pushing the ACCELERATE/RESUME or
COAST/SET switch and reset at the
cruising speed, the cruise control will
disengage. Turn the MAIN switch off
once and then turn it on again.
. The cruise control will automatically
cancel if the vehicle slows more than 8
MPH (13 km/h) below the set speed.
. If you move the shift lever to N
(Neutral) position, the cruise control
will be canceled. To reset at a faster cruising speed,
use
one of the following methods:
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the COAST/SET
switch.
. Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RE-
SUME switch. When the vehicle attains
the speed you desire, release the
switch.
. Push, then quickly release the ACCEL-
ERATE/RESUME switch. Each time you
do this, the set speed will increase by
about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following methods:
. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed,
push the COAST/SET switch and re-
lease it.
. Push and hold the COAST/SET switch.
Release the switch when the vehicle
slows down to the desired speed.
. Push, then quickly release the COAST/
SET switch. Each time you do this, the
set speed will decrease by about 1
MPH (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.ICC is not a collision avoidance or
warning device. For highway use
only and it is not intended for
congested areas or city driving.
Failure to apply the brakes could
result in an accident.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using either cruise
control mode. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the cruise
control. 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
cruise control except in appropri-
ate road and traffic conditions.
. In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control 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 vehi-
cle 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 distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you up to the preset speed.
. Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode:
For cruising at a preset speed.

VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the ICC system automatically
maintains 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.
JVS0913X
The system is intended to enhance the
operation 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 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
approximately 40% of vehicle braking
power) if necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.
Starting and driving5-71

a vehicle ahead, this system automati-
cally accelerates or decelerates your ve-
hicle according to the speed of the
vehicle ahead. Depress the accelerator
to properly accelerate your vehicle when
acceleration is required for a lane change.
Depress the brake pedal when decelera-
tion is required to maintain a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to its
sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in.
Always stay alert when using the ICC
system.

SSD1105
When the COAST/SET switch is pushed
under the following conditions, the sys-
tem cannot be set and the ICC indicators
will blink for approximately 2 seconds:
. When traveling below 20 MPH (32
km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not
detected
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the brakes are operated by the
driver
Starting and driving5-75

SSD1107
System set display with vehicle ahead
System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the set vehicle speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead.
The ICC system displays the set speed.
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the
vehicle by controlling the throttle and
applying the brakes to match the speed
of a slower vehicle ahead. The system
then controls the vehicle speed based onthe speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.
The stoplights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the ICC system.
. When the brake operates, a noise
may be heard and/or vibration may
be felt. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on. The ICC system will also display the
set speed and selected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the pre-
viously set vehicle speed. The ICC
system then maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns
off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accel-
eration to the set vehicle speed or any
time the ICC system is in operation, the
system controls the distance to that
vehicle.
When a vehicle is no longer detected
under approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h),
the system will be canceled.

tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead of you or a
collision could occur.
. Always confirm the setting in the
ICC 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 vehicle 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 control and result in an acci-
dent.
