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
ON/OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle
to the desired speed, push the COAST/SET
switch and release it. The SET indicator in the
vehicle information display will illuminate.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle 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 SET indi- cator in the vehicle information display
goes out. ∙ Tap the brake pedal; the SET indicator
goes out.
∙ Push the ON/OFF switch off. Both the CRUISE indicator and SET indicator in
the vehicle information display go out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the SET indicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display goes out if: ∙ You depress the brake pedal while push- ing the ACCEL/RES or COAST/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 COAST/SET switch.
∙ Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you
desire, release the switch. ∙ Push and release the ACCEL/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 COAST/SET switch and release it.
∙ Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Release the switch when the vehicle
slows to the desired speed.
∙ Push and release the COAST/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 ACCEL/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. The ICC system is intended to enhance the
operation of the vehicle when following a
vehicle traveling in the same lane and direc-
tion.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
Alo-
cated on the front of the vehicle to detect
vehicles traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the ve-
hicle speed so that your vehicle follows the
vehicle in front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.

ICC SYSTEM OPERATION
The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the
speed range 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up
to the set speed. The set speed can be se-
lected by the driver between 20 to 90 mph
(32 to 144 km/h), based on road conditions.
The vehicle travels at the set speed when the
road ahead is clear.
The ICC system 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 decel-
erate the vehicle as necessary and if the ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle de-
celerates to a standstill. However, the ICC
system can only apply up to 40% of the vehi-
cle’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
LSD3139
Starting and driving5-81

will sound a warning chime and blink the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
For additional information, refer to “Ap-
proach warning” in this section.
The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:∙ When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The set speed
range is between approximately 20 and
90 mph (32 and 144 km/h).
∙ When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the
driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the limi-
tations of the system. 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 ICC
system 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.
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.
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
SSD0254
5-82Starting and driving

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.
ICC (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 system is intended to enhance the opera-
tion of the vehicle when following a vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the ve-
hicle 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 approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.Preview Function
The ICC system with the Preview Function
identifies the need to apply emergency brak-
ing by sensing a vehicle ahead in the same
lane, and the distance and relative speed
from it. The system applies the brake pre-
pressure before the driver depresses the
brake pedal and helps improve brake re-
sponse by reducing pedal free play.
∙ This system will not operate when the vehicle is moving at approximately
20 mph (32 km/h) or less.
∙ The pre-pressure function ceases when the following conditions are met:
– When the driver depresses the accel- erator pedal or the brake pedal.
– If the driver does not operate the ac- celerator or brake pedal within ap-
proximately 1 second. ∙ The sensor will not detect:
– Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
– Motorcycles traveling offset in thetravel lane as illustrated
WARNING
∙ This system is only an aid to assist brak-ing operation and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
SSD0338
Starting and driving5-83

∙ As there is a performance limit to the Pre-view Function, never rely solely on this
system. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absentminded
driving, or overcome poor visibility in
rain, fog, or other bad weather. Reduce
vehicle speed by depressing the brake
pedal, in order to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
∙ The system may not detect the vehicle in front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. The Preview Function may
not operate properly under the following
conditions. The vehicle is still driveable
under normal conditions and the Brake
Assist will operate.
– When rain or snow adhere to the bum- per around the distance sensor.
– Vehicle position in the lane may cause the sensor to temporarily not detect a
vehicle in the same lane or may detect
objects or vehicles in other lanes.
Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode
This mode allows driving at a speed between
20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
∙ In the conventional (fixed speed) cruisecontrol mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence
of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
∙ Pay special attention to the distance be- tween your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
of you or a collision could occur.
∙ Always confirm the setting in the Intelli- gent Cruise Control system display.
∙ Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under
the following conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the ve- hicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
– On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
– In very windy areas
∙ Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident.
