Function Description
The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle traveling in front of own vehicle according to that vehicle's speed (up to the set speed) or at the set speed when the road ahead is clear.
With ICC system, the driver can maintain the same speed as other vehicles without the constant need to adjust the set speed as the driver would with a normal cruise control system.
The following items are controlled in the ICC system:
- When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the ICC system maintains the speed set by the driver. The set speed range is between approximately 32 and 144 km/h (20 and 90 MPH).
- When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain the distance, selected by driver, from a vehicle ahead. The adjusting speed range is up to the set speed.
- When the vehicle traveling ahead has moved from its lane of travel, the ICC system accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up to the set speed.
CAUTION:
If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within the limitations of the system. The system will cancel once it judges that the vehicle has come to a standstill and sound a warning chime.
To prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
NOTE:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the brake operation and the warning are not performed by the ICC system.
