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 from
the vehicle in front of you and can reduce the
speed to match a 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 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 gradu-
ally. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane
ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly de-
celerates, the distance between vehicles may
become closer because the ICC system cannot
decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this oc-
curs, 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.For additional information, refer to “Approach
warning” in this section.
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 between approxi-
mately 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 the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. 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.
Starting and driving5-61

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 con-
trol 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 ve-
hicle ahead, this system automatically acceler-
ates or decelerates your vehicle according to the
speed of the vehicle ahead. Depress the accel-
erator to properly accelerate your vehicle when
acceleration is required for a lane change. De-
press the brake pedal when deceleration is re-
quired 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.VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE

1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System 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 con-
trol, 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 control-
ling 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 maintain 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. 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 se-
lected distance.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead, the
ICC system gradually accelerates your vehicle to
resume the previously 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 acceleration to
the set vehicle speed or any time the ICC system
is in operation, the system controls the distance
to that vehicle.

Starting and driving5-65

When a vehicle is no longer detected under
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the system will
be canceled.When passing another vehicle,the set speed
indicator
Bwill flash when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle detect indi-
cator 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 the set vehicle speed
To cancel the preset speed: use one of the
following 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 CRUISE ON/OFF switch off. The
ICC indicators 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).
● Push, then quickly release the RES/+
switch. Each time you do this, the set speed
will increase by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h).
LSD2720
5-66Starting and driving

To reset at a slower cruising speed:use one
of the following methods:
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET/– switch and release it.
● Push and hold the SET/– switch. The set
vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h).
● Push, then quickly release the SET/– switch.
Each time you do this, the set speed will
decrease by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
To resume the preset speed: push and re-
lease the RES/+ switch. The vehicle will resume
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 20 mph (32 km/h).
How to change the set distance to the
vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be se-
lected at any time depending on the traffic con-
ditions.
Each time the distance
switchAis
pushed, the set distance will change to long,
middle, short and back to long again, in that
sequence.
Distance Approximate distance at
60 mph (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 200 (60)
2. Middle 150 (45)
3. Short 100 (30)
● The distance to the vehicle ahead will
change according to the vehicle speed. The
higher the vehicle speed, the longer the dis-
tance.
● 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 indicator blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases
when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Some examples are: ● When the vehicles are traveling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing.
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster
and the distance between vehicles is in-
creasing.
● When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when: ● The vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed, overrid-
ing the system. NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may blink when the
ICC 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 ICC sensor may
detect 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 affected 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 automatically canceled:
● When the vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed of
15 mph (24 km/h)
● When the system judges the vehicle is at a
standstill ●
When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or Manual mode
● When the parking brake system is applied
● When the VDC system is turned off
● When ABS or VDC operates
● When distance measurement becomes im-
paired due to adhesion of dirt or obstruction
to the sensor
● When a wheel slips
● When the radar signal is temporarily inter-
rupted
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
● The ICC system is primarily intended 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.
5-68Starting and driving

●The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally 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 system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed
by depressing the brake pedal, depend-
ing on the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circumstances in
order to maintain a safe distance be-
tween vehicles.
● 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 that
the vehicle has come to a standstill and
sound a warning chime. To prevent the
vehicle from moving, the driver must
depress the brake pedal. ●
Always pay attention to the operation 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 distance) or se-
lected 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
conditions:
– 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 bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads – When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.
● 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 unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Always
stay alert and avoid using the ICC sys-
tem where not recommended in this
warning section.
The radar sensor will not detect the following
objects: ● Stationary and slow moving vehicles
● Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
● Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
● Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The sensor generally detects the signals returned
from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the sensor
cannot detect the reflection from the vehicle
ahead, the ICC system may not maintain the
selected distance.
