VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
SET CHECKING
1. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as the COAST/SET switch is released.
NOTE:

When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.

When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.

The set vehicle speed is displayed on the ICC system indicator in the combination meter.
CHECK FOR INCREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as ACCEL/RES switch is pushed.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (89 MPH).
CHECK FOR DECREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
NOTE:

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers to 32
km/h (20 MPH) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.

The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 40 km/h (25 MPH).
CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
(NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
1. When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned on.
2. When the selector lever is shifted to the "N" (Neutral) position.
3. When the system is turned off.
4. When CANCEL switch is operated.
CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION
1. Cancel the system by depressing the brake. Then, check that the speed before cancellation is restored
when pressing ACCEL/RES switch with vehicle speed at 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to “N”. Then, check if the speed set before the cancella-
tion is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is pressed.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is operated when driving 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above, after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by operating the CANCEL
switch.
CHECK ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION
1. Start the engine. Then, check that the following operations areperformed correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed when ON/ OFF switch is pressed ON. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. Turn off the ignition switch while ON/OFF switch is ON. Turn the ignition switch back to ON and confirm that CRUISE lamp and
ICC system display are OFF.

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENTPFP:00026
Outline of Laser Beam Aiming Adjustment ProcedureEKS00BLN
CAUTION:

The laser beam aiming adjustment cannot be performed without CONSULT-II.

The laser beam aiming adjustment must be performed every time the ICC sensor is removed,
installed or has been moved as a result of a collision.
1. Prepare the vehicle and the work area.
2. Set up the ICC target board. For details, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
3. Adjust the sensor following the procedure on CONSULT-II.
4. Check system operation after the adjustment.
PreparationEKS00BLO

Place the vehicle on level ground. Shift the transmission into "P" position and release the parking brake.

Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.

See that there is no load in the vehicle. Coolant, engine oil and fuel should be filled to correct level.

Check that the vehicle suspension has been adjusted to the standard height by the load leveling rear air
suspension system. Refer to RSU-12, "
Basic Inspection" .

Clean the sensor with a soft cloth.
Setting up the ICC Target BoardEKS00BLP
CAUTION:
Accuracy in setting up the ICC target board is essential for the laser beam aiming adjustment.
For details, refer to Technical Service Bulletin.
ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF THE TARGET
1. Attach a triangle scale as shown.Tool number : KV99110100 (J-45718)

A/T FLUIDPFP:KLE40
Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)ECS00EPX
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new ATF.
Always refill with the same volume as the drained ATF. Use the
ATF level gauge to check the ATF level as shown. Add ATF as
necessary.

To flush out the old ATF from the coolers, pour new ATF into the charging pipe with the engine idling
and at the same time drain the old ATF from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.

When the color of the ATF coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new ATF, flushing out the old ATF is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission ATF used for flushing should be 30% to 50% of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:

Use only the specified ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.

Using an ATF other than the specified ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by
the warranty.

When filling the transmission with ATF, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such
as the exhaust manifold.

Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and tighten the level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the ATF level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)" . If the
ATF is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)ECS00EPY
1. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
2. Before driving, the ATF level can be checked at ATF tempera- tures of 30 ° to 50 °C (86 ° to 122 °F) using the “COLD” range on
the ATF level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the selector lever through each gear position. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
c. Check the ATF level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the ATF level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint-free paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the ATF from the ATF level gauge, always use
a lint-free paper, not a cloth.Drain plug : Refer to
