INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.
. The ICC system is only an aid to
assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance
device. It is recommended for
highway use only and it is not
intended for city driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.
. There are limitations to the ICC
system capability. The ICC system
does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them. .
The ICC system does not react to
stationary and slow moving vehi-
cles.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly 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 except in
appropriate road and traffic con-
ditions.
ICC system operation
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 sys-
tem decelerates 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 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
Starting and driving5-77

5-78Starting and driving
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 sounds a warning chime and
blinks the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead.
The ICC system operates as follows:
.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, se-
lected by the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill. Once your vehicle stops,
the ICC system keeps the vehicle
stopped.
. When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically. .
When your vehicle is at a standstill for
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal. The ICC system
starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
. When the vehicle traveling ahead
moves to a different traveling lane,
the ICC system accelerates and main-
tains 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 adjusts 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 accelerates
and maintains the speed up to the set
speed. Pay attention to the driving opera-
tion 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, the system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle
according to the speed of the vehicle
ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly ac-
celerate 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 sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
WAF0057X
System set display with no vehicle detected ahead
No vehicle detected 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.
WAF0058X
System set display with vehicle ahead
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 ICC system
then controls the vehicle speed based on
the speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the ICC system.
. When the brake is applied by the
system, a noise may be heard. This is
not a malfunction.

When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator and the speed control status in-
dicator (distance control mode)
illuminates (solid green
).
Vehicle ahead stops:
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC
system automatically applies the brakes
to keep the vehicle stopped. When your
vehicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press
to start” message is displayed on the
vehicle information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than 3
seconds, your vehicle will automatically
follow the vehicle as it accelerates from
a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates:
When your vehicle is stopped and the
vehicle ahead begins to accelerate, push
the RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal. The ICC system starts
to follow the vehicle ahead.
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 and speed control status indicator
(maintain speed control mode) illumi-
nates (green outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 MPH (24 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.
WAF0059X
When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicatorflashes when the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed.
The vehicle ahead detection indicator
turns off when the area ahead of the
vehicle is open. When the pedal is re-
leased, the vehicle returns to the pre-
viously 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.

Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may
inform the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.
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
and set distance indicator blink.
. You judge it necessary to maintain a
safe distance.
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
flash 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, narrow, or hilly roads
or when the vehicle is 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 conditions
(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 ICC set speed), and the
turn signal is activated to the left, the ICC
system will automatically start to accel-
erate 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 ICC
system 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 depressing
the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
Starting and driving5-81

5-82Starting and driving
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death:
.The ICC system is primarily in-
tended for use on straight, dry,
open roads with light traffic. It is
not advisable to use the ICC
system in city traffic or congested
areas.
. The ICC system will not adapt
automatically 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 vehicle
speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in or-
der to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
. When the ICC system automati-
cally brings the vehicle to a stop, your vehicle can automatically
accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approxi-
mately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance
between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
. 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 with heavy, high-
speed traffic or 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 bumper around the
distance 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
— Interference by other radar sources.
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. Always stay alert and
avoid using the ICC system where
not recommended in this warn-
ing section.
The ICC system will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary or slow moving vehicles
. Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

.Motorcycles traveling offset in the
travel lane
The following are some conditions in
which the radar sensor cannot properly
detect a vehicle ahead and the system
may not operate properly:
. When the sensor detection is reduced
(conditions such as rain, snow, fog,
dust storms, sandstorms, and road
spray from other vehicles)
. Driving on a steep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves
. Driving on a bumpy road surface, such
as an uneven dirt road
. If dirt, ice, snow or other material is
covering the radar sensor area
. A complicated-shaped vehicle such as
a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/
trailer is near the vehicle ahead.
. Interference by other radar sources
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or cargo area
of your vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the ICC system to
maintain the selected distance from the
vehicle ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside of the detection zone due to its
position within the same lane of travel.
Motorcycles may not be detected in the
same lane ahead if they are traveling
offset from the center line of the lane. A
vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.
The ICC system (with ProPILOT assist)
uses a multi-sensing front camera. The
following are some conditions in which
the camera may not properly detect a
vehicle and detection of a vehicle ahead
may be delayed:
.
Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,
snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms,
and road spray from other vehicles)
. The camera area of the windshield is
fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
. Strong light (for example, sunlight or
high beams from oncoming vehicles)
enters the front camera
. A sudden change in brightness occurs
(for example, when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or shaded area or lightning flashes)
