INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000001731809
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.

• The sensor detection distance is limited if the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is close. The vehicle distance may not maintain properly
because the motorcycle (A) driving on the lane edge is not
detected or detecting the vehicle ahead (cutting in the own vehicle)
delays.
• The sensor dirt is detected automat ically. But it is not perfect. Dirt
is not judged despite the sensor is dirt. Dirt is not detected if snow
or ice is on the sensor.
Keeping the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is difficult. Drive the vehi-
cle safely. Always clean the sensor.
Intelligent Cruise Control is released automatically if dirt is
detected.
• The vehicle ahead may not be detected temporarily, the vehicle or object on the neighboring lane may be
detected or the warning buzzer may sound according to the road shape (curve and narrow road) and the
own vehicle condition (steering, driving lane position, accident , malfunction etc.).
The vehicle ahead is not detected temporarily. The vehicle approaches too close.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CONVENTIONAL (F IXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
• Conventional cruise control mode does neither control the brake nor activate the warning.
Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe distance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed according
to the driving condition etc.
• Never use the conventional cruise control mode in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- A steep downhill The engine brake does not activate effectively on a steep downhill. The preset vehicle speed may exceed.

DOOR REQUEST SWITCH : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001538911
Only when pressing the request switch, it is possible
to lock and unlock the door by carrying the Intelligent
Key.
• The Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to lock and unlock the door locks (door lock/
unlock function) by carrying the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the results of electronic ID verifica-
tion using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key and the vehicle (BCM).
CAUTION:
The driver should always carry the Intelligent Key
• If an action that does not meet the operating conditions of the Intelligent Key system is taken, the buzzer
goes off to inform the driver (Warning chime function).
• When a door lock is locked or unlocked with request switch or remote controller button operation, the hazard
lamps flash and the Intelligent Key warning buzzer or horn sounds (Hazard and buzzer/horn reminder func-
tion).
• The settings for each function can be changed with the CONSULT-III.
• If an Intelligent Key is lost, a new Intelligent Key can be registered. A maximum of 4 Intelligent Keys can be
registered.
• It is possible to perform a diagnosis on the system and register an Intelligent Key with the CONSULT-III.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION/DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK
• When the BCM detects that each door request switch is pressed, it starts the outside key antenna and inside
key antenna corresponding to the pressed door request swit ch and transmits the request signal to the Intelli-
gent Key. And then, check that t he Intelligent Key is near the door.
• If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key ant enna detection area, it receives the request signal and
transmits the key ID signal to the BCM via remote keyless entry receiver.
• BCM receives the key ID signal and compares it with the registered key ID.
• BCM sends the door lock/unlock signal and sounds Intelli gent Key buzzer warning (lock: 2 times, unlock: 1
time) at the same time as a reminder.
OPERATION CONDITION
If the following conditions are not satisfied, door lock/unlock operation is not performed even if the request
switch is operated.
Door switch Transmits door open/close condition to BCM.
Passenger select unlock relay Enables or disables the unlocking of rear doors when this Intelligent Key option is selected. Item

imately 0.5 second each time a switch signal input oc curs. Use this test when one of these inputs is not
responding during normal automatic back door operation.
*Back door warning chime should sound as soon as vehicle moves.
Turn ignition switch OFF to end input signal check mode.
OPERATING CHECK MODE
Operating check mode allows self-diagnos is of the automatic back door system.
To activate operating check mode on the automatic back door, perform the following steps:
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn back door close switch to CANCEL (system cancelled).
3. Place A/T shift selector lever in P position.
4. Using the inside emergency release lever, open the back door.

INTELLIGENT KEY UNIT POWER BACK DOOR INPUT SIGNAL
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001539045
Carrying the Intelligent Key, enables the driver to
open the liftgate using the back door switch even when the
vehicle is locked. When pressing the back door switch, the back door switch sends this signal to the Intelligent
Key unit which treats it as a request switch signal. When the Intelligent Key unit, using the rear bumper
antenna, validates the presence of the Intelligent Key, it sends an open signal to the back door control unit
regardless whether the vehicle is locked.
Rear bumper antenna is mounted on the rear bumper and is used to allow the back door handle opening of
the locked back door when the Intelligent Key is present.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001539046
