∙ In the conventional (fixed speed) cruisecontrol mode, a warning chime will not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead. Pay special attention
to the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a collision
could occur.
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the
speed range of 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h)
up to the set speed. The set speed can be
selected by the driver between 20 to 90 mph
(32 to 144 km/h).
The vehicle travels at a set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes: ∙ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: For maintaining a selected dis-
tance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front of you up to the preset
speed
∙ Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed Push the ICC switchAto choose the cruise
control mode between the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode and the conventional
(fixed speed) cruise control mode.
Once a control mode is activated, it cannot be
changed to the other cruise control mode. To
change the mode, push the ICC switch
A
once to turn the system off. Then push the
ICC switch
Aagain to turn the system back
on and select the desired cruise control mode.
Always confirm the setting in the ICC system
display.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, refer to “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode” in this section.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE
DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
OPERATION
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is designed to maintain a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you and can re-
duce the speed to match a slower vehicle
ahead. The system will decelerate the vehicle
as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. However, the ICC system can only apply
up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power.
This system should only be used when traffic
conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain
fairly constant or when vehicle speeds
change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the
traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer because
the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system
will sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.The system will cancel and a warning chime
will sound if the speed is below approxi-
mately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not
detected ahead. The system will also disen-
gage when the vehicle goes above the maxi-
mum set speed.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.
The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
∙ When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is be-
tween approximately 20 and 90 mph (32
and 144 km/h).
∙ When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode adjusts the speed to maintain the
distance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of the sys-
tem. 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
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
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.

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 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.
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 stop 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 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.

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 ICC sys-
tem display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:∙ 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:
∙ The 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 ICC
sensor detects objects on the side of the ve-
hicle or on the side of the road. This may
cause the ICC system to decelerate or accel-
erate 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 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 under the following condi-
tions and the control is automatically can-
celed: ∙ 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 electronic parking brake sys- tem is applied
∙ When the VDC system is turned off
∙ When VDC operates
∙ When distance measurement becomes impaired due to adhesion of dirt or ob-
struction to the sensor
∙ When a wheel slips
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in- terrupted
