To turn on the cruise control, quickly push and release the CRUISE ON/OFF switch . The ICC system ON indicator (gray), set distance indicator and set vehicle speed indicator come on in a standby state for setting. If the Cruise Control Alerts are enabled in the Driver Assistance menu, then the “Cruise ON: Press SET to engage speed and distance control” message will appear in the vehicle information display.

This message will disappear after about 6 seconds, or can be dismissed by pushing the OK button. Cruise control status will continue to display in the upper right corner of the vehicle information display while the system is on.

To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle to the desired speed, push the SET/– switch and release it.The ICCsystem set indicator (green), vehicle ahead detection indicator, set distance indicator and set vehicle speed indicator will come on. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will maintain the set speed.

If the Cruise Control Alerts are enabled in the Driver Assistance menu, then the “Target Speed SET with Intelligent Distance Control” message will appear in the vehicle information display when the SET/– switch is pushed. This message will disappear after about 6 seconds, or can be dismissed by pushing the OK button. Cruise control status will continue to display in the upper right corner of the vehicle information display while the system is on.

When the SET/– switch is pushed under the following conditions, the system cannot be set and the ICC indicators will blink for approximately 2 seconds:

• When traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) and a vehicle ahead is not detected
• Whenthe shift lever is not in theD(Drive) or Manual mode
• When the parking brake is applied
• When the brakes are operated by the driver

When the SET/– switch is pushed under the following conditions, the system cannot be set.

Awarning chime will sound and a message will pop up:

System set display with vehicle ahead

System set display without vehicle ahead

The driver sets the desired vehicle speed based on the road conditions. The ICC system maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system displays the set speed.

Vehicle detected ahead

When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, 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.

NOTE:

The stop lights of the vehicle comeon when braking is performed by the ICC system.

Whenthe brake operates,a noisemay be heard. This is not a malfunction.

When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC system will also display the set speed and selected distance.

Vehicle ahead not detected

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.

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.

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.

When a vehicle is no longer detected under approximately 15 mph (24 km/h), the system will be canceled.

When passing another vehicle, the set speed indicator will flash when the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed. The vehicle 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.

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.
