Part name Description
AV CONTROL UNIT • Integrates HDD (hard disk
drive) allowing map data and music data to be
stored.
• It is the master unit of the MULTI AV system, and it is connected to each control unit by means of communication. It operates each system according to com-
munication signals from the AV control unit.
• The AV control unit includes the audio, hands-free phone, voice control, navi- gation, and vehicle information functions.
• It is connected to ECM and combination meter via CAN communication to ob-
tain necessary information for the vehicle information function.
• It inputs the automatic brightness ON/OFF signals that are required for the dis- play dimming control.
• It inputs the signals for driving status recognition (vehicle speed, reverse and
parking brake).

BRAKE FLUID
On Board InspectionINFOID:0000000005147901
LEVEL CHECK
• Make sure the fluid level in reservoir tank is between MAX and MIN lines as shown.
• Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leaks.
• If brake warning lamp remains illuminated after parking brake pedal is released, check brake system for fluid leaks.
Drain and RefillINFOID:0000000005147902
CAUTION:
• Refill with new brake fluid. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not let brake fluid splash on the painted surfaces of the body. This might damage the paint, so if
splashing it, immediately wipe off the area and wash away with water.
• Before servicing, disconnect ABS actuator and electri c unit (control unit) connector or battery nega-
tive terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to each bleed valve.
2. Depress brake pedal, loosen each bleed valve, and gradually remove brake fluid.
3. Make sure there is no foreign material in reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
4. Rest foot on brake pedal. Loosen bleed valve. Slowly depress pedal until it stops. Tighten bleed valve. Release brake pedal.
Repeat this process a few times, then pause to add new brake
fluid to master cylinder. Continue until new brake fluid flows out
of the bleed valve.
Bleed the air out of the brake hydraulic system. Refer to BR-17,
"Bleeding Brake System".
Bleeding Brake SystemINFOID:0000000005147903
CAUTION:
While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or battery
negative terminal.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.

FUNCTION
CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE
Operation Procedure
1. Before performing the self-diagnosis, start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for
approximately 1 minute.
How to Erase Self-diagnosis Results
1. After erasing DTC memory, start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute as the final inspection, and make sure t hat the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp,
SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp turn OFF.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, perform applicable diagnosis.
NOTE:
• When the wheel sensor malfunctions, after inspecting the wheel sensor system, the ABS warning lamp,
VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp will not turn OFF even when the
system is normal unless the vehicle is driving at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approxi-
mately 1 minute.
• Brake warning lamp will turn ON in case of parking brake operation (when switch is ON) or of brake fluid level switch operation (when brake fluid is insufficient).
• VDC OFF switch should not stay “ON” position.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
Check the self-diagnosis results.
Is above displayed on the self-diagnosis display?
YES >> Proceed to diagnosis procedure. Refer to BRC-39, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> Inspection End
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005147987
Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to BRC-92, "Wiring Diagram - BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM -".
CAUTION:
• Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. when VDC function is OFF may
cause the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system to indi cate a malfunction. This is not a malfunction if
normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.
• If vehicle is on turn table at entrance to parking garage, or on other moving surface, VDC OFF indica- tor lamp may illuminate and CONSULT-III self-dia gnosis may indicate yaw rate sensor system mal-
function. However, in this case there is no malfunc tion in yaw rate sensor system. Take vehicle off of
turn table or other moving surface, and st art engine. Results will return to normal.
1.CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1. Disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector and yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connector.
2. Check the terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.

PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Intelligent Cruise Control is functionally limited. This never support careless driving and low visibility (rain,
fog, etc.). Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe distance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed
according to the driving condition etc.
• Intelligent Cruise Control never stop the vehicle automatically. Intelligent Cruise Control is automatically released, and the buzzer sounds if any vehicle ahead is not detected when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 35 km (21.5 MPH) or less.
• Use this system when the vehicle speed does not ex tremely change. This system may not properly function
when any vehicle cuts in, or when the vehicle ahead suddenly applies the brake. Then, the warning (buzzer
and indication) activates.
• Never use Intelligent Cruise Control in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- The vehicle drives in bad whether (rain, fog, snow etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if the whether condition is bad. Intelligent
Cruise Control is released automatically if the wiper activates in low or high speed.
- The vehicle receives bright light (sunshine etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if bright light enters in the vehicle.
- Raindrop or snow is on the sensor.
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected precisely if raindrop or snow attaches on the sensor.
- A steep downhill The setting vehicle speed may exceed if Intelligent Cr uise Control does not detect the vehicle ahead. The
brake may heat up in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
- A repeated uphill and downhill Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle ahead precisely. An accident may occur by tailgating.
- Maintaining proper vehicle distance is diff icult due to frequent acceleration/deceleration.
It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition if keeping a proper vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is difficult.
- When entering in the highway interchange (swerving off the main line),
Unexpected accident may cause if the vehicle ahead drives slower
than the preset vehicle speed. The vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode accelerates automatically because the vehicle ahead is
not detected on the lane if the own vehicle or the vehicle ahead
changes the lane.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the parking vehicles, and vehicles driving extremely slower than the own vehicle. Never
hit the vehicle stopping at a tollgate, or the tail end of traffic jam.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the vehicle edging way, and non-vehicle objects (passengers etc.).
• This function detects the reflector of the vehicle ahead. Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle
ahead, and keep a proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in the following conditions. Drive the vehicle according
to the driving condition.
- The vehicle ahead installs the reflector higher (trailer etc.).
- The rear of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirt.
- The vehicle ahead or vehicle on other lanes splashes water or snow on the road.
- The vehicle ahead provides dark exhaust gas. Smoke blocks the visibility.
- The vehicle ahead attaches film on the reflector. The vehicle ahead does not install the reflector. The reflec- tor is broken.
