System set display with vehicle aheadSystem set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system 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 onthe speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain 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 and/or vibration may
be felt. 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 acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the pre-
viously 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 accel-
eration 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.

.This system will not adapt auto-
matically 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 sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other
bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal. .
Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp
curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over- heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
. Do not use the ICC system if you
are towing a trailer. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control
the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the ICC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
. Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-
DC system could result in serious
personal injury or death.
.Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the I-DC sys-
tem. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the I-DC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the I-DC system
except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
. This system is only an aid to
assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance
device. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at
all times.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the I-DC
system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or absent-minded driving, or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate
the vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal, depending on
the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually decelerate to
maintain the proper following
distance. The I-DC system may
not be able to decelerate the
vehicle under some circum-
stances.
. This system only brakes and
moves the accelerator pedal up-
ward to help assist the driver to
maintain a following distance
from the vehicle ahead. Accelera-
tion should be operated by the
driver.
. The I-DC system does not control
vehicle speed or warn you when
you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation
to maintain proper distance from
vehicles ahead.

.The I-DC system automatically
decelerates your vehicle to help
assist the driver to maintain a
following distance from the vehi-
cle ahead. Manually brake when
deceleration is required to main-
tain a safe distance upon sudden
braking by the vehicle ahead or
when a vehicle suddenly appears
in front of you. Always stay alert
when using the I-DC system.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel with a warning chime once it
judges that the vehicle has come
to a standstill. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver
must depress the brake pedal.

The system is intended to assist the driver
to keep a following distance from the
vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane
and direction.
If the radar sensor
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed to help assist
the driver to maintain a following dis-
tance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

I-DC SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-
DC system could result in serious
personal injury or death.
.When the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light is not illuminated,
system will not control the vehi-
cle or warn the driver.
. Never place your foot under the
brake pedal. Your foot may be
caught when the system controls
the brake.
. Depending on the position of the
accelerator pedal, the system
may not be able to assist the
driver to release the accelerator
pedal appropriately.
The I-DC system brakes and moves the
accelerator pedal upward according to
the distance from and the relative speed
of the vehicle ahead to help assist the
driver in maintaining a following distance.
The system will decelerate as necessary
and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill.
However, the I-DC system can only apply

up to approximately 40% of the vehicle’s
total braking power. If a vehicle moves
into the traveling lane ahead or if a
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decele-
rates, the distance between vehicles
may become closer because the I-DC
system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the I-DC
system will sound a warning chime and
blink the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-93).

The I-DC system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accel-
erator pedal upward in the normal driving
condition.
When a vehicle ahead is detected:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator
comes on.
When the vehicle approaches a vehicle
ahead:
.If the driver’s foot is not on the
accelerator pedal, the system acti-
vates the brakes to decelerate smoothly as necessary. If the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the
limitations of the system.
. If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accel-
erator pedal upward to assist the
driver to release the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by the driver is
required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead
detection indicator. If the driver’s foot is
on the accelerator pedal after the warn-
ing, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to
