Shift-up/Shift-down Request Display (Manual Transaxle)

The shift-up or shift-down request display in the active driving display may be indicated
while the MRCC is operating. When this occurs, shift gears because the gear position is not
appropriate.

NOTE

If the gears are not shifted up even though the shift-up request indication is displayed, load
will be applied to the engine and the MRCC system may be automatically canceled or
engine damage could occur.

Cruise Control Function

While this function is operating, the
headway control operation is canceled and
only the cruise control function operates.
The vehicle speed can be set more than
about 25 km/h (16 mph).
Use the cruise control function on
expressways and other highways which do
not require a lot of repeated acceleration
and deceleration.

WARNING

Do not use the cruise control function in
the following locations:

Otherwise, it could lead to an accident.



Roads with sharp curves and where
vehicle traffic is heavy and there is
insufficient space between vehicles.
(Driving under these conditions using the
cruise control function is not possible)



Steep down slopes (Set speed may be
exceeded because sufficient engine
braking cannot be applied)



Slippery roads such as ice or snow-bound
roads (Tires could spin causing you to
lose vehicle control)

Always drive carefully:

The warnings and brake control will not
operate after the headway control function
is canceled and the system is switched to
only the cruise control function. Depress
the brake pedal to decelerate according to
the surrounding conditions while keeping a
safer distance from the vehicle ahead and
always driving carefully.
