DESCRIPTION
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
OutlineEKS007RI
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function). The ICC system may
AUTO-CANCEL for various reasons, for example, when the windshield wipers are operated at the low speed
(LO) or high speed (HI) position.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the same speed as other vehicles, can be maintained without the
constant need to adjust the operating speed as with a conventional cruise control system.
The system is intended to enhance the operation of the vehicle when following another vehicle in the same
lane and direction.
If the distance sensor detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so that the vehicle
ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operation instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the brake assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a conventional brake booster, even with light pedal force.
When the preview function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver
depresses the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
SET CHECKING
1. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 25 MPH (40 km/h) and 89 MPH (144 km/h).
3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as the COAST/SET switch is released.
NOTE:

When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.

When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.

The set vehicle speed is displayed on the ICC system indicator in the combination meter.
CHECK FOR INCREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1 MPH (1 km/h) as ACCEL/RES switch is pushed.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 89 MPH (144 km/h).
CHECK FOR DECREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1 MPH (1 km/h) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
NOTE:

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers to 20
MPH (32 km/h) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.

The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 25 MPH (40 km/h).
CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
(NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
1. When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned on.
2. When the A/T select lever is shifted into gears other than “D”, including manual shifts.
3. When the system is turned off.
4. When CANCEL switch is operated.
CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION
1. Cancel the system by depressing the brake. Then, check that the speed before cancellation is restored
when pressing ACCEL/RES switch with vehicle speed at 25 MPH (40 km/h) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the select lever into other than “D”. Then, check if the speed set before the
cancellation is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is pressed.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is operated when driving 25 MPH
(40 km/h) or above, after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by operating the CANCEL
switch.
CHECK ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION
1. Start the engine. Then, check that the following operations are
performed correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed when ON/
OFF switch is pressed ON. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. Turn off the ignition switch while ON/OFF switch is ON. Turn the
ignition switch back to ON and confirm that CRUISE lamp and
ICC system display are OFF.

CHECK FOR INCREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) as ACCEL/RES switch is pushed.
NOTE:

If the ACCEL/RES switch is held, the vehicle speed increases until the switch is released.

The maximum set speed is 89 MPH (144 km/h).
CHECK FOR DECREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1 MPH (1.6 km/h) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
NOTE:

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers
to 20 MPH (32 km/h).

The lowest set speed is 25 MPH (40 km/h).
CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL
MODE (NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
Refer to ACS-9, "CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL
MODE (NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:"
CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE BEFORE ICC CANCELLATION
Refer to ACS-9, "CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DIS-
TANCE CONTROL MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION"
CHECK ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION
1. Start the engine. Then, check that the following operations are
performed correctly.
2. CRUISE lamp (green) illuminates and ICC system indicator
goes off when ON/OFF switch is pressed ON for more than 1.5
seconds. The CRUISE lamp goes off when ON/OFF switch is
turned to OFF.
3. Turn off the ignition switch while ON/OFF switch is ON. Turn the
ignition switch back to ON and confirm that CRUISE lamp is
OFF.
CHECK FOR ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL SWITCHES
1. Check if ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, CANCEL switches operate smoothly.
2. Check if switch buttons rebound as the buttons are released.

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Revision: August 20072004 QX56

The area is not suitable for the adjustment work.

ICC sensor is not clean.
8. After the CONSULT-II displays “ADJUST THE VERTICAL OF
LASER BEAM AIMING” turn the vertical adjusting screw until
“U/D CORRECT” value is set in the range of ±4.
CAUTION:
Turn the screw slowly. The value on the CONSULT-II is
slower than the actual movement of the ICC sensor. Wait 2
seconds between each adjustment.
NOTE:
Turning the screw clockwise raises the ICC sensor and counter-
clockwise lowers the ICC sensor.
9. When “U/D CORRECT” value indicates ±4, confirm that the value remains within ±4 for at least 2 seconds
while nothing is touching the ICC sensor.
When “COMPLETED THE VERTICAL AIMING OF LASER
BEAM” appears on screen, touch “END”.
CAUTION:
Be sure that the margin of “U/D CORRECT” is within ±4
when the ICC sensor unit is untouched.
10. Confirm that “ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC HORIZONTAL LASER
BEAM AIMING” is on screen and wait while the horizontal
adjustment is made automatically. (maximum: 10 seconds).
