INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005145979
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005145980
• 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.
