accelerate the ve-

hicle to the desired speed, push the SET–
switch and release it. The SET indicator
light or

indicator in the instrument

panel comes on. Take your foot off the ac-
celerator pedal. Your vehicle maintains the
set speed.
•

To pass another vehicle,

depress the ac-

celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previ-
ously set speed.

• The vehicle may not maintain the set

speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, drive without the cruise
control.

To cancel the preset speed,

use one of the

following three methods:
• Push the CANCEL switch; the CRUISE indi-

cator light or

indicator in the instru-

ment panel goes out.

• Tap the brake pedal; the CRUISE indicator

light or

indicator goes out.

• Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch. The

CRUISE indicator light or

indicator in

the instrument panel goes out.

The cruise control is automatically can-
celed and the CRUISE indicator light or
indicator in the instrument panel goes
out if:
• You depress the brake pedal while push-

ing the RES+ or SET– switch. The preset
speed is deleted from memory.

• The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph

(13 km/h) below the set speed.

• You move the shift lever to N (Neutral).

To reset at a faster cruising speed,

use

one of the following three methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET– switch.

• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the

vehicle attains the speed you desire, re-
lease the switch.

• Push and release the RES+ switch. Each

time you do this, the set speed increases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed,

use

one of the following three methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-

hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET– switch and release it.

• Push and hold the SET– switch. Release

the switch when the vehicle slows to the
desired speed.

• Push and release the SET– switch. Each

time you do this, the set speed decreases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury or
death.

•

The ICC system is only an aid to assist
the driver and is not a collision
warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.

•

Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.

•

Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
ICC system. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the
vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(if so equipped)

Starting and driving

5-53

•

In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, a warning chime
will not sound to warn you if you are
too close to the vehicle ahead. Pay
special attention to the distance be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.

The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of you within
the speed range of 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144
km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed
can be selected by the driver between 20 to
90 mph (32 to 144 km/h).

The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.

The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
•

Vehicle-to-vehicle

distance

control

mode:

For maintaining a selected dis-

tance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front of you up to the preset speed

•

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode:

For cruising at a preset speed

Push the ICC switch

to choose the

cruise control mode between the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode and the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode.

Once a control mode is activated, it cannot
be changed to the other cruise control
mode. To change the mode, push the ICC
switch

once to turn the system off. Then

push the ICC switch

again to turn the

system back on and select the desired
cruise control mode.

Always confirm the setting in the ICC sys-
tem display.

For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, see “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode” (P. 5-55).

For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, see “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” (P. 5-71).

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE

In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically main-
tains a selected distance from the vehicle
traveling in front of you according to that
vehicle’s speed (up to the set speed), or at
the set speed when the road ahead is clear.

The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.

LSD3512

LSD3513

Starting and driving

5-55

If the radar sensor

detects a slower

moving vehicle ahead, the system will re-
duce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front at the selected
distance.

The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to ap-
proximately 40% of vehicle braking power)
if necessary.

The detection range of the sensor is ap-
proximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE OPERATION

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected

Starting and driving

and can reduce the speed to match a
slower vehicle ahead. The system will de-
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power.

This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds
to remain fairly constant or when vehicle
speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may be-
come closer because the ICC system can-
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a
warning chime and blink the system dis-
play to notify the driver to take necessary
action.

The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle
is not detected ahead. The system will also
disengage when the vehicle goes above
the maximum set speed.

For additional information, see “Approach
warning” (P. 5-63).

The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
• When there are no vehicles traveling

ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is be-
tween approximately 20 and 90 mph
(32 and 144 km/h).

• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead,

the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the sys-
tem. The system will cancel once it judges
a standstill with a warning chime.

• When the vehicle traveling ahead has

moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed
up to the set speed.

The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation to
maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion.

When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway,
the ICC system will accelerate and main-
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay
attention to the driving operation to main-
tain control of the vehicle as it accelerates
to the set speed.

The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this oc-
curs, you will have to manually control the
vehicle speed.

SSD0254

Starting and driving

5-57

Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when us-
ing the ICC system.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE

tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi-
lar to standard cruise control, as long as no
vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The
ICC system displays the set speed.

Vehicle detected ahead

When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.

NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come on

when braking is performed by the ICC
system.

• When the brake operates, a noise may

be heard. This is not a malfunction.

When a vehicle ahead is detected, the ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator comes on.
The ICC system will also display the set
speed and selected distance.

Vehicle ahead not detected

When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.

If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.

When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the sys-
tem will be canceled.

• The distance to the vehicle ahead will

change according to the vehicle speed.
The higher the vehicle speed, the longer
the distance.

• The distance setting will remain at the cur-

rent setting even if the engine is restarted.

Approach warning

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator

blinks.

The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the

same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing.

• When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster

and the distance between vehicles is
increasing.

• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.

The warning chime will not sound when:
• The vehicle approaches other vehicles

that are parked or moving slowly.

• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-

riding the system.

NOTE:

The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when
the ICC sensor detects objects on the side
of the vehicle or on the side of the road.
This may cause the ICC system to deceler-
ate or accelerate the vehicle. The ICC sen-
sor may detect these objects when the
vehicle is driven on winding roads, narrow
roads, hilly roads, or when entering or ex-
iting a curve. In these cases you will have
to manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).

Automatic cancellation

A chime sounds under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed:

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.

•

The ICC system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.

•

The ICC system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the system
on roads with sharp curves, or on icy
roads, in heavy rain or in fog.

•

As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving, or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.

•

If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system.
The system will cancel once it judges
that the vehicle has come to a stand-
still and sound a warning chime. To
prevent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake pedal.

5-64

Starting and driving

•

Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may not
be able to maintain the selected dis-
tance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.

•

The system may not detect the ve-
hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:

–

On roads where the traffic is heavy
or there are sharp curves

–

On slippery road surfaces such as
on ice or snow, etc.

–

During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)

–

When rain, snow or dirt adhere to
the bumper around the distance
sensor

–

On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle
speed and frequent braking may re-
sult in overheating the brakes)

–

On repeated uphill and downhill
roads

–

When traffic conditions make it dif-
ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration

–

Interference by other radar sources

•

Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.

•

In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recommended
in this warning section.

The radar sensor will not detect the follow-
ing objects:
• Stationary and slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel

lane

The sensor generally detects the signals
returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore,
if the sensor cannot detect the reflection
from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
may not maintain the selected distance.

The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly:
• When snow or road spray from traveling

vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.

• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
• When excessively heavy baggage is

loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle.

The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitations of the system.

When the sensor is covered with dirt or is
obstructed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the ICC system may not detect them.
In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode may not cancel and
may not be able to maintain the selected
following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Be sure to check and clean the sensor
regularly.

The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance detection mode to maintain the se-
lected distance from the vehicle ahead.
