Starting and driving5-45

∙ The CRUISE indicator light orindi-
cator may blink when the ON/OFF
switch is pushed on while pushing the
ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, or CANCEL
switch. To properly set the cruise con-
trol system, use the following proce-
dures.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driv-
ing under the following conditions:
∙ When it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed.
∙ In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed.
∙ On winding or hilly roads.
∙ On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
∙ In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON/OFF switch. The CRUISE indicator light
or
indicator in the instrument panel
comes on.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. Take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle
maintains the set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, drive without the
cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch.
∙ Tap the brake pedal. ∙ Push the ON/OFF switch off. The CRUISE
indicator light or
indicator in the
instrument panel goes out.
The cruise control is automatically can-
celed if:
∙ You depress the brake or clutch pedal (for Manual Transmission models) while
pushing the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST
switch. The preset speed is deleted
from memory.
∙ The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
∙ You depress the clutch pedal (for Manual Transmission models), or move
the shif t lever to N (Neutral) (for Continu-
ously Variable Transmission models).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the COAST/SET
switch.
∙ Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you
desire, release the switch.
5-46Starting and driving

∙ Push and release the ACCEL/RESswitch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
∙ Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.
∙ Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Release the switch when the vehicle
slows to the desired speed.
∙ Push and release the COAST/SET switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed decreases by about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle
returns to the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system.
To avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent ac-
cidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ICC system except in ap-
propriate road and traffic conditions. The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and di-
rection.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
A
located on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the
vehicle speed so that your vehicle follows
the vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is ap-
proximately 390 f t (120 m) ahead.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-47

Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when us-
ing the ICC system.
THE ICC SWITCH
The system is operated by the CRUISE
ON/OFF switch and four control switches,
all mounted on the steering wheel.1. CANCEL switch:
Deactivates the system without eras-
ing the set speed.
2. ACCEL/RES switch:
Resumes set speed or increases
speed incrementally. 3.
COAST/SET switch:
Sets desired cruise speed or reduces
speed incrementally.
4. DISTANCE switch:
Changes the vehicle’s following dis-
tance:
∙ Long
∙ Middle
∙ Short
5. CRUISE ON/OFF switch:
Master switch to activate the system.

Starting and driving5-51

To set cruising speed,accelerate your ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. The ICC
system set indicator (green), vehicle ahead
detection indicator, set distance indicator
and set vehicle speed indicator
Bwill
come on. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set
speed.
When the COAST/SET switch is pushed un-
der the following conditions, the system
cannot be set and the ICC indicators will
blink for approximately 2 seconds:
∙ When traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) and a vehicle ahead is not detected ∙ When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive)
or L (Low) (if so equipped) position
∙ When the parking brake is applied
∙ When the brakes are operated by the driver
When the COAST/SET switch is pushed un-
der the following conditions, the system
cannot be set.
A warning chime will sound and a message
will pop up: ∙ When the VDC system is off (To use the ICC system, turn on the VDC system.
Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch to turn
off the ICC system and reset the ICC
switch by pushing the CRUISE ON/OFF
switch again.)
For additional information about the
VDC system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” in this section.
∙ When ABS or VDC is operating
∙ When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no
longer slipping. Push the CRUISE
ON/OFF switch to turn off the ICC sys-
tem, and reset the ICC system by push-
ing the CRUISE ON/OFF switch again.)
1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle
ahead
Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.

5-52Starting and driving

3.Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds
∙ Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load
∙ Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag
∙ Recirculating the cool air in the cabin when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and Dis-
tances
∙ Observing the speed limit and not exceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where
legally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag
∙ Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces un-
necessary braking
∙ Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes
∙ Select a gear range suitable to road conditions 5.
Use Cruise Control
∙ Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady
speed
∙ Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
∙ Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save
time
7. Avoid Idling
∙ Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds
saves fuel and reduces emissions
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll
Roads
∙ Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruis-
ing speed through the toll and avoid
stopping and starting 9.
Winter Warm Up
∙ Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy
∙ Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to
effectively circulate the engine oil be-
fore driving
∙ Your vehicle will reach its ideal oper- ating temperature more quickly
while driving versus idling
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
∙ Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever pos-
sible
∙ When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C sys-
tem
11. ECO Mode
∙ The ECO mode helps to enhance the fuel economy by controlling the en-
gine and Continuously Variable
Transmission (if so equipped) opera-
tion automatically to avoid rapid ac-
celeration.
Starting and driving5-69

Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.3. Tire chains may be used. For additional information, refer to “Tire chains” in the
“Do-it-yourself ” section of this manual.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items
be carried in the vehicle during winter:
∙ A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re- move ice and snow from the windows
and wiper blades.
∙ A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack to give it firm support.
∙ A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow- drif ts.
∙ Extra washer fluid to refill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE
WARNING
∙ Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip” un-
der these conditions. Try to avoid driv-
ing on wet ice until the road is salted
or sanded.
∙ Whatever the condition, drive with caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating or down-
shif ting too fast, the drive wheels will
lose even more traction.
∙ Allow more stopping distance under these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.
∙ Allow greater following distances on slippery roads.
∙ Watch for slippery spots (glare ice). These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a patch
of ice is seen ahead, brake before
reaching it. Try not to brake while on
the ice, and avoid any sudden steering
maneuvers. ∙ Do not use the cruise control (if so
equipped) on slippery roads.
∙ Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gases under your vehicle. Keep snow
clear of the exhaust pipe and from
around your vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (if so
equipped)
Engine block heaters are used to assist
with cold temperature starting.
The engine block heater should be used
when the outside temperature is 20°F (-7°C)
or lower.
WARNING
∙ Do not use your engine block heaterwith an ungrounded electrical system
or a 2-pronged adapter. You can be
seriously injured by an electrical
shock if you use an ungrounded
connection.
∙ Disconnect and properly store the en- gine block heater cord before starting
the engine. Damage to the cord could
result in an electrical shock and can
cause serious injury.
