OPERATING ICC
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed and quickly push the
cruise control lever, up
1or down4. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your ve-
hicle will maintain the set speed.
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the [ICC Suspended] message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display. The
set distance to a slower-moving vehicle in
front will then not be maintained. You will be
driving at the speed you determine by the
position of the accelerator pedal.
You can also activate the ICC when station-
ary. The lowest speed that can be set is
20 MPH (30 km/h ).
System operation
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains 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 for 5 seconds after the
cruise control lever is activated.
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.The brake lights 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 symbol
1appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
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 display 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.
Changing lanes to pass another
vehicle:
When you changes lane to pass another ve-
hicle, ICC supports the action if:
•The vehicle speed is more than 45 MPH
(70 km/h)
•The ICC is maintaining the distance to a
vehicle in front
•The respective turn signal is activated
If these conditions are met, the vehicle will be
accelerated. Acceleration will be interrupted
if changing lanes takes too long or if the
distance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front becomes too small.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of these
methods:
•Tap the brake pedal when the vehicle is
moving.
•Quickly push the cruise control lever in the
direction of arrow
5.
The message [ICC OFF] appears in the ve-
hicle information display for 5 seconds.
To reset at a higher cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, quickly
pull the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever up1beyond
the pressure point. The set vehicle speed
will increase by approximately 10 MPH
(10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever up (1) at the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
increase by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To reset at a lower cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
•Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, quickly pull
the cruise control lever towards you
3.
•Pull the cruise control lever down4be-
yond the pressure point. The set vehicle
speed will decrease by approximately
10 MPH (10 km/h).
•Pull the cruise control lever down4to the
pressure point. The set vehicle speed will
decrease by approximately 1 MPH (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, quickly pull the
cruise control lever towards you
4. The ve-
hicle will resume the last set cruising speed
when the vehicle speed is over 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
NOTE
If you do not fully release the accelerator
pedal, the [ICC Deactivated Automatically]
message appears in the vehicle information
NSD582A
5-54Starting and driving
display. The set distance to a slower-moving
vehicle in front will then not be maintained.
You will be driving at the speed you deter-
mine by the position of the accelerator pedal.
You can also activate ICC when stationary.
The lowest speed that can be set is 20 MPH
(30 km/h).
Stopping
WARNING
•To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others, or pets unattended in
your vehicle.
•The ICC system should only be used to
keep the vehicle stationary when the
driver is actively using the system.
When parking the vehicle, make sure to
turn OFF the ICC system, use the brake,
press the PARK (P) button, and place
the ignition switch in the LOCK position
prior to exiting the vehicle. Failure to do
so could lead to serious injury or death.
The ICC system will not hold the vehiclein place after coming to a stop when any
of the following conditions occur:
–There is a malfunction in the system
or in the voltage supply.
–The ICC system has been deactivated
with the cruise control lever, e. g. by a
vehicle occupant.
–The accelerator pedal has been de-
pressed, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
For further information on deactivating the
ICC system, see "ICC switch (cruise control
lever)" earlier in this section
If the ICC system detects that the vehicle in
front is stopping, it brakes your vehicle until it
is stationary (within the braking limitations of
the system).
Once your vehicle is stationary, it remains
stationary and you do not need to depress
the brake.
NOTE
Depending on the specified minimum dis-
tance, your vehicle will come to a standstill
at a sufficient distance behind the vehicle in
front. The specified minimum distance is set
using the control on the cruise control lever.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time depending on the traffic
conditions.
To increase the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the rear2.To
decrease the distance to the vehicle ahead,
turn the knob
3toward the front1.
You can see this distance in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead will change
according to the vehicle speed. The higher the
vehicle speed, the longer the distance.

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system
warns the driver with the chime and distance
warning light. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
•The chime sounds.
•The distance warning light is illuminated.
The warning chime may not sound and the
distance warning light may not illuminate 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 ve-
hicles is not changing. In this case, the
distance warning light will be on.
•When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing.
•When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle
•The warning chime will not sound and the
distance warning light will not illuminate
when:
– The vehicle approaches other vehicles
that are parked or moving slowly.– The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driv-
ing 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 and the message [ICC off] is
displayed in the vehicle information display
for 5 seconds under the following conditions
and the control is automatically canceled.
•The electric parking brake is applied.
•The VDC intervenes or the VDC is deacti-
vated.
•The P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral)
position is engaged.
•The cruise control lever is pulled in order to
pull away but the front passenger door or
one of the rear doors is open.
•The vehicle is skidding or a wheel slips.
•Active Park Assist is activated.
