radar sensors cannot detect every
object such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, motor-

toy vehicles
- A vehicle that is passing at speeds
greater than approximately

- A vehicle that is passing at speeds
lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain situ-

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL (ICC)
(if so equipped)
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push
and release the SET- switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the
vehicle attains the speed you desire, re-
lease the switch.
• Push and release the RES+ switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed increases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To reset at a slower cruising speed, use
one of the following three methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET- switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET- switch. Release
the switch when the vehicle slows to the
desired speed.
• Push and release the SET- switch. Each
time you do this, the set speed decreases
by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and
release the RES+ switch. The vehicle re-
turns to the last set cruising speed when
