I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, thesystem chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. Then the I-BSI
system slightly applies the brakes to help
return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The I-BSI system oper-
ates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.
I-BSI warning and system applica-
tion of the brakes will only be
activated if the side indicator light
is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the
detection zone after your vehicle
has crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI
warning or system application of the
brakes will be activated. (See “I-BSI
driving situations” (P.5-46).)
. The I-BSI system is typically acti-
vated earlier than the Intelligent
Lane Intervention (I-LI) system when
your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker.

the I-BSI system slightly applies the
brakes to help return the vehicle back to
the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
.The radar sensors may not detect
vehicles which are approaching ra-
pidly from behind.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when the other vehicle is detected.

return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane.
NOTE:
.When overtaking several vehicles in
a row, the vehicles after the first
vehicle may not be detected if they
are traveling close together. .
The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when
the other vehicle is detected.

same speed as your vehicle when it
enters the detection zone.

I-BI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the I-BI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings.
If the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake
for a moment when the vehicle is moving
backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure. If
the driver’s foot is on the accelerator

.In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or in
the opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the I-BI
system after the first vehicle passes
the sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating
there is an object behind the vehicle
has a higher priority than the I-BI
chime (single beep) indicating an ap-
proaching vehicle. If the sonar system
detects an object behind the vehicle
and the I-BI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time,
the following indications are provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side
of the approaching vehicle flashes,
and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears in the center display.

If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame
will
appear in the center display and the
system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. After
the automatic brake application, the dri-
ver must depress the brake pedal to
maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is ap-
plied. However, if you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the
brakes. The I-BI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.ICC is not a collision avoidance or
warning device. For highway use
only and it is not intended for
congested areas or city driving.
Failure to apply the brakes could
result in an accident.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using either cruise
control mode. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the cruise
control. 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
cruise control except in appropri-
ate 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 between your vehi-
cle 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 (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 distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you up to the preset speed.
. Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.

HOW TO SELECT THE CRUISE CON-
TROL MODE
Selecting vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode
To choose the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, quickly push and release
the MAIN switch.
Selecting the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
MAIN switchfor longer than approxi-
mately 1.5 seconds. See “Conventional
(fixed speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-81).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically
maintains 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.
JVS0913X
The system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
If the radar sensor
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce 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
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.
