When adding air to an under-inflated tire,
the TPMS with Easy-Fill Tire Alert provides
visual and audible signals outside the ve-
hicle to help you inflate the tires to the rec-
ommended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shif t lever in the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON po- sition. Do not start the engine.
Operation 1. Add air to the tire.
2. Af ter a few seconds, the hazard indica- tors will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. ∙ If the tire is over-inflated more thanapproximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators
flash three times. To correct the pres-
sure, push the core of the valve stem on the tire briefly to release pressure.
When the pressure reaches the des-
ignated pressure, the horn beeps
once.
∙ If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds af-
ter starting to inflate the tire, it indi-
cates that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is
not operating.
∙ The TPMS will not activate the Easy- Fill Tire Alert under the following con-
ditions:
– If there is interference from an exter- nal device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the
tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pressure sensor is not registered to
the system.
– The battery of the tire pressure sen- sor is low.
5-8Starting and driving

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.

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 sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance 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 ve-
hicles 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, overriding 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 vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate 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 ve-
hicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle 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 shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) position, Manual mode or L (Low) range.
∙ When the parking brake system is ap- plied
∙ When the VDC system is turned off
∙ When VDC operates
∙ When distance measurement be- comes impaired due to adhesion of dirt
or obstruction to the sensor
∙ When a wheel slips
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in- terrupted

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ The ICC system is primarily intendedfor use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.
∙ The ICC system will not adapt auto- matically to road conditions. This sys-
tem 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 system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive
or absentminded driving, or over-
come 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 surround-
ing circumstances in order to main-
tain 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 cancel once it judges
that the vehicle has come to a stand-
still and sound a warning chime. To
prevent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake pedal.
∙ Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manu-
ally control the proper following dis-
tance. The ICC system may not be able
to maintain the selected distance be-
tween vehicles (following distance) or
selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances. ∙ The system may not detect the ve-
hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system under
the following conditions:
– 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 bumper around the distance
sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the ve- hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads
– When traffic conditions make it dif- ficult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or deceleration
5-78Starting and driving

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator
Aflashes when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously 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.
Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may in-
form the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.
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 sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
∙ The chime sounds.
∙ The vehicle ahead detection indicator and set distance indicator blink.
∙ You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
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 ve-
hicles is increasing.
∙ When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when: ∙ Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
∙ The accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may flash when
the radar sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
radar sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding, nar-
row, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is
entering or exiting a curve. In these cases,
you will have to manually control the
proper distance ahead of your vehicle.LSD3234
5-106Starting and driving

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle conditions (for ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
37 mph and following a slower vehicle (be-
low ICC set speed), and the turn signal is
activated to the lef t, the ICC system will
automatically start to accelerate the ve-
hicle to help initiate passing on the lef t and
will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle
directly ahead. Only the lef t side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC
system will continue to accelerate to the
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the following speed of that ve-
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the
lef t lane to pass, the acceleration will stop
af ter a short time and regain the set follow-
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped
at any point by depressing the brake pedal
or the CANCEL switch on the steering
wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the following:
∙ This function is only activated withthe lef t turn signal and will briefly ac-
celerate the vehicle even if a lane
change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such as
lef t side exits.
∙ Ensure that when passing another ve- hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before
initiating the pass. Sudden changes in
traffic may occur while passing- al-
ways manually steer or brake as
needed- never solely rely on the
system.
