CCS-180
< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >
[ICC (FULL SPEED RANGE)]
NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
• When driving on the freeway at a set speed and approaching a
slower traveling vehicle ahead, the ICC will adjust the speed
to maintain the distance, selected by the driver, from the vehi-
cle ahead. If the vehicle ahead changes lanes or exits the free-
way, the ICC system will accelerate and maintain the speed up
to the set speed. Pay attention to the driving operation to
maintain control of the vehicle as it accelerates to the set
speed. The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on winding
or hilly roads. If this occurs, the driver will have to manually
control the vehicle speed.
• The sensor sensitivity can be affected 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).
• Normally when controlling the distance to a vehicle ahead, this system automatically accelerates or
decelerates own vehicle according to the speed of the vehicle ahead. Depress the accelerator to
properly accelerate own vehicle when acceleration is required for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead due to its sud-
den braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when using the ICC system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
CAUTION:
• In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode, a warning chime does not sound to warn the
driver if own vehicle is too close to the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence of the vehicle ahead
nor the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected.
• Pay special attention to the distance between own vehicle and the vehicle ahead or a collision could
occur.
• Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display.
• Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under the following
conditions:
- when it is not possible to keep the vehicle at a set speed.
- in heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed.
- on winding or hilly roads.
- on slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
- in very windy areas.
• Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in an accident.
• To avoid accidentally engaging cruise control, make sure to the MAIN switch OFF when not using
ICC system.
