The detection zone of the ICC sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance detection mode to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead.
A vehicle ahead may move outside of the
detection zone due to its position within
the same lane of travel. Motorcycles may
not be detected in the same lane ahead if
they are traveling offset from the centerline
of the lane. A vehicle that is entering the
lane ahead may not be detected until the
vehicle has completely moved into the
lane.If this occurs, the ICC system may
warn you by blinking the system indicator and sounding the chime. The driver may
have to manually control the proper
distance away from vehicle traveling
ahead.

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
ICC sensor may detect vehicles in a
different lane, or may temporarily not
detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This may
cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or traveling position in the lane,
etc.) or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the
ICC system may warn you by blinking the
system indicator and sounding the chime
unexpectedly. You will have to manually control the proper distance away from the
vehicle traveling ahead.
SSD0254
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,
you will have to manually control the
vehicle speed.

To set cruising speed,accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. (Vehicle
ahead detection indicator, set distance
indicator and set vehicle speed indicator
come on.) Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set

When the COAST/SET switch is pushed
under the following conditions, the system
cannot be set and the ICC indicators will
blink for approximately 2 seconds:
. When traveling below 25 MPH (40
km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not
detected
. When the selector lever is not in the D,
DS or Manual mode
. When the windshield wipers are operat-
ing at low (LO) or high speed (HI).
. When the rain sensing auto wiper
system (if so equipped) is operated
and the wiper speed is at least the
same as the LO (low ) position speed .
When the brakes are operated by the
driver
. When the parking brake is applied

WARNING
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle
according to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your 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.
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the set vehicle speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.

Vehicle detected ahead:GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the
vehicle by controlling the throttle and
applying the brakes to match the speed
of a slower vehicle ahead. The system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.
The stoplights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on. The ICC system will also display the set
speed and selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accel-
eration to the set vehicle speed or any timethe ICC system is in operation, the system
controls the distance to that vehicle.
SSD0611
When passing another vehicle,
the set
speed indicator will flash when the vehicle
speed exceeds the set speed. The vehicle
detect indicator will turn off when the area
ahead of the vehicle is open. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to
the previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in
the ICC system, you can depress the
accelerator pedal when it is necessary to
accelerate your vehicle rapidly.

How to change the set vehicle
speed
GUID-76AD8854-1547-4654-AC12-D407D7FD159CTo cancel the preset speed,use any of
these methods:
. Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN
switch indicator and set vehicle speed
indicator will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the COAST/SET
switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RE-
SUME switch. The set vehicle speed
will increase by approximately 5 MPH
(5 km/h for Canada).
. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL-
ERATE/RESUME switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h for
Canada). To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use
one of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the COAST/SET switch and release it.
. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
The set vehicle speed will decrease by
approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for
Canada).
. Push, then quickly release the COAST/
SET switch. Each time you do this, the
set speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 1 MPH (1 km/h for Canada).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is
over 25 MPH (40 km/h).

How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
GUID-CFE75B46-F7AB-409C-8EEC-69D48CF22A3BThe distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the
traffic conditions.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
*Ais
pushed, the set distance will change to
long, middle, short and back to long again
in that sequence.
