After installation, make sure to carry out “Initial Settings”.

After having installed this product, make sure to make settings for your car’ s special characteristics by carrying out the “Initial Settings” on Page 7. If the “Initial Settings” are not carried out, a Check Engine Light may go on. Also, the unit will remain in NORMAL Mode even if the Mode is switched.

Worried about Installation?

If you are worried about carrying out wiring or other installation procedures please consult your dealer.

Only use 3-drive Specialized Harness.

Using another type of harness will cause troubles and failure; use only the 3-drive specialized harness.

This product can not be installed in car models which come with standard auto-cruise control.

Only use with Manufacturer’s Original ECU.

Do not install this product if the ECU is not the original one or when a sub-ECU is being used.

Set to NOMAL Mode upon Removal of Product.

When uninstalling the product, make sure to return it to nor

(NORMAL) Mode before carrying out any work.

Reconnecting this product in a different mode may cause the Check Engine Light to come on.

Modifying this Product is Forbidden.

Under no circumstances should modifications or changes be made to this product. Doing so may cause damage not only to the product, but to the car and the operation of the car in which it is installed.

WARNING

Improper use or disregard o f t h e s e wa r n i n g s m ay result in the injury or death of people.

●When making initial settings make sure to stop the engine and place in Parking or Neutral. It is dangerous to carry out t h e s e s e t t i n g s w h i l e t h e e n g i n e i s running.

●Do not work in areas where there is ex c e s s i ve ex h a u s t . D u e t o ve h i c l e exhaust emission poisoning or fire may result in a damage to humans.

●Do not crush the cable. Please be careful that the cable does not get crushed by the seat rail or car door steel plate, nor cut by any shar p steel plate as this may cause a poor connection or an electric short leading to fire or other danger.

●While driving DO NOT operate switches or pay prolonged attention to the display; it is extremely dangerous.

●Make sure that all wiring and fastening down of the product does not interfere with driving nor be done in such a way as to cause poor connections.

CAUTION

Improper use or disregard o f t h e s e wa r n i n g s m ay cause injury to persons, damage the product and/or other things.

● W h e n i n s t a l l i n g t h i s p r o d u c t , w e recommend that if technical knowledge becomes necessary please consult a qualified mechanic.

● I f t h e d ev i c e i s i m p r o p e r l y installed or settings have been improperly made a Check Engine

Light may go on.

●Do not use electrotap.

●Wiring should be carried out u s i n g t h e a t t a c h e d “ c u t connector” or by soldering, make sure to securely insulate all wiring parts with insulation tape, and confirm that no wires are sticking out.

●Please wipe with a soft dry cloth (a lens cloth).

●Please do not use alcohol or benzine.

●When connecting to the car side wires, do not only use “electrotap” as this may result in a poor

electrical connection. Please use the supplied “cut connectors” or solder the wires together and make sure to use insulation tape to securely insulate the wire connection.

●The Brake Switch Connectors will differ depending upon the car model, grade and year, so please sure to check the design in the “Wiring Chart”.

Displays the amount of pressure placed on the accelerator pedal.

(output signal) [15 - 100%, 5% unit]

Degree of Acceleration Monitor shows the rate of acceleration output to the ECU where 0 represents the pedal not being pressed in and 100 equals when the pedal is fully pressed down.

※When in ECO Mode, even if the accelerator is stepped on a full 100% the output signal will only be 80%.

※Depending on characteristics of the accelerator or on how the accelerator is stepped on the display may read up to 95%. (When in SPORTS Mode and NORMAL Mode only)

Operating the AUTO CRUISE

After setting to AUTO CRUISE, you can drive automatically at the set speed even without pressing down on the accelerator pedal.

●AUTO CRUISE is nothing more than an aid to assist drivers. Please make sure to follow all speed limits and practice safe driving.

●AUTO CRUISE can be dangerous if activated in the following conditions; do not use under these conditions.

① On slippery Roads (snow and ice) ② In traffic jams

③ Around sudden curves and/or slopes

●Upon climbing a sudden slope, it is not possible to accelerate beyond the capability of the engine. Moreover, when going down a sudden decline the engine can not force deceleration other than from the engine brake; please use the brake when necessary.

●To avoid an increase in engine revolutions, do not put the gear in N (neutral) or any other gear other than D (drive) while in AUTO CRUISE.

【Settable Speed】

Approximately 30 〜140 km/h

Due to differences in some standard meters, the setting w i l l f a l l i n t h e range of between

35 and 145 km/h.

The speed will be raised or lowered according to the number of times the switch is pressed and will automatically drive at that speed.

After one beep, the sound will change to consecutive beeps. Speed will be raised or

lowered while the switch is being pressed

down and will automatically run at the speed when the switch is released.

※ If the alarm sound has been turned OFF, the beep will not sound.

※ This cannot reduce speed more than using the engine brake; when going down steep slopes speed may be unable to be lowered.

Adjust Level

Depending on the size of your car’s engine the amount of time it takes to return to the set cruising speed after a hill climb or other such condition will differ. By adjusting the level it is possible to change the amount of time for returning to the set cruising speed to be faster or slower to match your car’s performance and desired ride.

Level adjustments may differ depending on car model or driving conditions; please use the following as a simple guideline and adjust to fit

your needs. (The factory default setting is

L-3

)

Up to

L-5

(Quick Acceleration)

For Smaller

Engines

Down to

L-1

(Slow Acceleration)

For Larger

Engines

In car models with smaller engines, to have the car return to the set speed faster raise the level to

In larger engine car models, to h a v e t h e c a r r i d e m o r e comfor tably without sudden acceleration to return to the set speed, lower the level to
