WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist thedriver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility 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 un-
derstand 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 accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles without ProPILOT
Assist) (if so equipped)
Starting and driving5-77

∙ 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
(30 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.
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode, refer to “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise 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 (25 km/h) and a vehicle is notdetected 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 (30
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.
