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. Fail-
ure to apply the brakes could result
in an accident.
.The ICC system is only an aid to
assist the driver. It is the driver’s
responsibility 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 atten-
tively when using either cruise con-
trol mode. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly 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 inemergency situations. Do not use
cruise control except in appropriate
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 vehicle 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 be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you up to the preset speed..Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
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.
JVS1041X
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
*Adetects 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 approxi-
mately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
operation
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is
designed to maintain a selected distance and
reduce the speed to match the slower vehicle
ahead. The system will decelerate the vehicle as
necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill.
However, the ICC system can only apply up to
approximately 40% of the vehicle’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 between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system cannot
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the ICC system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning chime will
sound if the speed is below approximately 15
MPH (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected
ahead. The system will also disengage when the
vehicle goes above the maximum set speed.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-69).The following items are controlled in the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance control mode:
.When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
maintains the speed set by the driver. The
set speed range is the following speed.
— 20 and 90 MPH (32 and 144 km/h)
.When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
adjusts the speed to maintain the distance,
selected by driver, from the vehicle ahead.
The adjusting speed range is up to the set
speed. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations 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
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed
up to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle speed
or warn you when you approach stationary and
slow moving vehicles. You must pay attention to
vehicle operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead when approaching toll
gates or traffic congestion.
SSD0254
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.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on
winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you will
have to manually control the vehicle speed.
Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, this system automatically accel-

erates or decelerates your vehicle 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 deceleration is
required to maintain a safe distance to the
vehicle ahead due to its sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using the
ICC system.
