message will appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display. This message will disappear af ter about
6 seconds, or can be dismissed by pushing
the OK button. Cruise control status will
continue to display in the upper right cor-
ner of the vehicle information display while
the system is on.
To set cruising speed,
accelerate the ve-
hicle to the desired speed, push the SET–
switch and release it. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. Your vehicle maintains
the set speed.
If the Cruise Control Alerts are enabled in
the Driver Assistance menu, then the “Tar-
get Speed SET. Press + or – to adjust” mes-
sage will appear in the vehicle information
display when the SET— switch is pushed.
This message will disappear af ter about
6 seconds, or can be dismissed by pushing
the OK button. Cruise control status will
continue to display in the upper right cor-
ner of the vehicle information display while
the system is on.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator 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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assistthe driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system.
To avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent ac-
cidents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ICC system except in ap-
propriate road and traffic conditions.

∙ In the conventional (fixed speed)cruise control 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 be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you or a collision could occur.
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance 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 be-
tween 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
control 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
Aonce 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 sys-
tem display.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, refer to “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode” in this section.
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, refer to “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” in this section.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically main-
tains a selected distance from the vehicle
traveling in front of you according to that
vehicle’s speed (up to the set speed), or at
the set speed when the road ahead is clear.
The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and di-
rection.

If the radar sensor1detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will re-
duce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front at the selected
distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to ap-
proximately 40% of vehicle braking power)
if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is ap-
proximately 650 f t (200 m) ahead.

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 reduce the speed to match a
slower vehicle ahead. The system will de-
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power.
This system should only be used when traf-
fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-
main 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 between vehicles may be-
come closer because the ICC system can-
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a
warning chime and blink the system dis-
play to notif y the driver to take necessary
action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle
is not detected ahead. The system will alsodisengage when the vehicle goes above
the maximum 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
between 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 de-
celerates 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
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode accelerates and maintains ve-
hicle speed up to the set speed. The ICC 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 when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion.
