CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch on. The
indicator
light in the vehicle information display will illumi-
nate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the SET/- switch and
release it. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle maintains the set speed.
● To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.
● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods:
● Push the CANCEL switch.
● Tap the brake pedal.
● Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off.
The
indicator light in the vehicle infor-
mation display goes out. The cruise control is automatically canceled if:
● You depress the brake pedal while pushing
the RES/+ or SET/- switch. The preset
speed is deleted from memory.
● The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph
(13 km/h) below the set speed.
● You move the shift lever to N (Neutral) .
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET/- switch.
● Push and hold the RES/+ switch. When the
vehicle attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.
● Push and release the RES/+ switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed increases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods:
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/- switch and release it.
● Push and hold the SET/- switch. Release the
switch when the vehicle slows to the desired
speed. ●
Push and release the SET/- switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed decreases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES/+ switch. The vehicle returns to
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
To turn off the cruise control, use one of the
following three methods:
● Push the CANCEL switch.
● Tap the brake pedal.
● Push the CRUISE ON/OFF switch off.
The
indicator light in the vehicle infor-
mation display goes out.

1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based
on the road conditions. The ICC system main-
tains 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
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the
ICC system decelerates the vehicle by control-
ling 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.
NOTE:
● 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 se-
lected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates 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 acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system
is in operation, the system controls the distance
to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the system will
be canceled.

When passing another vehicle,the set speed
indicator
Bwill flash when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect indi-
cator 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 one of the
following 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 ve-
hicle 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 re-
lease the RES/+ switch. The vehicle will resume
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 20 mph (32 km/h).

5-68Starting and driving
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC 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 ICC 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 a
standstill ●
When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or Manual mode
● When the parking brake system is applied
● When the VDC system is turned off
● When ABS or VDC 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
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS
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 serious injury or
death.
● The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas. ●
The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
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 fog.
● As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill
within the limitations of the system. The
system will cancel once it judges that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal.

2. FEB emergency warning indicator
3. FEB warning light
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 provide an initial warning to the driver
by both a visual and audible alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and force-
fully after the warning, and the FEB system de-
tects 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
warning (red) and audible warning and also ap-
plies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes imminent, the
FEB system applies harder braking automatically.
LSD2687
Starting and driving5-83
NOTE:
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when
braking is performed by the forward emer-
gency braking 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 conse-
quences of a collision, should one be unavoid-
able. If the driver is handling the steering wheel,
accelerating or braking, the FEB system will func-
tion later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the fol-
lowing 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 approximately
2 seconds before the brakes are released.

FEB SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the FEB system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
● The FEB system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
● The radar sensor does not detect the
following objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the roadway.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Crossing vehicles.
● The radar sensor has some perfor-
mance limitations. If a stationary ve-
hicle is in the vehicles’s path, the FEB
system will not function when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds over approxi-
mately 50 mph (80 km/h).
● The radar sensor may not detect a ve-
hicle ahead in the following conditions:
– Dirt, ice, snow or other material cov- ering the radar sensor. – Interference by other radar sources.
– Snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles.
– If the vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motorcycle) .
– When driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves.
● In some road or traffic conditions, the
FEB system may unexpectedly apply
partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the ac-
celerator pedal to override the system.
● Braking distances increase on slippery
surfaces.
● The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within
certain limitations. The system may not
detect some forms of obstructions of
the sensor area such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, etc. In these cases, the system may
not be able to worn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear
the sensor area regularly.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
