NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when
the ICC sensor detects some reflectors
*A
which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes
or on the side of the road. This may cause
the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle. The ICC sensor may detect
these reflectors when the vehicle is driven
on winding roads, hilly roads or when
entering or exiting a curve. The ICC sensor
may also detect reflectors on narrow roads
or in road construction zones. In these
cases you will have to manually control
the proper distance ahead of your vehicle.Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or
vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle
is being driven with some damage).

ditions and the control is automatically

transparent material) or install an
accessory near the sensor. This could
cause failure or malfunction.
CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
Y51D-V-E01-A9EC93DD-FFA0-4726-8E89-FEF742A6C8D8This mode allows driving at a speed
between 25 to 90 MPH (40 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accel-
erator pedal.
WARNING
. In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the pre-
sence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected.
. Pay special attention to the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
. Always confirm the setting in the In-
telligent Cruise Control system display.
. Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control 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 thatvaries 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.

set your desired cruising speed. Pushing
the MAIN switch again will turn the system
completely off.
When the Distance Control Assist (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. See“Distance Control Assist
(DCA) system” (P.5-71).
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
OFF position, the system is also automati-
cally turned off. To use the Intelligent
Cruise Control again, quickly push and
release the MAIN switch (vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode) or push and hold it
(conventional cruise control mode) again to
turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise con-
trol, make sure to turn the MAIN switch off
when not using the Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol system.

To set cruising speed, accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it. (The SET
indicator will come on in the display.) Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your
vehicle will maintain the set speed.
. To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, manually main-
tain vehicle speed. To cancel the preset speed,
use any of the
following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL button. The SET
indicator will go out.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The SET indicator will go out.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator and SET indicator will
go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the COAST/SET
switch.
2. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RE-
SUME set switch. When the vehicle
attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL- ERATE/RESUME switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push

DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST OP-
ERATION
Y51D-V-E01-B04160A4-4E97-484F-B700-2A0B402937B4Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
decelerate to maintain the proper following
distance. The Distance Control Assist (DCA)
system may not be able to decelerate the
vehicle under some circumstances.
The DCA system uses a sensor
*Alocated
on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor gen-
erally detects the signals returned from the
reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, if
the sensor cannot detect the reflector on the vehicle ahead, the DCA system may not
operate.
The following are some conditions in which
the sensor cannot detect the signals:
.
When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is positioned high on the vehicle
(trailer, etc.)
. When the reflector on the vehicle ahead
is missing, damaged or covered
. When the reflector of the vehicle ahead
is covered with dirt, snow and road
spray
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When dense exhaust or other smoke
(black smoke) from vehicles reduces
the sensor’s visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle
The DCA system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation. When
the sensor is covered with dirt or is
obstructed, the system will automatically
be canceled. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag,
etc., the DCA system may not detect them. In these instances, the Distance Control
Assist (DCA) system may not be able to
decelerate the vehicle properly. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
The DCA system is designed to help assist
the driver to maintain a following distance
from the vehicle ahead. The system will
decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the
DCA system can only apply up to 25% of
the vehicles total braking power. If a
vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead
or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly
decelerates, the distance between vehicles
may become closer because the DCA
system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the DCA
system will sound a warning chime and
blink the system display to notify the driver
to take necessary action.
See
“Approach warning” (P.5-80).
This system only brakes and moves the
accelerator pedal upward to help assist the
driver to maintain a following distance
from the vehicle ahead. Acceleration
should be operated by the driver.
The DCA system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach

When driving on some roads, such as
winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or
roads which are under construction, the
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a
vehicle traveling ahead. This may cause
the system to work inappropriately.
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
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.

Operating Distance Control Assist
(DCA) system
Y51D-V-E01-5799BCB9-C68B-4C95-B07A-BD20129D5533The DCA system turns on when the
dynamic driver assistance switch on the
steering wheel is pushed when the“Dis-
tance Control Assist” is enabled in the
settings menu on the center display. The
Distance Control Assist (DCA) system in-
dicator in the dot matrix liquid crystal
display appears when the DCA system is
turned on.
The system will start to operate after the
vehicle speed becomes above approxi-
mately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
WARNING
When the DCA system is not necessary, be
sure to turn off the dynamic driver assis-
tance switch. Using the system when it is
not necessary may result in an accident.
