The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
l
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine. Restart the engine and check
whether the display/indicator goes out. If
they go out, there is no abnormal condi-
tion. If they do not go out or appear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the ve-
hicle immediately, but we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
l
If the 2WD vehicle is towed with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position and only
the front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the ASC may oper-
ate, resulting in an accident. When tow-
ing the 2WD vehicle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position. When tow-
ing the vehicle with the rear wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 6-19.
Cruise control*
E00609100623
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system
that keeps a set speed. It can be activated at about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
CAUTION
l
When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l
Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions will not allow you to stay at
the same speed, such as in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-
covered, wet, slippery, on a steep down-
hill slope.
l
On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. The engine
will run too fast and might be damaged.
NOTE
l
Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l
Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l
Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated.
