Removal and InstallationEBS00M3Z
Adjustable Accelerator Pedal
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal adjusting mechanism.

Before removal and installation the accelerator and brake pedals must be in the frontmost posi-
tion. This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake pedals.

Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal assembly.

Do not remove the accelerator pedal position sensor from the accelerator pedal bracket.

Avoid damage from dropping the accelerator pedal assembly during handling.

Keep the accelerator pedal assembly away from water.
REMOVAL
1. Move the accelerator and brake pedals to the frontmost position.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Disconnect the adjustable brake pedal cable from the adjustable brake pedal.

Unlock, then pull the adjustable brake pedal cable to disconnect it from the adjustable brake pedal.

DESCRIPTION
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
OutlineEKS00BLG
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 operating.
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 120 m (390 ft) 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.

Switch OperationEKS00BLK
The system is operated by a master ON/OFF switch and four control switches, all mounted on the steering
wheel.

distance control mode Conventional
(fixed speed)
cruise control mode Brake assist
(with preview brake) Description
ICC unit ××× Controls vehicle speed through ECM via CAN
communication.
ICC sensor ×× Irradiate laser beam, and receives reflected
laser beam to measure distance from preceding
vehicle.
ECM ××× Transmits throttle position signal and ICC steer-
ing switch signal to ICC unit.
ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit) ××× Transmits wheel speed signal to ICC unit.
Operates brake booster based on CAN commu-
nication.
Brake pressure sensor ×× Detects fluid pressure in master cylinder.
Brake booster ×× Adjusts brake fluid pressure based on command
from ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit).
BCM × Transmit front wiper request signal to ICC unit.
TCM ×× Transmits gear position signal and output shaft
revolution signal to ICC unit.
No.
Switch name Description
1 ACCEL/RES switch Resumes set speed or increases speed incrementally.
2 COAST/SET switch Sets desired cruise speed, reduces speed incrementally.
3 ON/OFF switch Master switch to activate the system.
