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 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 speed of a slower
vehicle ahead; the system decelerates the ve-
hicle as necessary. However, the ICC system can
only apply up to 25% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain
fairly constant or 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.
The system will cancel and a warning chime will
sound if the speed falls below approximately 20
MPH (32km/h). The system will also disengage
below the 20 MPH (32km/h) cut-off speed or
over the maximum set speed.
Refer to “Approach warning” later in this section.
The following items are controlled when the se-
lector lever is in any D (Drive) position.
●
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 approxi-
mately 25 and 89 MPH (40 and 144 km/h).
●
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. The adjusting speed range is be-
tween approximately 20 MPH (32 km/h) and
the set speed.
●
When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved
out from its lane of travel, the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode accelerates
and maintains 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.
