properly set the cruise control system,
perform the steps below.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:
∙ When it is not possible to keep the vehicleat a set speed
∙ In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies 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 con-
trol and result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON/OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator
light in the vehicle information display will
illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. The SET indicator light
in the vehicle information display will illumi-
nate. 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 previ-
ously 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; the SET indi- cator light in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.
∙ Tap the brake pedal; the SET indicator light goes out.
∙ Push the ON/OFF switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator light and SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display go
out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the SET light in the vehicle information
display goes out if: ∙ You depress the brake pedal while push- ing the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST
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 COAST/SET switch.
Starting and driving5-77

will sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.
The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:∙ When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed
range is between approximately 20 and
90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).
∙ When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the limi-
tations of the system. The system will
cancel once it judges a standstill with a
warning chime.
∙ When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved out from its lane of travel, the ICC
system accelerates and maintains vehicle
speed up to the set speed. The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation to main-
tain proper distance from vehicles ahead
when approaching toll gates or traffic con-
gestion.
When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system 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.
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically ac-
celerates or decelerates your vehicle accord-
ing to the speed of the vehicle ahead. De-
press the accelerator to properly accelerate

ger slipping. Push the CRUISE ON/OFF
switch to turn off the ICC system, and
reset the ICC system by pushing the
CRUISE ON/OFF switch again.)
1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle ahead
Vehicle detected ahead
When 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 dis-
tance. 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
selected 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 accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the system
will be canceled.
