Pay attention to the driving operation to

maintain control of the vehicle as it accelerates

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 fromvehicles ahead when

approaching toll gates or traffic congestion.

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 and

change gear as required.

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.

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.

Vehicle detected ahead:

When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead

When a vehicle is no longer detected the

vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.

,

the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by

controlling 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. Gear

shifting may be required depending on condi-

tions.

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.

How to switch the ICC system off:

Switch off ICC completely by turning the ICC

ON/ OFF switch off. The ICC indicators will go

out.

When the vehicle speed is under approximately

30 km/h (20 MPH), the system will be cancelled.

.

The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-

riding 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 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.

JVS0966X

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by

vehicle operation (steering manoeuvre or driv-

ing position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle

condition (for example, if a vehicle is being

driven with some damage).

.

The distance to the vehicle ahead will

change according to the vehicle speed.

The higher the vehicle speed, the longer

the distance.

Every time ICC is switched on with the ICC

ON/ OFF switch, the distance will default to

A chime sounds under the following conditions

and the control is automatically cancelled.

When the ICC system is engaged above 70

km/h (43 MPH) and following a slower vehicle

(below ICC set speed), and the turn signal is

activated to the right, the ICC system will

automatically start to accelerate the vehicle

to help initiate passing on the right and will

begin to reduce the distance to vehicle directly

ahead. Only the right 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 right lane to pass, the acceleration will stop

after a short time and regain the set following

cumstances.

WARNING:

In order to reduce the risk of a collision that

may result in serious injury or death, please

be aware of the following:

Starting and driving 5-87

.

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:

.

Stationary and slow moving vehicles

Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

Motorcycles and other vehicles travelling

offset in the travel lane

— On roads where the traffic is heavy or

The sensor generally detects the signals re-

turned fromthe vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the

sensor cannot detect the reflection fromthe

vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not main-

tain the selected distance.

there are sharp curves

— On slippery road surfaces such as on

ice or snow, etc.

— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,

etc.)

The following are some conditions in which the

sensor cannot detect the signals:

— When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the

system sensor

.

When snow or road spray from travelling

vehicles reduces the sensor’s visibility

— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle

may go beyond the set vehicle speed

and frequent braking may result in

overheating the brakes)

When excessively heavy baggage is loaded

in the rear seat or the luggage compart-

ment of your vehicle

.

When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.

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 cancelled. If the sensor is

covered with ice, a transparent or translucent

vinyl bag, etc., the ICCsystemmay not detect

them. In these instances, the vehicle-tovehicle

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.

— 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

.

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.

Do not use the ICC system if you are

towing a trailer or another vehicle.

The radar sensor will not detect the following

objects:

5-88 Starting and driving

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

travelling offset from the center line 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 travelling ahead.
