PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST
 The IBA system is a not collision avoidance system. It is the driver′s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
 As there is a performance limit, it may not prov ide a warning or brake in certain conditions.
 The system will not detect the following objects:
- Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
 The system will not detect under the following conditions:
- When the sensor gets dirty and it is impossibl e to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e. sunlight)
 The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, the sys-
tem may not function properly under the following conditions:
- When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead are positioned high or close each other (including a small vehicle
such as motorcycles).
- When the sensor gets dirty or and it is impossi ble to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead is missing, damaged or covered.
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is covered with dirt, snow and road spray.
- When visibility is low (such as rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles are raised up.
- When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) fr om vehicles reduces the sensor visibility.
- When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of vehicle.
- When abruptly accelerating or decelerating.
- On steep downhill or roads with sharp curves.
- When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead (i.e. very close to other vehicle, signboard,
etc.).
- While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
 Depending on certain road conditions (curved, beginning of a curve), vehicle conditions (steering position,
vehicle position), or preceding vehicle ′s conditions (position in lane, etc. ), the system may not function prop-
erly.
 The system may not function in offset conditions.
 The system may not function when the distanc e to the vehicle ahead is extremely close.
 The system detect highly reflective objects such as reflectors, signs, white markers, and other stationary objects on the road or
near the traveling lane, and when in extreme conditions, detection
of these objects may caus e the system to function.
 The system is designed to automatically check the sensor ′s func-
tionality. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transparent or translu-
cent plastic bag, etc., the system may not detect them. In these
instances the system may not be able to warn properly. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
 Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
 Never step in under the brake pedal to avoid an accident when IBA
system turns ON.
 Sudden appearance of the vehicle in front (i.e. it abrupt ly cuts in) may not be detected and the system may
not warn soon enough.
 The system will be cancelled automatically with a beep sound and the IBA OFF indicator lamp will illuminate
under the following conditions:
- When the sensor window is dirty
- When the system malfunctions

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.

vehicle are too close to the vehicle ahead.
WARNING:
Always drive carefully and attentively when using ei ther cruise control mode. To avoid serious injury
or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accide nts or to control the vehicle's speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use cr uise control except in appropriat e rode and traffic conditions.

NOTE:
The display of the DCA system is given priority when the DCA system is ON in a standby mode. (The set vehi-
cle speed indicator, set distance indicator, and own vehicle indicator are not displayed).
APPROACH WARNING DISPLAY
If own vehicle comes closer to a vehicle ahead due to rapi d deceleration of that vehicle or if another vehicle
cuts in, the system warns the driver with the chim e 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.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some
examples are:
 When the vehicles are traveling at the same s peed and the distance between vehicles is not changing.
 When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster and the distance between vehicles is increasing.
 When a vehicle cuts in at near own vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when own vehicle approac hes vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
The warning chime will not sound when the accele rator pedal is depressed, overriding the system.
The approach warning chime may sound and the system disp lay may blink when the ICC sensor detects some
reflectors which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes or on the side of the road.
This may cause the ICC system to dec elerate or accelerate the vehicle.
The ICC sensor may detect these reflectors when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, hilly roads or when
entering or exiting a curve.
The ICC sensor may also detect reflectors on narrow roads or in road construction zones.
In these cases driver will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of own vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the
lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).
