The vehicle in front does not turn
ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of angle.
- The outside brightness is greatly changed, such as entering/exiting
the tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
- Driving on a curve
The AEB performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The AEB
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even in the same lane. It may unnec-
essarily produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, exercise
caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal. While driving on a curve, the AEB
may recognize the vehicle in front in
the next lane. Exercise caution, and, if
necessary, depress the brake pedal.
Or, depress the accelerator pedal to
maintain the driving speed. Always,
take a look around the vehicle for
your safety.

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control
operation, when the SET switch is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after approx-
imately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.
Cruise control switch
CRUISE : Turns cruise control sys-
tem on or off.
CANCEL: Cancels cruise control
operation.
RES+: Resumes or increases cruise control speed.
SET-: Sets or decreases cruise con- trol speed.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING- Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

Driving your vehicle
To set cruise control speed:
1.Press the CRUISE button on thesteering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2.Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 30 km/h
(20 mph).
✽ ✽ NOTICE- Manual transaxle
For manual transaxle vehicles, you
should depress the brake pedal at
least once to set the cruise control
after starting the engine.
3.Move the lever down (to SET-), and
release it at the desired speed. The
SET indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate.
Release the accelerator pedal at
the same time. The desired speed
will automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing uphill or downhill.

Driving your vehicle
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Depress the clutch pedal with amanual transaxle.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto- matic transaxle.
Press the CANCEL button.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the memory speed by 15
km/h (9 mph).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (the SETindicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move up thelever (to RES+) located on yoursteering wheel. You will return to yourpreviously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 40
km/h (25 mph):
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when you
move the lever up (to RES+).
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).

When Active ECO is activated:
The acceleration may slightly be
reduced even though you depress
the accelerator fully.
The air conditioner performance may be limited
The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active Eco
System is activated to improve fuel
efficiency. Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.
When using manual mode: The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.SPORT mode

The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects lane markers on the road,
and assists the driver’s steering to
help keep the vehicle between lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
The steering wheel is not continu-
ously controlled so if the vehicle
speed is very fast when leaving a
lane the vehicle may not be con-
trolled by the system.
It is the responsibility of the driver to drive safely.
Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the steering wheel
is being assisted by the system.
LKAS prevents the driver from moving out of the lane unintention-
ally by assisting the driver's steer-
ing. However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always pay attention on the steer-
ing wheel to stay in the lane.
Always check the road condition and surroundings and be cautious
when the system cancels, does not
operate or malfunctions.
Do not place any accessories, stickers or tint the windshield near
the rearview mirror.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING- LKAS
Limitations
The LKAS is a supplemental
system and should not be solely
relied upon by the driver. Do not
attempt sudden steering maneu-
vers while the LKAS is activated.
If the vehicle is driven at high
speeds, the LKAS may not
adjust the steering wheel. It is
the driver's responsibility to
always pay attention to the road
and maintain control over the
steering wheel while driving.

Driving your vehicle
The system detects lane markersand controls the steering wheel by
a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect, the
system may not work properly.
Please refer to "Driver's Attention".
Do not remove any LKAS parts or apply impact.
Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. The sys-
tem may malfunction if the sunlight
is reflected.
Loud audio sounds may interfere with the passenger from hearing
warning chimes.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the LKAS sys-
tem is activated. If you continue to
drive with your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Hand on" warning,
the system will not control steering
automatically. When system does
not control steering automatically, if
you hold steering wheel, system will
control steering automatically
If you drive very fast, the vehicle may stray out of the lane. Always be
cautious when using the system.LKAS operation
To turn on the LKAS, push the but-ton with the ignition switch in the
ON position.
The LKAS indicator (green) will illu- minate.
To turn off the system, press the button again. The indicator turns off. LKAS indicator
