3. Turn the cruise control switch off. Thecruiseindicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display will turn off.
• If you depress the brake pedal while pushing the RES+ or SET- switch and re-
set at the cruising speed, the cruise con-
trol will disengage. Turn the cruise control
switch off once and then turn it on again.
• The cruise control will automatically can- cel if the vehicle slows more than 8 mph
(13 km/h) below the set speed.
• If you move the shif t lever to the N (Neu- tral) position, the cruise control will be
canceled.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the preferred speed, push
and release the SET- switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the preferred speed, re-
lease the switch.
• Push, then quickly release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by about 1 mph or 1.6
km/h. To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use
one of the following methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve- hicle attains the preferred speed, push
the SET- switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down
to the preferred speed.
• Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will decrease by about 1 mph or
1km/h.
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.
• The ICC system is only an aid to assist
the driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility 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 atten-
tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly 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 situa-
tions. 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 driving5-67

•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 vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a collision
could occur
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance 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 dis-
tance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front of you up to the present
speed
• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed
Always confirm the setting in the ICC sys-
tem display. For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, see “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode” (P. 5-69).
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, see “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” (P. 5-86).

HOW TO SELECT THE CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Selecting the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode:To choose the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
O1, quickly push and release the ICC switch
OA.
Selecting the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode: To choose the con-
ventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode
O2, push and hold the ICC switchOAfor
longer than approximately 1.5 seconds. For
additional information, see “Conventional
(fixed speed) cruise control mode” (P. 5-86).
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically main-
tains 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.
The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and
direction.
LSD2891LSD2850
Starting and driving5-69

If the radar sensorOBdetects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will re-
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.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE OPERATIONThe vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode is designed to maintain a selected
distance from the vehicle in front of you
and can reduce the speed to match a

slower vehicle ahead. The system will de-
celerate the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the
vehicle’s total braking power.
This system should only be used when traf-
fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-
main 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 between vehicles may be-
come closer because the ICC system can-
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a
warning chime and blink the system dis-
play to notif y the driver to take necessary
action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle
is not detected ahead. The system will also
disengage when the vehicle goes above
the maximum set speed.
For additional information, see “Approach
warning” (P. 5-77).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 (32
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
stationary and slow-moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation to
maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion. 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 main-
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay
attention to the driving operation to main-
tain 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 oc-
curs, you will have to manually control the
vehicle speed.
LSD2892
Starting and driving5-71

Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when us-
ing 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.
1.CANCEL switch:
Deactivates the system without erasing
the set speed.
2. RES+ switch:
Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally. 3.
SET- switch:
Sets desired cruise speed or reduces
speed incrementally.
4. DISTANCE switch:
Changes the vehicle’s following
distance: • Long
• Middle
• Short
5. ICC switch:
Master switch to activate the system.
