ERASING ON BOARD SELF-DIAGNOSIS
1. Stop the vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Start engine and start on board self-diagnosis.
3. During on board self-diagnosis, press CANCEL switch 5 times,
and DISTANCE switch 5 times in this order.
NOTE:
• Press them within 10 seconds after pressing CANCEL switch
at first.
• When operation is not completed within 10 seconds, start again from step 2 above.

• Last five cancel (system cancel) causes are displayed.
• “CAUSE OF AUTO-CANCEL” displays times of ignition switch ON/OFF up to 254 maximum. 254 is kept though the number exceeds 254. The num ber returns to 0 when detecting the same cancellation causes.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT
For details, refer to CCS-55, "Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart".
NOTE:
“DTC RESULTS” and “TIME” are indicated on “Self Diagnostic Result”. “TIME” is used as a reference data of
diagnosis. It shows when malfunction is detected.
“TIME” shows the following.
• 0: malfunction is detected at present (from malfunction detection to ignition switch OFF).
CAN communication ([U1000], [U1010])
• 1 ~ 39: Displays when it is normal at present and finds malfunction in the past. It increases like
0→ 1→ 2...38→ 39 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF→ ON. If it is over 39, it is fixed to
39 until the self-diagnostic results are erased. It retu rns to 0 when malfunction is detected again in the pro-
cess.
Other than CAN communication (other than [U1000], [U1010])
• 1 ~ 49: Displays when it is normal at present and finds malfunction in the past. It increases like 0→ 1→ 2...48→ 49 after returning to the normal condition whenever IGN OFF→ ON. If it is over 49, it is fixed to
49 until the self-diagnostic results are erased. It retu rns to 0 when malfunction is detected again in the pro-
cess.

PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Intelligent Cruise Control is functionally limited. This never support careless driving and low visibility (rain,fog, etc.). Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe di stance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed
according to the driving condition etc.
• Intelligent Cruise Control never stop the vehicle autom atically. Intelligent Cruise Control is automatically
released, and the buzzer sounds if any vehicle ahead is not detected when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 35 km (21.5 MPH) or less.
• Use this system when the vehicle speed does not extr emely change. This system may not properly function
when any vehicle cuts in, or when the vehicle ahead s uddenly applies the brake. Then, the warning (buzzer
and indication) activates.
• Never use Intelligent Cruise Control in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the dr iving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- The vehicle drives in bad whet her (rain, fog, snow etc.).
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if the whether condition is bad. Intelligent
Cruise Control is released automatically if the wiper activates in low or high speed.
- The vehicle receives bright light (sunshine etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if bright light enters in the vehicle.
- Raindrop or snow is on the sensor.
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected prec isely if raindrop or snow attaches on the sensor.
- A steep downhill The setting vehicle speed may exceed if Intelligent Cruise Control does not detect the vehicle ahead. The
brake may heat up in the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode.
- A repeated uphill and downhill Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicl e ahead precisely. An accident may occur by tailgating.
- Maintaining proper vehicle distance is difficult due to frequent acceleration/deceleration. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition if keeping a proper vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is difficult.
- When entering in the highway interchange (swerving off the main line),
Unexpected accident may cause if the vehicle ahead drives slower
than the preset vehicle speed. T he vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode accelerates automatically because the vehicle ahead is
not detected on the lane if the own vehicle or the vehicle ahead
changes the lane.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the parking vehicles, and vehicles driving extremely slow er than the own vehicle. Never
hit the vehicle stopping at a tollgate, or the tail end of traffic jam.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the vehicle edging way, and non-vehicle objects (passengers etc.).
• This function detects the reflector of the vehicle ahead. Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle
ahead, and keep a proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in t he following conditions. Drive the vehicle according
to the driving condition.
- The vehicle ahead installs the reflector higher (trailer etc.).
- The rear of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirt.
- The vehicle ahead or vehicle on other lanes splashes water or snow on the road.
- The vehicle ahead provides dark exhaust gas. Smoke blocks the visibility.
- The vehicle ahead attaches film on the reflector. The v ehicle ahead does not install the reflector. The reflec-
tor is broken.
- Extremely heavy load is on the rear seat or in the cargo area.
- The vehicle drives on a repeated uphill and downhill
