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).

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system could
result in serious injury or death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist thedriver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility 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 attentively when using the ICC system. Read and un-
derstand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly 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
situations. 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)
5-84Starting and driving

∙ In the conventional (fixed speed) cruisecontrol 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 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 dis-
tance between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front of you up to the preset
speed
∙ Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed Push the ICC switchAto choose the cruise
control mode between the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode and the conventional
(fixed speed) cruise control mode.
Once a control mode is activated, it cannot be
changed to the other cruise control mode. To
change the mode, push the ICC switch
A
once to turn the system off. Then push the
ICC switch
Aagain to turn the system back
on and select the desired cruise control mode.
Always confirm the setting in the ICC system
display.
For the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, refer to “Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode” in this section.
For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode, refer to “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” in this section.

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 direc-
tion.
LSD3051LSD2932
5-86Starting and driving

If the radar sensorBdetects a slower mov-
ing 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 ap-
proximately 40% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.
LSD3052
Starting and driving5-87

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE
DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
OPERATION
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is designed to maintain a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you and can re-
duce the speed to match a slower vehicle
ahead. The system will decelerate the vehicle
as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes
to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. However, the ICC system can only apply
up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power.
This system should only be used when traffic
conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain
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 be-
tween vehicles may become closer because
the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system
will sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.The system will cancel and a warning chime
will sound if the speed is below approxi-
mately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not
detected ahead. The system will also disen-
gage when the vehicle goes above the maxi-
mum set speed.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.
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 sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation to main-
tain proper distance from vehicles ahead
when approaching toll gates or traffic con-
gestion.
5-88Starting 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
