When passing another vehicle,the set
speed indicator
*Bwill 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
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 CRUISE ON/OFF switch off. The
ICC indicators 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 SET/- switch.
.Push and hold the RES/+ switch. The set
vehicle speed will increase by approximately
5 MPH (5 km/h) .
.Push, then quickly release the RES/+
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will increase by approximately 1 MPH (1
km/h) .
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
SET/- switch and release it.
.Push and hold the SET/- switch. The set
vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-mately 5 MPH (5 km/h) .
.Push, then quickly release the SET/- switch.
Each time you do this, the set speed will
decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h) .
To resume the preset speed,push and
release the RES/+ switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 20 MPH (32 km/h) .
5-70Starting and driving
.The chime sounds.
.The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
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 tomanually 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)
position or manual shift mode
.When the parking brake is applied
.When the VDC system is turned off
.When 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

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use
the system in city traffic or con-
gested areas.
.This system will not adapt automa-
tically to road conditions. This sys-
tem should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp curves,
or on icy roads, in heavy rain or in

FEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The FEB system will function when your vehicle
is driven at speeds above approximately 3 MPH
(5 km/h) .
If a risk of a forward collision is detected, the
FEB system will firstly provide the warning to the
driver by flashing the warning (yellow) in thevehicle information display and providing an
audible alert.
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 the driver does not take action, the FEB
system issues the second visual (flashing) (red)
and audible warning. If the driver releases the
accelerator pedal, then the system applies
partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB system applies harder braking automati-
cally.
While the FEB system is operating, you may
hear the sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the FEB system is operating
properly.
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 be
unavoidable.
Starting and driving5-81
5-82Starting and driving
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.

the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.The FEB system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
.The radar sensor does not detect
the following objects:
— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-
cles in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles
.The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationaryvehicle is in the vehicle’s path, the
FEB system will not function when
the vehicle is driven at speeds over
approximately 50 MPH (80 km/h) .
.The radar sensor may not detect a
vehicle ahead in the following con-
ditions:
— Dirt, ice, snow or other material
covering the radar sensor.
— Interference by other radar
sources.
— Snow or road spray from travel-
ing vehicles.
— If the vehicle ahead is narrow
(e.g. motorcycle)

hill slope or roads with sharp
curves.
.In some road or traffic conditions,
the FEB system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When accel-
eration is necessary, continue to
depress the accelerator pedal to
override the system.
.The FEB system may react to a
roadside object (traffic sign, guard
rail etc.) ..Braking distances increase on slip-
pery surfaces.
.The system is designed to automa-
tically check the sensor’s function-
ality, within certain limitations. The
system may not detect some forms
of obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow, stickers, for
example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear the sensor area
regularly.
