When driving
■Driving range
■ Average fuel consumption
■ Average fuel consumption after refueling
■ Current fuel consumption
■ Average vehicle speed Displays the estimated maximum distance that can
be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining.
• This distance is computed based on your average fuel
consumption. As a result, the actual distance that can
be driven may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
function was reset.
The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP” switch
for longer than one second when the average fuel con-
sumption is displayed.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
vehicle was last refueled.
Displays the current rate of fuel consumption.
Displays the average vehicle speed since the engine
was started or the function was reset.
The function can be reset by pushing the “DISP” switch
for longer than one second when the average vehicle
speed is displayed.

■Gear position display
Indicates the current gear , and the range of gears
that is available when the shift lever is in the D posi-
tion. The gear range is shown by the number of dots
() and the current gear is shown as a number. The
transmission automatically selects the gears within
the driver selected gear range.
In the illustration to the left, a range of 8 available gears
(1 through 8) has been selected by the driver. (The shift
lever is in the D position with 8 ranges enabled) It is
possible for the transmission to automatically select
between all 8 of the gears. In this case, the transmission
has selected third gear.
When in the M position, the “F” mark is displayed.
■Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to change.
●When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
●When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a
garage, tunnel, etc.)

CAUTION
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-
tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver's downshifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine brakin g and possibly an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.

■Adjusting the speed setting
Increase speed
Decrease speed
Hold the lever until the desired
speed setting is displayed.
Fine adjustment of the set speed
can be made by lightly pressing
the lever up or down and releas-
ing it. Adjustment can be made
in increments of approximately
1.0 mph (1.6 km/h) when in the
constant speed control mode,
and approximately 5.0 mph/5.0
km/h when in vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance control mode.
■Canceling and resuming the speed setting
Cancel
Push the lever towards you to
cancel cruise control.
The setting is also canceled
when the brakes are applied.
Resume
To resume cruise control and
return to the set speed, push the
lever up.

■Changing the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Pressing the button changes the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance as
follows:
Long
Medium
Short
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance
is automatically set to the long
mode when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is
switched to IGNITION ON
mode.
A mark will be displayed to indi-
cate the presence of the vehicle
if a vehicle is running ahead of
you.

Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the
speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer vehicles driving slower than the set speed
in the lane ahead
When the vehicle ahead of you executes a lane change, the system slowly
accelerates until the set vehicle speed is reached. The system then returns to
fixed speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via th e cruise control is not po ssible, the display will
flash and buzzer will sound to alert th e driver. An example of this would
be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle.
Apply the brakes to ensure an appr opriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warning lights, messages and buzzer s for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning lights, messages and buzzers are us ed to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. ( P. 4 6 3 )
■Switching modes
The mode cannot be switched to constant speed control mode if vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode has been used. Th e mode also cannot be switched from
constant speed control to vehicle-to-vehic le distance control mode. Turn the sys-
tem off by pressing the “ON-OFF” button, and turn it on again.
■The dynamic radar cruise can be set when
●The shift lever is in the D position. However, it cannot be set if any of the ranges 1
through 3 has been selected using the paddle shift switches.
●Vehicle speed is more than approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

: If equipped
The distance to obstacles measured by the sensors is communicated via
the multi-information display and a buzzer when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage. Always check the surrounding area when
using this system.
For vehicles equipped with a navigation system, refer to the separate
“Navigation System Owner’s Manual” for further details.
