*: If equipped
*1: To improve fuel efficiency and
reduce noise, shift the shift lever to D
for normal driving.
*2: Except for M15A-FKS engine
*3: For M15A-FKS engine
■If “Transmission Oil Temp. High
Stop in a Safe Place and See Owner’s Manual” is displayed on
the multi-information display (for
M15A-FKS engine)
Reduce speed by easing off the acceler-
ator pedal. Stop the vehicle in a safe

engine braking, engine braking will not
occur because cruise control, dynamic radar cruise control or dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range will
not be canceled. ( P.314)
