System set display with vehicle aheadSystem 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 on the 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 (25 km/h),
the system will be canceled.
WAF0309X
When passing another vehicle,the set
speed indicator will flash when the vehicle
speed exceeds the set speed. The vehicle
detect indicator will turn off when the
area ahead of the vehicle is open. When
the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the previously set speed.
Even though your vehicle speed is set in
the ICC system, you can depress the
accelerator pedal when it is necessary to
accelerate your vehicle rapidly.
How to change set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed, use any of
these methods:
. Push the CANCEL switch. The set
vehicle speed indicator will go out.
. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the
MAIN switch indicator and set vehicle
speed indicator will go out.
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 SET- switch.
. Push and hold the RES+ switch. The
set vehicle speed will increase by
approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for
Canada).
. Push, then quickly release the RES+
switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed will increase by approximately 1
MPH (1 km/h for Canada).
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 SET- switch and release it.
. Push and hold the SET- switch. The
set vehicle speed will decrease by
approximately 5 MPH (5 km/h for

.The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle
speed. The higher the vehicle speed,
the longer the distance.
. If the engine is stopped, the set
distance becomes “long”. (Each time
the engine is started, the initial setting
becomes “long”.)Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the
system warns the driver with the chime
and ICC system display. Decelerate by
depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
.
The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection and set
distance indicator blink.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween vehicles is not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your
vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehi-
cles that are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may
sound and the system display may
blink when the radar sensor detects
objects on the side of the vehicle or on
the side of the road. This may cause the
ICC system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads,

hilly roads or when entering or exiting a
curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected 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).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
44 MPH (70 km/h) and following a slower
vehicle (below the vehicle set speed), and
the turn signal is activated to the left, the
ICC system will automatically start to
accelerate the vehicle to help initiate
passing on the left and will begin to
reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the
ICC system will continue to accelerate to
the vehicle set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will
accelerate up to the following speed of
that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered
into the left lane to pass, the acceleration
will stop after a short time and regain the
set following distance. Acceleration can
be stopped at any point by depressingthe brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a
collision that may result in serious
injury or death, please be aware of
the following:
.
This function is only activated
with the left turn signal and will
briefly accelerate the vehicle even
if a lane change is not initiated.
This can include non-passing si-
tuations such as left side exits.
. Ensure that when passing an-
other vehicle, the adjacent lane
is clear before initiating the pass.
Sudden changes in traffic may
occur while passing. Always
manually steer or brake as
needed. Never solely rely on the
system.
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following
conditions and the control is automati-
cally canceled.
.When the vehicle ahead is not de-
tected and your vehicle is traveling
below the speed of 15 MPH (25 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the SNOW mode switch is
pushed on.
. When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H
or 4L position (for 4WD models)
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor
. When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. This
system should be used in evenly
flowing traffic. Do not use the
system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy
rain or in fog.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other
bad weather. Decelerate the ve-
hicle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill within the limitations of
the system. The system will can-
cel once it judges that the vehicle
has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To pre-
vent the vehicle from moving, the
driver must depress the brake
pedal.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode of the ICC system may
not be able to maintain the se-
lected distance between vehicles
(following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some cir-
cumstances.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions: — On roads where the traffic is
heavy or there are sharp
curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set
vehicle speed and frequent
braking may result in over-
heating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
. Do not use the ICC system if you
are towing a trailer. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control

To set cruising speed,accelerate your
vehicle to the desired speed, push the
SET- switch and release it. (The color of
the cruise indicator changes to green and
set vehicle speed indicator comes on.)
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.
. To pass another vehicle, depress the
accelerator pedal. When you release
the pedal, the vehicle will return to the
previously set speed.
. The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed when going up or down steep
hills. If this happens, manually main-
tain vehicle speed. To cancel the preset speed,
use any of
the following methods:
1. Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
2. Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle speed indicator will turn off.
3. Turn the MAIN switch off. Both the MAIN switch indicator and set vehicle
speed indicator will turn off.
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
1. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed,
push and release the SET- switch.
2. Push and hold the RES+ set switch. When the vehicle attains the speed
you desire, release the switch.
3. Push, then quickly release the RES+ 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 three methods:
1. Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed,
push the SET- switch and release it.
2. Push and hold the SET- switch. Re- lease the switch when the vehicle
slows down to the desired speed. 3. Push, then quickly release the 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 RES+ switch. The vehicle will
resume the last set cruising speed when
the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40
km/h).

AEB with pedestrian detection system
operates at speeds between 6 – 37 MPH
(10 – 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with pedestrian detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the
driver by flashing the vehicle ahead
detection indicator (yellow) in the vehicle
information display and providing an
audible alert. In addition, the system
applies partial braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
with pedestrian detection system detects
that there is still the possibility of a
forward collision, the system will auto-
matically increase the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with pedestrian detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red) and
audible warning. Then the system applies
partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes immi-
nent, the AEB with pedestrian detection
system applies harder braking automati-
cally.
While the AEB with pedestrian detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with pedes-
trian detection system is operating prop-erly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB with
pedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle or pedestrian ahead, as well
as driving and roadway conditions, the
system may help the driver avoid a
forward collision or may help mitigate
the consequences of a collision should
one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB
with pedestrian detection system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under
the following conditions:
.
When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle,
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the AEB with pedestrian detection
system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
When the brake pedal is depressed while the brake is applied by the system, you
may feel the pedal effort is changed and
may hear a sound and vibration noise.
This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. In addition, the braking force
can be increased by adding the pedal
effort.
