< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[ICC]
SYSTEM
 When the SET/COAST switch is pushed under the following condi-
tions, the system cannot be set. A warning chime will sound and
the set speed indicator and own vehicle indicator will blink.
- When the SNOW mode switch is ON (To use the ICC system, turn
OFF the SNOW mode switch, push the MAIN switch to turn OFF
the ICC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the MAIN
switch again.)
- When the 4WD shift switch is not AUTO position. (To use the ICC
system, shift the AUTO position, push the MAIN switch to turn OFF
the ICC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the MAIN
switch again.)
- When the VDC is OFF. (To use the ICC system, turn ON the VDC system, push the MAIN switch to turn OFF the I CC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the MAIN
switch again.)
- When ABS or VDC (including the TCS) operates.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e., sunlight).
- When the wheel is slipping. (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no longer spinning, push the
MAIN switch to turn OFF the ICC system and rese t the ICC system by pushing the MAIN switch again.)
Cancel Conditions
1. When CANCEL switch is pressed.
2. When brake pedal is depressed.
3. When the vehicle ahead is not detected below the speed of 24 km/h (15 MPH).
4. When the selector lever is not in the “D” position or manual mode.
5. When the parking brakes are applied.
6. When the system judges the vehicle is at standstill.
7. When the front wiper s are operating at HI.
(If the vehicle is equipped with a rain sensing auto-wi per, the system may cancel when the wipers are set
to AUTO.)
8. When the SNOW mode switch is turned ON.
9. When 4WD shift switch is not AUTO position
10. When ABS or VDC (including the TCS) operates.
11. When the MAIN switch is turned OFF.
12. When a wheel slips.
13. When driving into a strong light (i.e., sunlight).
14. When the VDC is turned OFF.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[ICC]
SYSTEM
In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode,
a warning chime does not sound to warn driver if own
vehicle are too close to the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
To turn ON the conventional (fixed speed) cruise cont rol mode, push and hold the MAIN switch for longer than
approximately 1.5 seconds when ICC system is OFF.
When pushing the MAIN switch ON, the ICC system display and the MAIN switch indicator are displayed on
the information display.
After hold the MAIN switch ON for longer than approxim ately 1.5 seconds, the ICC system display goes out.
The MAIN switch indicator stays lit and brings the system to standby state.
NOTE:
 To turn on the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode again, turn OFF the system and quickly push (less
than 1.5 seconds) the MAIN switch.
 When the DCA system is ON, the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode cannot be turned on even
though the MAIN switch is pushed and held.
 To turn ON the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, turn OFF the DCA system. Refer to DAS-68,
"System Description".
ADAS control unit performs the control as per the following:
Set Condition
When the system is under a standby state and the vehi cle speed is between approximately 40 km/h (25 MPH)
and 144 km/h (90 MPH), pushing the SET/COAST switch will start system control.
If the system is canceled by conditions 1-6 below, the sy stem will resume control at the last set cruising speed
by pushing the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
Cancel conditions1. When CANCEL switch is pressed.
2. When brake pedal depressed.
3. When the vehicle speed falls below approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).
4. When the vehicle slows down more than 13 km/h (8 MPH) below the set speed.
5. When the selector lever is not in the “D” position or manual mode.
6. When the parking brakes are applied.
7. When the MAIN switch is turned OFF.
8. When VDC (including the TCS) operates.
9. When a wheel slips.
10. When the system malfunction occurs.
Constant
speed Comparing the set vehicle speed with the current vehicle speed, transmits the command to ECM via CAN communication
to reach the set vehicle speed, and controls the electronic throttle control actuator.

 When driving on the freeway at a set speed and approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead, the ICC will adjust the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway, the
ICC system will accelerate and maintain the speed up to the set
speed. Pay attention to the driving operation to maintain control of
the vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed. The vehicle may not
maintain the set speed on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, the
driver will have to manually control the vehicle speed.
 The sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle oper ation (steering maneuver or driving position in the
lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for exampl e, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).
 Normally when controlling the distance to a vehicle ahead, this system automatically accelerates or deceler-
ates own vehicle according to the speed of the vehi cle ahead. Depress the accelerator to properly acceler-
ate own vehicle when acceleration is required for a lane change. Depress the brake pedal when
deceleration is required to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using the ICC system.
Precautions for Conventional (Fix ed Speed) Cruise Control ModeINFOID:0000000006224277
 In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning chime does not sound to warn the driver if
own vehicle is too close to the vehicle ahead, as nei ther the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is detected.
 Pay special attention to the distance between own v ehicle and the vehicle ahead or a collision could occur.
 Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display.
 Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise c ontrol mode when driving under the following conditions:
- When it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed.
- In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed.
- On winding or hilly roads.
- On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
- In very windy areas.
 Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.
 To avoid accidentally engaging cruise control, make sure to the MAIN switch OFF when not using ICC sys- tem.
