HOW TO SELECT THE CRUISE CONTROL MODE

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 brak-

ing 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 be-

tween vehicles may become closer because

the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle

quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system

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.

The system automatically controls the throttle

and applies the brakes (up to approximately

40% of vehicle braking power) if necessary.

Mexico and Australia)

When driving on the freeway at a set speed and

approaching a slower traveling vehicle ahead,

the ICC system will adjust the speed to main-

tain 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 opera-

tion to maintain control of the vehicle as it

accelerates to the set speed.

The system is operated by a CRUISE ON/OFF

switch and four control switches, all mounted

on the steering wheel.

.

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.

2. CANCEL switch:

Deactivates the system without erasing 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.

.

This 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,

steep uphill and downhill, or on icy roads,

in heavy rain or in fog.

As there is a performance limit to the

distance control function, never rely so-

lely on the ICC system. This system does

not correct careless, inattentive or ab-

sent-minded driving, or overcome poor

visibility in rain, fog, or other bad weath-

er. Decelerate the vehicle speed by de-

pressing the brake pedal, depending on

the distance to the vehicle ahead and the

surrounding circumstances in order to

maintain a safe distance between vehi-

cles.

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 vehicle-to-vehicle distance control

mode of the ICC system may not be able

to maintain the selected distance be-

tween vehicles (following distance) or

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 accel-

erate the vehicle. The radar 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 condi-

tion (for example, if a vehicle is being driven

with some damage).

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 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.

.

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:

5-70 Starting and driving

— On roads where the traffic is heavy or

there are sharp curves

.

Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel

lane

— On slippery road surfaces such as on

ice or snow, etc.

The sensor generally detects the signals re-

turned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the

sensor cannot detect the reflection from the

vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not main-

tain the selected distance.

— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the

system sensor

The following are some conditions in which the

sensor cannot detect the signals:

— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle

may go beyond the set vehicle speed

and frequent braking may result in

overheating the brakes)

.

When the snow or road spray from travel-

ing vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility

When excessively heavy baggage is loaded

in the rear seat or the luggage compart-

ment of your vehicle

— 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

.

When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.

(for Australia)

The ICC system is designed to automatically

check the sensor’s operation within the limita-

tion of the system. When the sensor is covered

with dirt or is obstructed, the system will

automatically be canceled. If the sensor is

covered with ice, a transparent or translucent

vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect

them. In these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle

distance control mode may not cancel and

may not be able to maintain the selected

following distance from the vehicle ahead. Be

sure to check and clean the sensor regularly.

— 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 (for Australia).

In some road or traffic conditions,

a

vehicle or object can unexpectedly come

into the sensor detection zone and cause

automatic braking. You may need to

control the distance from other vehicles

using the accelerator pedal. Always stay

alert and avoid using the ICC system

when it is not recommended in this

section.

The radar sensor will not detect the following

objects:

.

Stationary and slow moving vehicles

Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

Starting and driving 5-71

SSD0252

The detection zone of the radar sensor is

limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detec-

tion zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

detection mode to maintain the selected dis-

tance 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 centerline of the lane.

A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead may

not be detected until the vehicle has comple-

tely 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 vehicle traveling ahead.

The ICC and Steering Assist system is not

a replacement for proper driving proce-

dure and is not designed to correct

careless, inattentive or absent-minded

driving. ICC and Steering Assist will not

always steer the vehicle to keep it in the

lane. The ICC and Steering Assist system

is not designed to prevent loss of control.

It is the driver’s responsibility to stay

alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the

travelling lane, and be in control of the

vehicle at all times.

The ICC system can be set to one of two cruise

control modes:

.

Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control

mode:

Used for cruising at a preset speed.

NOTE:

Steering assist is not available in the

conventional (fixed speed) cruise control

mode.

.

There are limitations to the ICC and

Steering Assist system capability. The

ICC and Steering Assist system does not

function in all driving, traffic, weather,

and road conditions. It is the driver’s

responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,

keep the vehicle in the travelling lane,

and be in control of the vehicle at all

times.

The ICC and Steering Assist system is only

an aid to assist the driver and is not a

collision warning or avoidance device.

The ICC and Steering Assist system is for

use on motorways with opposing traffic

separated by a barrier only, and is not

intended for city driving.

.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:

The ICC system maintains a selected dis-

tance from the vehicle in front of you within

the speed range approximately 30 to 170

km/h (20 to 105 MPH) up to the set speed.

The set speed can be selected by the driver

between approximately 30 to 170 km/h (20

to 105 MPH). If your speed falls below

approximately 30 km/h (20 MPH) the ICC

system will cancel with a warning chime

and a notification to the driver.

How to select cruise control modes

(manual transmission model)

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. 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 travelling lane ahead or if a

vehicle travelling 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.

Selecting the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

control mode:

To choose the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-

trol mode, quickly push and release the ICC

ON/ OFF switch.

Selecting the conventional (fixed speed)

cruise control mode:

To choose the conventional (fixed speed) cruise

control mode, push and hold the ICC ON/ OFF

switch for longer than approximately 1.5 sec-

onds.

For the conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-

trol mode, see “Conventional (fixed speed)

cruise control mode (manual transmission
