PREVIEW FUNCTION (for Intelligent
Cruise Control system equipped
models)
The ICC system with the preview function
identifies the need to apply emergency
braking by sensing the vehicle ahead in
the same lane and the distance to the ve-
hicle ahead and relative speed from it, it
applies the brake pre-pressure before the
driver depresses the brake pedal and
helps improve brake response by re-
ducing pedal free play.
For more details, refer to “Brake assist
(with preview function)” later in this sec-
tion.
CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and ensure
the future reliability and economy of your
new vehicle. Failure to follow these recom-
mendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
O
Avoid driving for long periods at con-
stant speed, either fast or slow. Do
not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
O
Do not accelerate at full throttle in any
gear.
O
Avoid quick starts.
O
Avoid hard braking as much as pos-
sible.
O
Do not tow a trailer for the first 500
miles (805 km).
O
Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Main-
tain cruising speeds with a constant
accelerator position.
O
Drive at moderate speeds on the high-
way. Driving at high speed will lower
fuel economy.
O
Avoid unnecessary stopping and brak-
ing. Maintain a safe distance behind
other vehicles.
O
Use a proper gear range which suits
road conditions. On level roads, shift
into high gear as soon as possible.
O
Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
O
Keep your engine tuned up.
O
Follow the recommended periodic
maintenance schedule.
O
Keep the tires inflated at the correct
pressure. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and waste fuel.
O
Keep the front wheels in correct align-
ment. Improper alignment will cause
not only tire wear but also lower fuel
economy.
O
Air conditioner operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only
when necessary.
