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 indicator
blinks.
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).
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 (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) position or manual shift mode .
When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When 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
