CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed
between 25 - 89 mph (40 - 144 km/h) with-
out keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the Cruise
control
switch on. Theindicator in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the SET– switch
and release it. The
indicator in the ve-
hicle information display will illuminate. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your ve-
hicle maintains the set speed.
∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator 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; the
indicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display goes out. ∙ Tap the brake pedal; the
indicator
goes out.
∙ Push the Cruise control
switch off.
The
indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display go out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the
indicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display goes out if:
∙ You depress the brake pedal while push- ing the RES+ or SET– switch. The preset
speed is deleted from memory.
∙ The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
∙ You move the shift lever to N (Neutral).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET– switch.
∙ Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire,
release the switch.
∙ Push and release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed increases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use one
of the following three methods:
∙ Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
the SET– switch and release it.
∙ Push and hold the SET– switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows to the
desired speed.
∙ Push and release the SET– switch. Each time you do this, the set speed decreases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES+ switch. The vehicle returns to
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

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 approxi-
mately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

5-80Starting and driving

When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle
ahead changes lanes or exits the freeway, the
ICC system will accelerate and maintain the
speed up to the set speed. Pay attention to
the driving operation to maintain control of
the vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you
will have to manually control the vehicle
speed.Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically ac-
celerates or decelerates your vehicle accord-
ing to the speed of the vehicle ahead. De-
press the accelerator to properly accelerate
your vehicle when acceleration is required for
a lane change. Depress the brake pedal when
deceleration is required to maintain a safe
distance to the vehicle ahead due to its sud-
den braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay
alert when using the ICC system.VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE
DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
SWITCHES
The system is operated by the ICC switch and
four control switches, all mounted on the
steering wheel.

When the SET– switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the system cannot be
set.
A warning chime will sound and a message
will pop up:∙ When the VDC system is off (To use the ICC system, turn on the VDC system.
Push the ICC switch to turn off the ICC
system and reset the ICC switch by push-
ing the ICC switch again.)
For additional information about the
VDC system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” in this section.

∙ When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no lon-
ger slipping.)
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.

When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), the system
will be canceled.When passing another vehicle,the set speed
indicator
Bwill flash when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect
indicator will turn off when the area ahead of
the vehicle is open. When the pedal is re-
leased, the vehicle will return to the previ-
ously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the
ICC system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate your
vehicle rapidly.
How to change the set vehicle
speed
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle speed indicator will go out.
∙ Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed indicator will go out.
∙ Turn the ICC switch off. The ICC indica- tors will go out.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following methods:
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET– switch.
∙ Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed will increase by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h).
∙ Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by approximately
1 mph (1 km/h).
