■ When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the
brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the
accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 376) may not be activated.
● Vehicles that cut in suddenly
● Vehicles traveling at low speeds
● Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane
● Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)
● Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
● Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired set speed
is obtained.
Increases the speed
Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily
move the lever in the desired direc-
tion.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in
the desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph)*1 or 1.0 km/h (0.6
mph)*2 each time the lever is operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased continu-
ally until the lever is released.
*1: Except for diesel engine (vehicles with water-cooled intercooler)
*2: For diesel engine (vehicles wi th water-cooled intercooler)
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brakes are applied or the
clutch pedal (manual transmission
only) is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the constant speed control.
Resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approximately
40 km/h (25 mph)*1 or 30 km/h (20 mph)*2.

*2: For diesel engine (vehicles with water-cooled intercooler)
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
● The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
● Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the
lever down to set the new speed.
■ Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations:
● Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
● Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40 km/h (25 mph)*1 or 30 km/h
(20 mph)*2.
● VSC is activated. (if equipped)
● 4WD models: Switching the transfer mode is not completed within 5 sec-
onds while the cruise control system is on.
● TRC/A-TRC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC, TRC/A-TRC system is turned off. (if equipped)

■ If the warning message for the cruise control is shown on the multi-
information display
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
the button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels imme-
diately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise control

Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system will
activate when the shift lever is in
R. ( P. 293, 300)
The rear view monitor system will
be deactivated when the shift lever
is in any position other than R.
When the shift lever is shifted to
the R position and any mode but-
ton (such as “SETUP”) is pressed,
the rear view monitor system is
canceled, and the screen is
switched to the mode of the button
that was pressed.
: If equipped
The rear view monitor system assists the driver by displaying an
image of the view behind the vehicle with fixed guide lines while
backing up, for example while parking.
The screen illustrations used in this text are intended as examples,
and may differ from the image that is actually displayed on the
screen.

■Screen description
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
The rear view monitor system screen will be displayed if the shift
lever is shifted to R while the engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
The rear view monitor system screen will be displayed if the shift
lever is shifted to R while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
Vehicle width guide line
The line indicates a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight
up.
The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
Vehicle center guide line
The line indicates the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Distance guide line (red)
The line shows distance behind the vehicle, a point approximately 0.5 m
(1.5 ft.) from the edge of the bumper.
Distance guide line (blue)
The line shows distance behind the vehicle, a point approximately 1 m
(3 ft.) from the edge of the bumper.

■Area displayed on screen
The rear view monitor system
displays an image of the view
from the bumper of the rear
area of the vehicle.
The image on the rear view
monitor system screen can be
adjusted. Refer to the “Naviga-
tion and multimedia system
Owner’s manual”.
• The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to
vehicle orientation conditions.
• Objects which are close to either
corner of the bumper or under
the bumper cannot be dis-
played.
• The camera uses a special lens.
The distance of the image that
appears on the screen differs
from the actual distance.
• Items which are located higher than the camera may not be displayed

■Rear view monitor system camera
The camera for the rear view monitor system is located on the tail-
gate.
● Using the camera
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud etc.)
is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In
this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the cam-
era lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.
■Differences between the screen and the actual road
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide line may not
actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide line and the left and
right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even
when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur-
faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error
between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis-
tance/course on the road.
