Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may not
be able to maintain the selected dis-
tance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
The system may not detect the ve-
hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:
On roads with heavy, high-speed
traffic or sharp curves
On slipper y road surfaces such as
on ice or snow, etc.
During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.)
When rain, snow or dirt adhere to
the bumper around the distance
sensor
On steep downhill roads (the ve-
hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
On repeated uphill and downhill
roads
When traffic conditions make it
difficult to keep a proper distance
between vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or
deceleration
Inter ference by other radar sources
In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recommended
in this warning section.
The ICC system will not detect the following
objects:
Stationary or slow moving vehicles
Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel
lane
The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not op-
erate properly:
When the sensor detection is reduced
(conditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust
storms, sandstorms, and road spray from
other vehicles)
Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads
with sharp curves
Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as
an uneven dirt road
If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover-
ing the radar sensor area
A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a
car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is
near the vehicle ahead
Interference by other radar sources
When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of
your vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system.
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the de-
tection zone for the ICC system to maintain
the selected distance from the vehicle
ahead. A vehicle ahead may move outside
of the detection zone due to its position
within the same lane of travel. Motorcycles
may not be detected in the same lane
ahead if they are traveling offset from the
center line of the lane. A vehicle that is en-
tering the lane ahead may not be detected
until the vehicle has completely moved into
the lane.
