BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 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, the
system chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light
is adjusted automatically depending on
the brightness of the ambient light.
If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal,
then only the side indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. For additional
information, refer to “BSW driving situa-
tions” (P.5-51).

Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may
inform 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
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the
system warns the driver with the chime
and ICC system display. Decelerate by
depressing the brake pedal to maintain a
safe vehicle 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 dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween 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 vehi-
cles 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 de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding, narrow, 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.
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 example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
44 mph (70 km/h) and following a slower
vehicle (below ICC set speed), and the
turn signal is activated to the left, the ICC
system will automatically start to accel-
erate the vehicle to help initiate passing
on the left and will begin to reduce the
distance to vehicle directly ahead. Only
the left 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
accelerate up to the following speed of
that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered
into the left lane to pass, the acceleration
will stop after a short time and regain the
set following distance. Acceleration can
be stopped at any point by depressing
the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
