehicle if neces-
sary.
• The speed difference with the vehicle in front is too large or
the vehicle in front decelerates
unexpectedly.
• The decelerating vehicle in front unexpectedly sl ows down or
suddenly brakes.
●If the alert/notification sounds
frequently, do not use Adaptive
Cruise Control.
●Even when the following dis-
tance is short, the “Obstacle
Detected” warning may not acti-
vate in the following situations.
• The difference in speed with the vehicle in front is small. The two
vehicles are traveling at almost
the same speed.
• The vehicle in fr ont is traveling
faster than your vehicle. The fol-
lowing distance is gradually
increasing.
• Another vehicle cuts into your lane very close to your vehicle.
• The vehicle in front decelerates suddenly.
• There are repeated uphill and downhill grades.
*: The recognition status of the
lead vehicle using the stereo
camera can be confirmed by the
illumination status of the lead
vehicle indicator. (
P.196)
NOTICE
●After Adaptive Cruise Control
has started, it maintains control
continuously according to the
behavior of the veh icle in front.
When your vehicle comes to a
stop because the vehicle in front
has stopped, the automatic
braking function will be can-
celed immediately after stop-
ping and the veh icle will start
creeping forward gradually (at
the same time 3 intermittent
beeps, 1 short beep and 1 long
beep will sound). Be sure to
depress the brake pedal and
stop the vehicle completely.
Note that the v ehicle is not
maintained at a standstill posi-
tion and will not automatically
start moving from a standstill
position.
●Braking may not be sufficient
depending on the following con-
ditions. Depress the brake
pedal and decelerate as neces-
sary.
• Vehicle conditions (amount of load, number of occupants, etc.)
• Road conditions (grade, slip- periness, shape, bumps, etc.)
• Vehicle maintenance condition (brake systems, tire wear, air
pressure, temporary spare tire
is being used, etc.)
• The brakes are cold. (For exam- ple, just after the engine is
started or the outside tempera-
ture is low.)
• For a short period of time when driving after the engine is
started until the engine has
warmed-up
• The brakes are overheated on downhill grades (braking perfor-
mance may be reduced).
