I-DC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions of the I-DC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. This system will not adapt auto-
matically to road conditions. Do
not use the system on roads with
sharp curves, or on icy roads, in
heavy rain or in fog.
. The I-DC system will not apply
brake control while the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the I-DC
system. This system does not
correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving, or over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate
the vehicle speed by depressing
the brake pedal, depending on
the distance to the vehicle ahead
and the surrounding circum-
stances in order to maintain a
safe distance between vehicles.
. The system may not detect the
vehicle in front of you in certain
road or weather conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the I-
DC system under the following
conditions:
— On roads with sharp curves
— On slippery road surfaces
such as on ice or snow, etc.
— On off-road surfaces such as
on sand or rock, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.)
— When rain, snow or dirt adhere
to the system sensor
— On steep downhill roads (fre-
quent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down-
hill roads
— When towing a trailer or other
vehicle
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. You may need to control
the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using
the I-DC system when it is not
recommended in this section.
The radar sensor will not detect the
following objects:
. Stationary and 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 sensor cannot detect the
signals:
. When the snow or road spray from
traveling vehicles reduces the sensor’s
visibility
. When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle
