The vehicle ahead detection, set distance and set vehicle speed indicator lights (located on the dot matrix display between the tachometer and speedometer) will illuminate in STANDBY mode. -- To Set Cruising Speed: 1 Accelerate to the desired speed. (The system can be set to any speed between 20 and 90 MPH.) 2 Push DOWN on the COAST/SET switch and release it. The indicator light will illuminate. Cruise Control will be set to the desired speed. To Cancel Set Cruising Speed: Press the CRUISE ON/OFF button. Press the CANCEL button. OR Tap the brake pedal. To Set Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance: The distance to the vehicle ahead can be set at any time depending on traffic conditions. Press the Distance button repeatedly to change between long, middle, and short. The distance defaults back to long when the vehicle is started. Long When a vehicle IS NOT detected ahead of you in the lane, the vehicle-tovehicle set distance control mode will maintain the set speed. When a vehicle IS detected ahead of you in the lane, the vehicle-to-vehicle Medium set distance control mode will adjust the set cruising speed range to maintain the set distance. Note: If your vehicle moves closer to the vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle, or Short if another vehicle cuts into the traveling lane, a warning chime will sound and the vehicle distance indicator light will blink. Depress the brake pedal and slow your vehicle to maintain a safe vehicle distance. Automatic Cancellation When your vehicle speed falls below 15 MPH and the ICC system does not detect a vehicle traveling ahead in the same lane and direction, a chime will sound and ICC will be canceled. NOTE: The Intelligent Cruise Control system cannot detect a vehicle already stopped in front of you, and will cancel operation if your vehicle is stopped for more than a few seconds. 17

21 driving controls Fixed Speed-Control Cruise To Set Cruising Speed: 1 While Cruise Control is OFF, press the CRUISE ON/OFF button and hold down for more than 1.5 seconds. The indicator light (located on the dot matrix display between the tachometer and speedometer) will illuminate. 2 Accelerate to the desired speed. 3 Push DOWN on the COAST/SET switch and release it. The CRUISE SET indicator light will illuminate. Cruise Control should be set to the desired speed. To Switch Between the Two Cruise Control Modes: When one of the two cruise modes is in use, you must turn OFF the system, and then turn it ON again (as instructed above) to select the other Cruise Control mode. Note: There are certain conditions under which vehicle-to-vehicle distance-control cannot be set or will automatically cancel. Some conditions are: When rain, snow, or dirt covers the system sensor (located in front bumper opening). When the windshield wiper is operated at low or high speed. When strong light shines directly on the front of the vehicle (e.g. during sunrise or sunset). Distance Control Assist The Distance Control Assist (DCA) system is designed to help reduce driver workload in traffic conditions when following a vehicle traveling ahead in the same lane and direction while vehicle speeds remain fairly constant. When DCA is ON, it can provide accelerator pedal feedback and brake control to decelerate the vehicle to help the driver maintain a safe following distance to the vehicle ahead. The system will signal the driver by applying opposing force against the accelerator pedal, prompting the driver to let off the accelerator pedal and take appropriate action to reestablish a more appropriate safe distance. Initially, a subtle push will be felt as a gentle reminder to maintain a more appropriate distance. If the driver continues closing in on the vehicle ahead, a more insistent double impulse from the pedal plus an audible signal will urge the driver to release the throttle immediately. Upon release of the throttle, DCA will automatically engage the brakes and decelerate the vehicle in order to reestablish a safe distance. In slowing traffic, DCA can bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Note: The DCA system will not apply brake control when the driver is depressing the accelerator pedal. To Turn ON/OFF DCA: 1 Press the DCA button to turn ON the system. The DCA indicator light (located on the dot matrix display between the tachometer and speedometer) will illuminate. 2 Press the DCA button again to turn OFF the system. The DCA indicator light will go out. Note: This system is an aid in which only a portion of braking system capacity is used, and it should not be relied on to stop the vehicle or keep the vehicle stationary. It is the driver s responsibility to always maintain vehicle braking control. 18

22 Lane Departure Warning & Forward Collision Warning (if so equipped) The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system generates visual and audible warnings indicating that your vehicle is about to unintentionally move out of its travel lane. When ON, this system will function only while driving speeds over 45 MPH and when lane markers are clearly visible on the road. If the system detects an unintentional lane departure, the Lane Departure Warning indicator light (located in the tachometer) will illuminate orange and blink, and a repetitive tone will sound. The LDW indicator light and repetitive warning tone will not activate when the turn signal is operated and the vehicle changes travel lanes in the direction of the signal. The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system generates a warning indicator and sounds a chime to warn you when it judges that your vehicle is getting close to a vehicle ahead in the travel lane. When ON, this system will function only at vehicle speeds over 10 MPH. LDW and FCW operate in one of two modes: AUTOMATIC MODE, or MANUAL (OFF) MODE Automatic Mode The LDW and FCW systems are automatically ON when you start the vehicle. The indicator light on the FCW/LDW button will illuminate indicating the system is ON. To Turn OFF LDW and FCW for One Drive ONLY: Press the FCW/LDW button. The indicator light on the button will go out. Manual (OFF) Mode For your convenience, you may choose to manually override the LDW and FCW systems so that they do not turn ON when you start the vehicle. In MANUAL (OFF) mode, there will be no visible or audible warnings when your vehicle is about to move out of its travel lane and/or is getting close to a vehicle ahead in the travel lane.
