• 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-vehicl e 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 automatica lly 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 DRIV-
ING 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 DI STANCE 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 vehi cle 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 w hen ACCEL/RES switch is operated when driving 40 km/h
(25 MPH) or above, after canceling vehicle-to-v ehicle 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 sw itches operate smoothly.
2. Check if switch buttons r ebound 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).

< BASIC INSPECTION >
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
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 vehicl e 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 autom atically 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 CO NTROL MODE (NORMAL
DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
Refer to "CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
(NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:" .
CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED TH AT IS SET BY CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL
MODE BEFORE ICC CANCELLATION
Refer to "CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION" .

System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001731810
• The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatic ally 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).
• To activate or deactivate the ICC system and set the vehicle speed and vehicle-to-vehicle distance, use the
ICC steering switch.
• The operation status of the ICC system is indicated on the ICC system display of the combination meter.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle can maintain the same speed as other vehicles without
the constant need to adjust the set speed as the dr iver would with a normal cruise control system.
• The system is intended to enhance the operation of the v ehicle when following the vehicle traveling in the
same lane and direction.
• If the ICC sensor integrated unit detects a slow er 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 Cr uise 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 operating 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 convent ional 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 BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION) operating instructions.
