342 Starting and driving
status indicator (maintain speed control mode)
turn off.
The ICC system gradually accelerates to the
vehicle set speed, but you can depress the accel-
erator pedal to quickly accelerate. When a vehicle
is no longer detected and your vehicle is travelling
under approximately 25 km/h (15 MPH), the ICC
system automatically cancels.
The ICC system cancels and a chime sounds if your
vehicle is at a standstill for more than approxi-
mately 3 seconds and a vehicle is not detected
ahead.

When passing another vehicle, the vehicle set
speed indicator
flashes when the vehicle speed
exceeds the set speed. The vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator turns off when the area ahead of the
vehicle is open. When the pedal is released, the
vehicle returns 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.
Approach warning
MEVT33A1-0C918255-CF2D-4A25-BAA9-F864DFAEDCEE
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead
due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if
another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the
driver with the chime and ICC system display.
Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to
maintain a safe vehicle distance if:
* The chime sounds.
* The vehicle ahead detection indicator blinks.
* You judge it necessary to maintain a safe
distance.
The warning chime may not sound in some cases
when there is a short distance between vehicles.
Some examples are:
* When the vehicles are travelling at the same
speed and the distance between vehicles is
not changing.
* When the vehicle ahead is travelling faster and
the distance between vehicles is increasing.
* When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when:
* Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that
are parked or moving slowly.
* The accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding
the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may flash when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the vehicle
or on the side of the road. This may cause the
ICC system to decelerate or accelerate the
vehicle. The radar sensor may detect these
objects when the vehicle is driven on winding,
narrow, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is
entering or exiting a curve. In these cases, you
will have to manually control the proper dis-
tance ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering manoeuvre or driv-
ing position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle
conditions (for example, if a vehicle is being
driven with some damage).
Acceleration when passing (where fitted)
MEVT33A1-0508E008-E730-4916-AC39-9A366BE948DB
Passing on the left-hand side (for countries
where traffic travels on the right-hand side of
the road):
When the ICC system is engaged above 70 km/h
(44 MPH) and following a slower vehicle (below the
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is activated to
the left, the ICC system will automatically start to
accelerate the vehicle to help initiate passing on
the left and will begin to reduce the distance to
vehicle directly ahead. Only the left side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers the
vehicle and moves into the passing lane, if no
vehicle is detected ahead the ICC system will
continue to accelerate to the vehicle set speed. If
another vehicle is detected ahead, then the vehicle
will accelerate up to the following speed of that
vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the left
lane to pass, the acceleration will stop after a short
time and regain the set following distance. Accel-
eration can be stopped at any point by depressing
the brake pedal or the <CANCEL> switch on the
steering wheel.
