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 set vehicle speed
To 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/RESUME
switch. The set vehicle speed will increase
by approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for
Canada) .
. Push, then quickly release the ACCELER-
ATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do
this, the set speed will increase by approxi-
mately 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 approxi-
mately 5 MPH (5 km/h for Canada) .

.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set dis-
tance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in some
cases when there is a short distance between
vehicles. Some examples are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is
increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-
riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
radar sensor detects objects on the side of
the vehicle or on the side of the road. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate or
accelerate the vehicle. The radar sensor
may detect these objects when the vehicle
is driven on winding roads, narrow roads,
hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve. 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) .
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is at
standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) or
manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is pushed
on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or
4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When ABS or VDC (including the traction
control system) operates .
When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
. When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted

caught when the system controls
the brake.
. Depending on the position of the
accelerator pedal, the system may
not be able to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal appro-
priately.
The DCA system brakes and moves the accel-
erator pedal upward according to the distance
from and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead
to help assist the driver in maintaining a
following distance. The system will decelerate
as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to
Starting and driving5-93
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
. When the brake operates, a noise may
be heard and/or vibration may be felt.
This is not a malfunction.
Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operation overrides the
system operation.
. When the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal even further while the system is
moving the accelerator pedal upward, the
DCA system control of the accelerator pedal
is canceled.
. When the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the brake control by the system is not
operated.
. When the driver’s foot is on the brake pedal,
neither the brake control nor the alert by the
system operates.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system is set, the DCA system will be

DCA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
of the DCA system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.This system will not adapt automa-
tically to road conditions. Do not
use the system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain
or in fog.
. The DCA system will not apply brake
control while the driver’s foot is on
the accelerator pedal.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function, never
rely solely on the DCA system. This
system does not correct careless,
inattentive or absent-minded driv-
ing, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather.
Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, de-
pending on the distance to the
vehicle ahead and the surrounding
circumstances in order to maintain a
FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system operates at speeds above
approximately 3 MPH (5 km/h) .
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB system will provide the first warning to the
driver by illuminating the warning in the vehicle
information display and providing an audible
warning. In addition, the FEB system pushes the
accelerator pedal up. If the driver releases the
accelerator pedal, then the system applies
partial braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the FEB system
detects that there is still the possibility of a
forward collision, the system will automatically
increase the braking force.
If a forward collision is imminent and the driver
does not take action, the FEB system issues the
second visual (flashing) and audible warning and
automatically applies harder braking.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the FEB system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway
conditions, the system may help the driver avoid
a forward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences of a collision should one beunavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the
following conditions:
.
When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle detected
ahead.
If the FEB system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for approxi-
mately 2 seconds before the brakes are
released.

Condition D
When VDC system is OFF, the FEB brake will
not operate. In this case only visible and audible
warning operates. The FEB system warning light
(orange) will illuminate.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
FEB system will resume automatically.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the FEB system malfunctions, it will be turned
off automatically, a chime will sound, the FEB
system warning light (orange)
