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 5. 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.
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.
Set to NORMAL Mode upon Removal of Product.
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.
Modifying this Product is Forbidden.

SPORTS Mode is for higher response driving.
ECO Mode is for better fuel efficiency, more
comfort or when on slippery roads.
3-drive・COMPACT enables changing the response for
electronic throttle car models and gives you, the driver, the
freedom to select the type of acceleration response you need or
desire: quick acceleration for speedy driving to slower
acceleration for ECO-driving.
Displays the amount of pressure on the accelera-
tor and helps to prevent poor fuel efficiency due to
over acceleration.
This compact all-in-one body makes it possible to
install in out of the way places such as storage box
or near the steering wheel.
Select from three modes in which to start the
engine: “Same as Last” Mode, “Normal” Mode or
in “Safety” Mode which restarts the engine in SP3
mode when the setting is SP4 or above.
Easy installation using the specialized model
specific harness. (sold separately)
Note 1: When using the Diagnostic Monitoring Connector for running
tests, disconnecting the OBD connector will not cause any harm to
the car.
Note: Even in ECO Mode, if rapid acceleration is carried out over and over
again fuel efficiency will not increase.

Check Wiring
Usually there is no need to wire to
reverse.
When put into reverse, the degree of acceleration is
small and quick acceleration will not occur; it is not
necessary to wire for reverse.
When the reverse signal is
input, no matter which mode
it is in the dot will light up;
only when in SP Mode will it
switch to NORMAL Mode.

[Reference 3] How to use the Male Connectors
Note: After connecting the male and female
connectors, make sure to firmly twist the
male sleeve inside the female sleeve.
Wire
Male sleeve
Pull the cable through
the male sleeve.
Remove about 10 mm
of the cable casing.
Turn back the tip of the
wires.
Crimp these places
Male Connector Connect the male connector to the end of
the cable.
Crimp down with crimpers to make sure that
the inner wires are firmly connected to the inner
part of the connector and that the cable section
is connected to the outer part of the connector.
Affix the male sleeve to the places as
mentioned above.
[Reference 2] How to use the Connectors
Note: When crimping,
please use crimpers or use
pliers to bend and then
solder together.
Peel off of the vinyl
cover at connection.
Wrap around
both wire coils.
Insulate with vinyl tape.
Close tightly with cut
connector.
Peel off of the vinyl
cover at the end of the
product’s wire.
About Wiring for Reverse By wiring to reverse, it is possible when in SPORTS Mode to automatically
switch to NORMAL Mode when the gear is put into R(Reverse).
Do not use magnetic
holders, such as for a
smartphone, to prevent
malfunction.
Please be sure to bundle
away all wires with tape not
to get damaged by any steel
plate or screws as this may
cause short circuit.

Note: ECO Mode increases fuel efficiency over normal conditions by suppressing
rapid acceleration; if rapid acceleration is purposefully carried out fuel
efficiency will be reduced.
The changes in response will be greater as the vehicle’s power is greater.
Degree of Acceleration Monitor
• Degree of Acceleration Monitor shows the rate of acceleration output to the ECU where 0 represents the
