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 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
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 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as ACCEL/RES switch is pushed.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (89 MPH).
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 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
NOTE:

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

The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 40 km/h (25 MPH).
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 selector lever is shifted to the "N" (Neutral) position.
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 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to “N”. Then, check if the speed set before the cancella-
tion 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 40 km/h
(25 MPH) 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 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.
CHECK FOR DISTANCE SWITCH
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
3. Press the DISTANCE switch.
4. Check if the set distance indicator changes display in order of:
(long)→(middle)→(short).
NOTE:
The set distance indicator shows long immediately after the engine starts.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
SET CHECKING
1. Press the ON/OFF switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set when the COAST/SET switch is released.
NOTE:

ICC system display in the combination meter shows nothing.

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 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) 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 144 km/h (89 MPH).
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 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
NOTE:

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

The lowest set speed is 40 km/h (25 MPH).
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.
