VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE  
CONTROL MODE OPERATION  
For additional information, refer to “Ap-  
proach warning” in this section.  
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 de-  
celerate 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.  
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 be-  
tween approximately 20 and 90 mph (32  
and 144 km/h).  
This system should only be used when traf-  
fic conditions allow vehicle speeds to re-  
main fairly constant or when vehicle  
• 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 sys-  
tem. The system will cancel once it judges  
a standstill with a warning chime.  
speeds change gradually. If  
a
vehicle  
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a  
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,  
the distance between vehicles may be-  
come closer because the ICC system can-  
not decelerate the vehicle quickly enough.  
If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a  
warning chime and blink the system dis-  
play to notify the driver to take necessary  
action.  
• 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 system will cancel and a warning  
chime will sound if the speed is below ap-  
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle  
is not detected ahead. The system will also  
5-72 Starting and driving  
Normally when controlling the distance to  
a vehicle ahead, this system automatically  
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-  
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.  
Depress the accelerator to properly accel-  
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-  
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake  
pedal when deceleration is required to  
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle  
ahead due to its sudden braking or if a  
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when us-  
ing the ICC system.  
LSD2892  
LSD2893  
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 main-  
tain the speed up to the set speed. Pay  
attention to the driving operation to main-  
tain control of the vehicle as it accelerates  
to the set speed.  
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE  
CONTROL MODE SWITCHES  
The system is operated by the ICC switch  
and four control switches, all mounted on  
the steering wheel.  
1. CANCEL switch:  
Deactivates the system without erasing  
the set speed.  
2. RES+ switch:  
The vehicle may not maintain the set

Vehicle ahead not detected  
1. System set display with vehicle ahead  
When a vehicle is no longer detected  
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-  
ates your vehicle to resume the previously  
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then  
maintains the set speed.  
2. System set display without vehicle ahead  
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed  
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-  
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi-  
lar to standard cruise control, as long as no  
vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The  
ICC system displays the set speed.  
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the  
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.  
If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-  
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the  
ICC system is in operation, the system con-  
trols the distance to that vehicle.  
Vehicle detected ahead  
When a vehicle is detected in the lane  
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-  
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-  
ing the brakes to match the speed of a  
slower vehicle ahead. The system then  
When a vehicle is no longer detected under  
approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the sys-  
tem will be canceled.

vehicle speed will decrease by approxi-  
mately 5 mph (5 km/h).  
How to change the set vehicle  
speed  
• 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 cancel the preset speed, use one of the  
following methods:  
• Push the CANCEL switch. The set vehicle  
speed indicator will go out.  
To resume the preset speed, push and  
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle will  
resume the last set cruising speed when  
the vehicle speed is over 20 mph (32 km/h).  
Tap the brake pedal. The set vehicle  
speed indicator will go out.  
Turn the ICC 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 SETswitch.  
When passing another vehicle, the set  
B
speed indicator  
will flash when the ve-  
O
hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-  
hicle detect indicator 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.  
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set  
vehicle speed will increase by approxi-  
mately 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).  
Even though your vehicle speed is set in the  
ICC system, you can depress the accelera-  
tor pedal when it is necessary to accelerate  
your vehicle rapidly.  
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  
SETswitch and release it.  
Starting and driving 5-77  
Approach warning  
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle  
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-  
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-  
tem warns the driver with the chime and  
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-  
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-  
hicle distance if:  
• The chime sounds.  
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator  
blinks.

5-78 Starting and driving  
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 accel-  
erate up to the following speed of that ve-  
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the  
left lane to pass, the acceleration will stop  
after a short time and regain the set follow-  
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped  
at any point by depressing the brake pedal  
or the CANCEL switch on the steering  
wheel.  
NOTE:  
Always manually steer or brake as  
needed  
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.  
Never solely rely on the system  
Automatic cancellation  
A chime sounds under the following condi-  
tions and the control is automatically can-  
celed:  
• 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  
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-  
fected 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).  
• When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive)  
position or B mode  
WARNING  
In order to reduce the risk of a collision  
that may result in serious injury or  
death, please be aware of the following:  
• When the parking brake system is applied  
• When the VDC system is turned off  
• When VDC operates  
This function is only activated with  
the left turn signal and will briefly ac-  
celerate the vehicle even if a lane  
change is not initiated. This can in-  
clude non-passing situations such as  
left side exits.  
• When distance measurement becomes  
impaired due to adhesion of dirt or ob-  
struction to the sensor  
Acceleration when passing  
When the ICC system is engaged above 43  
mph and following a slower vehicle (below  
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-  
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-  
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to  
help initiate passing on the left and will  
begin to reduce the distance to the vehicle  
directly ahead. Only the left side turn signal  
• When a wheel slips  
• When the radar signal is temporarily in-

vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-  
fore initiating the pass. Sudden  
changes in traffic may occur while  
passing.  
Starting and driving 5-79  
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE  
CONTROL MODE LIMITATIONS  
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 over-  
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or  
other bad weather. Decelerate the  
vehicle speed by depressing the  
brake pedal, depending on the dis-  
tance to the vehicle ahead and the  
surrounding circumstances in order  
to maintain a safe distance between  
vehicles.  
The system may not detect the ve-  
hicle in front of you in certain road or  
weather conditions. To avoid acci-  
dents, never use the ICC system un-  
der the following conditions:  
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 seri-  
ous injury or death.  
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.)  
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.  
When rain, snow or dirt adhere to  
the bumper around the distance  
sensor  
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 stand-  
still and sound a warning chime. To  
prevent the vehicle from moving, the  
driver must depress the brake pedal.  
On steep downhill roads (the ve-  
hicle may go beyond the set ve-  
hicle speed and frequent braking  
may result in overheating the  
brakes)  
The ICC system will not adapt auto-  
matically 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.  
On repeated uphill and downhill  
roads  
Always pay attention to the opera-  
tion of the vehicle and be ready to  
manually control the proper follow-  
ing distance. The ICC system may not  
be able to maintain the selected dis-  
tance between vehicles (following  
distance) or selected vehicle speed  
under some circumstances.  
When traffic conditions make it  
difficult to keep a proper distance  
between vehicles because of fre-  
quent  
deceleration  
acceleration  
or  
Interference by other radar  
sources.  
5-80 Starting and driving  
The following are some conditions in which  
the sensor cannot properly detect a ve-  
hicle ahead and the system may not oper-  
ate properly:  
The detection zone of the radar sensor is  
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-  
tection zone for the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-  
tance detection mode to maintain the se-  
lected distance from the vehicle ahead.  
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. Al-  
ways stay alert and avoid using the  
ICC system where not recommended  
in this warning section.  
• When snow or road spray from traveling  
vehicles reduces the sensor’s detection.  
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.  
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.  
• When excessively heavy baggage is  
loaded in the rear seat or the cargo area  
of your vehicle.  
The radar sensor will not detect the follow-  
ing objects:  
The ICC system is designed to automati-  
cally check the sensor’s operation within  
the limitations of the system.  
• Stationary and slow moving vehicles  
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway  
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane  
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.  
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 dis-  
tance away from the vehicle traveling  
ahead.  
• 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.

5-82 Starting and driving  
LSD2899  
When driving on some roads, such as wind-  
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads  
which are under construction, the ICC sen-  
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane,  
or may temporarily not detect a vehicle  
traveling ahead. This may cause the ICC  
system to decelerate or accelerate the ve-  
hicle.  
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn  
you by blinking the system indicator and  
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You  
will have to manually control the proper  
distance away from the vehicle traveling  
ahead.  
The detection of vehicles may also be af-  
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-  
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)  
or vehicle condition.
