DESCRIPTION
Intelligent Cruise Control
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system maintains a se
lected distance from the vehicle in front of own vehi-
cle within the speed range of 0 to 144 km/h (0 to 90 MPH) up to the set speed.
The set speed can be selected by the driver between 32 to 144 km/h (20 to 90 MPH).
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:
CAUTION:
Never set the cruise speed exceed ing the posted speed limit.

In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the Inte lligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically main-
tains a selected distance from the vehicle traveling in fr ont of own vehicle according to that vehicle's speed (up
to the set speed), or at the set speed when the road ahead is clear.

With ICC system, the driver can maintain the same speed as other vehicles without the constant need to
adjust the set speed as driver would with a normal cruise control system.
The following items are controlled in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
 When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the vehi cle-to-vehicle distance control mode maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed range is between approximately 32 and 144 km/h (20 and 90 MPH).
 When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by driver, from a vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed range is up to the set
speed.
 When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved out from its lane of travel, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up to the set speed.
CAUTION:
If the vehicle ahead comes to stop, the vehicle decel erates to a standstill within the limitations of the
system. The system will cancel once it judges that the vehicle has come to a standstill and sound a
warning chime.
To prevent the vehicle from moving, th e driver must depress the brake pedal.
NOTE:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the brake oper ation and the warning are not performed by the ICC
system.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
Quickly push (less than 1.5 seconds) and release the MAIN switch ON.
The MAIN switch indicator, set distance indicator, own vehicle indicator, and set vehicle speed indicator come
on and ICC system is set to a standby state.
ADAS control unit performs the control as per the following:
Set Condition
Under a standby state, pushing down the SET/ COAST switch will start system control.
 When vehicle speed is between approximately 32 km/h and 144 km/h (20 MPH and 90 MPH).
 When vehicle speed is below approximately 32 km/h ( 20 MPH) if the vehicle ahead is detected. The set
vehicle speed becomes 32 km/h (20 MPH).
If the system is canceled by conditi ons 1-6 below, the system will resume c ontrol at the last set cruising speed
by pushing up the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
NOTE:
 When the SET/COAST switch is pushed under the following condi- tions, the system cannot be set and the set vehicle speed indicator
will blink for approximately 2 seconds.
- When traveling below 32 km/h (20 MPH) and the vehicle ahead is not detected.
- When the selector lever is not in the “D” position or manual mode.
- When the front wipers are operating at HI.
(If the vehicle is equipped with a rain sensing auto-wiper, the sys-
tem may cancel when the wipers are set to AUTO)
- When the parking brakes are applied.
- When the brakes are operated by the driver.
Constant
speed Comparing the set vehicle speed with the current vehicle speed, transmit the command to ECM via CAN communication
to reach the set vehicle speed, and controls the electric throttle control actuator
Decelera-
tion When a vehicle ahead (slower than driver set vehicle speed) appears or when a vehicle ahead slows down, the system
controls the electric throttle control actuator into the close direction and decelerates the vehicle. If greater deceleration
is necessary, the system
transmits the brake fluid pressure control signal to the ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) via CAN communication and operates the brake
Following The system controls the electric throttle control actuator and the brake fluid pressure to keep the proper distance between
the vehicles according to the vehicle speed change of the vehicle ahead
Accelera-
tion When a vehicle ahead is not detected because of it changes lanes or own vehicle changes lanes during the following
driving, the system controls the electric throttle control actu
ator in the open direction and accelerates the vehicle to the
set vehicle speed slowly

 When the SET/COAST switch is pushed under the following condi-
tions, the system cannot be set. A warning chime will sound and
the set speed indicator and own vehicle indicator will blink.
- When the SNOW mode switch is ON (To use the ICC system, turn
OFF the SNOW mode switch, push the MAIN switch to turn OFF
the ICC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the MAIN
switch again.)
- When the 4WD shift switch is not AUTO position. (To use the ICC
system, shift the AUTO position, push the MAIN switch to turn OFF
the ICC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the MAIN
switch again.)
- When the VDC is OFF. (To use the ICC system, turn ON the VDC system, push the MAIN switch to turn OFF the I CC system and reset the ICC system by pushing the MAIN
switch again.)
- When ABS or VDC (including the TCS) operates.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e., sunlight).
- When the wheel is slipping. (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no longer spinning, push the
MAIN switch to turn OFF the ICC system and rese t the ICC system by pushing the MAIN switch again.)
Cancel Conditions
1. When CANCEL switch is pressed.
2. When brake pedal is depressed.
3. When the vehicle ahead is not detected below the speed of 24 km/h (15 MPH).

SYSTEM
In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode,
a warning chime does not sound to warn driver if own
vehicle are too close to the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
To turn ON the conventional (fixed speed) cruise cont rol mode, push and hold the MAIN switch for longer than
approximately 1.5 seconds when ICC system is OFF.
When pushing the MAIN switch ON, the ICC system display and the MAIN switch indicator are displayed on
the information display.
After hold the MAIN switch ON for longer than approxim ately 1.5 seconds, the ICC system display goes out.
The MAIN switch indicator stays lit and brings the system to standby state.
NOTE:
 To turn on the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode again, turn OFF the system and quickly push (less
than 1.5 seconds) the MAIN switch.
 When the DCA system is ON, the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode cannot be turned on even
though the MAIN switch is pushed and held.
 To turn ON the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, turn OFF the DCA system. Refer to DAS-68,
"System Description".
ADAS control unit performs the control as per the following:
Set Condition
When the system is under a standby state and the vehi cle speed is between approximately 40 km/h (25 MPH)
and 144 km/h (90 MPH), pushing the SET/COAST switch will start system control.
If the system is canceled by conditions 1-6 below, the sy stem will resume control at the last set cruising speed
by pushing the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
Cancel conditions1. When CANCEL switch is pressed.
2. When brake pedal depressed.
3. When the vehicle speed falls below approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).
4. When the vehicle slows down more than 13 km/h (8 MPH) below the set speed.
5. When the selector lever is not in the “D” position or manual mode.
6. When the parking brakes are applied.
7. When the MAIN switch is turned OFF.
8. When VDC (including the TCS) operates.
9. When a wheel slips.
10. When the system malfunction occurs.
