Starting and driving

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 90 mph (40 - 145 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.

To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON/OFF switch ON. The CRUISE indicator light
in the vehicle information display will illuminate.

To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the SET/– switch and
release it. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle maintains the set speed.

● To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-

celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.

● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed

when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.

To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods.

● Push the CANCEL button.
● Tap the brake pedal.
● Push the ON/OFF switch off. The CRUISE

indicator light in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.

The cruise control is automatically canceled if:

● you depress the brake pedal while pushing

the RES/+ or SET/– switch. The preset
speed is deleted from memory.

● the vehicle slows down more than 8 mph

(13 km/h) below the set speed.

● you move the shift lever to N (Neutral).

To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods.

● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the

vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET/– switch.

● Push and hold the RES/+ switch. When the

vehicle attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.

● Push and release the RES/+ switch. Each

time you do this, the set speed increases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one
of the following three 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. Release

the switch when the vehicle slows to the
desired speed.

● Push and release the SET/– switch. Each

time you do this, the set speed decreases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES/+ switch. The vehicle returns to
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).

To turn off the cruise control, use one of the
following three methods.

● Push the CANCEL button.
● Tap the brake pedal.
● Push the ON/OFF switch off. The CRUISE

indicator light in the vehicle information dis-
play goes out.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions 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 the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.

● Always observe posted speed limits

and do not set the speed over them.

● Always drive carefully and attentively

when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly 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 emer-
gency situations. Do not use the ICC
system except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.

The ICC system is intended to enhance the op-
eration of the vehicle when following a vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.

The ICC system uses a radar sensor

䊊

located

on the front of the vehicle to detect vehicles
traveling ahead.

If the radar sensor detects a slower moving ve-
hicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle
speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front at the selected distance.

The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390ft (120 m) ahead.

LSD2249

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(if so equipped)

5-42

Starting and driving

ICC SYSTEM OPERATION

The ICC system maintains a selected distance
from the vehicle in front of you within the speed
range 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144km/h) up to the set
speed. The set speed can be selected by the
driver between 20 to 90 mph (32 to 144 km/h),
based on road conditions.

The vehicle travels at the set speed when the
road ahead is clear.

The ICC system is designed to maintain a se-
lected 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.

LSD2517

Starting and driving

5-43

For additional information, refer to “Approach
warning” in this section.

The following items are controlled in the ICC
system:

● 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, 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 sys-
tem 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 ICC system
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.

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.

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.
