WARNING
●Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror could cause
an accident. Use the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder to properly
judge distances to other objects.
● Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
Power folding outside mirrors
CAUTION
Do not manually fold the power folding
mirrors. Manually folding the mirrors can
damage the mirrors.
Push the switch to open or close the mirrors.
Automatic anti-glare outside mirror
(Driver’s side only)
The outside mirror will automatically dim during

defog, or de-ice for improved visibility. For addi-
tional information, see “Rear window and outside
mirror defroster switch” in the “Instruments and

The system is intended to enhance the operation
of the vehicle when following another vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.
If the distance sensor
1detects a slower mov-
ing vehicle ahead of you, the system will reduce
your speed so that you follow the vehicle in front
of you 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 approxi-
mately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
WARNING
● This system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
● The system is primarily intended for use
on straight, dry, open roads with light
traffic. It is not advisable to use the
system in city traffic or congested
areas.
● This system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
The distance sensor will not detect under most
conditions: ● Stationary and slow moving vehicles
● Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
● Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
● Motorcycles or scooters traveling offset in
the travel lane This system will not automatically brake
the vehicle to a stop.
WARNING
●
As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the Intelligent Cruise Control
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-minded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Deceler-
ate the vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the surround-
ing circumstances in order to maintain
a safe distance between vehicles.
● Although the brake operation is con-
trolled by the system, the system does
not automatically stop the vehicle. If the
vehicle speed falls below approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h) , the Intelli-
gent Cruise Control system is automati-
cally canceled and a warning chime
sounds. (The brake control is also
canceled.)

●The system may not detect the vehicle
in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never
use the Intelligent Cruise Control sys-
tem under the following conditions:
– On roads where the traffic is heavy or there are sharp curves.
– On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) (When the windshield wiper is
operated at the low speed (LO) or
high speed (HI) position, the Intelli-
gent Cruise Control system is auto-
matically canceled.)
– When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining
on the front of the vehicle.
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor.
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent barking may result in
overheating the brakes) .
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads. – When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration.
● Do not use the Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol system if you are towing a trailer.
The system may not detect a vehicle
ahead.
● In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. You may
need to control the distance from other
vehicles using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the ICC
system when it is not recommended in
this section.
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance mode
operation
Always pay attention to the operation of the ve-
hicle and be ready to manually control the proper
following distance. The Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC) system may not be able to maintain the
selected distance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
uses a sensor
1located on the front of the
vehicle to detect vehicles ahead. The sensor
generally detects the signals returned from the
reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the
