Eco-Cool (if equipped)
When driving while using the air condi-
tioner, cold air is stored in the cooling stor-
age medium of the air conditioner unit.
Since stored cold air will be blown into the
vehicle when the engine has been stopped
automatically by the ENG A-STOP system,
the rise of the inside temperature can be
reduced when the air conditioner is not
running.
For the automatic heating and air condi-
tioning system, reducing the rise of the
inside temperature increases the length of
time that the engine is stopped automati-
cally, leading to improved fuel economy.
NOTE:
Sufficient cold air may not be stored if the
vehicle has not been running for very long
or in a traffic jam. The effect varies
depending on the outside temperature and
the air conditioner settings.
I/S AC Settings (if equipped)
• When using the automatic heating and
air conditioning system (if equipped),
you can select one of the following set-
tings via the setting mode of the informa-
tion display.
– Standard
– Economy
–Comfort
For details on how to use the information
display, refer to “Information display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• When “Economy” is selected, engine
auto stop condition is eased, compared
with “Standard”. Engine auto stop condi-
tion will occur more frequently, the stop
time will be longer, leading to reduction
of fuel consumption.
• When “Comfort” is selected, engine auto
stop condition becomes severe, com-
pared with “Standard”. Engine auto stop
condition will occur less frequently, the
stop time will be shorter, leading to more
comfortable cabin condition by air condi-
tioner.
Cruise control (if equipped)
The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a steady speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal. The
controls for operating the cruise control
system are on the steering wheel.
You can use the cruise control system
under the following conditions:
• For manual transaxle vehicle, the gear
position is in 3rd, 4th or 5th.
• For CVT vehicle, the select lever is in “D”
position, or the gear position is in 3rd,
4th, 5th, 6th or 7th in the manual mode
(if equipped).
• For Auto Gear Shift vehicle, the select
lever is in “D” position, or the gear posi-
tion is in 3rd, 4th or 5th in the manual
mode.
• The vehicle speed is about 45 km/h (28
mph) or higher.
WARNING
To help avoid loss of vehicle control,
do not use the cruise control system
when driving in heavy traffic, on slip-
pery or winding roads, or on steep
downhills.
