  2. OPERATING CONDITION


    1. RCD operates when all of the following conditions are established.


      • Engine switch is on (IG).

      • RCD is on.

      • The shift position is R.

  3. SYSTEM CONTROL

  4. FUNCTION


    1. RCD Operation


      1. The combination meter assembly customization setting can be used to turn RCD on and off.

      2. A RCD OFF indicator is located in the combination meter assembly to make it possible to check whether RCD is on or off. When the RCD is off, the indicator illuminates to indicate the operation status.

      3. The combination meter assembly customization setting can be used to change the volume of the buzzer.

    2. Buzzer Sound Temporary Mute Function


      1. When the buzzer is sounding, the warning buzzer can be temporarily muted by operating the steering pad switch assembly.

        Tech Tips

        Then, If the shift position is changed to R, the temporary mute function is automatically canceled.

    3. Customization Function


      1. Settings of some functions can be changed as desired by the user. Refer to the Repair Manual for details.

  5. DIAGNOSIS


    1. In order to make system inspections easier to perform, a diagnosis function is used in consideration of serviceability. The DTCs of malfunctioning parts can be read by connecting the Global TechStream (GTS). Refer to the Repair Manual for details.
