O
When the reflector of the vehicle
ahead is covered with dirt, snow and
road spray
O
When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
O
When dense exhaust or other smoke
(black smoke) from vehicles reduces
the sensor’s visibility
O
When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the trunk of
your vehicle
O
When your vehicle is towing a trailer,
etc.
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation. When
the sensor is covered with dirt or ob-
structs, 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.
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. How-
ever, the ICC system can only apply up to
25% of the vehicles 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 traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly deceler-
ates, 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 sys-
tem display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
The system will cancel and a warning
chime will sound if the speed falls below
approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h). The
system will also disengage below the 20
MPH (32 km/h) cut-off speed or over the
maximum set speed.
Refer to “Approach warning” later in this
section.
The following items are controlled in the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
O
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 approximately 25 and 90
MPH (40 and 144 km/h).
O
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 ad-
justing speed range is between ap-
proximately 20 MPH (32 km/h) and up
to the set speed.
O
When the vehicle traveling ahead has
moved out from its lane of travel, the
vehicle-to-vehicle
distance
control
mode accelerates and maintains ve-
hicle 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.
