The following are some conditions in which the sensor cannot detect the signals: ● When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor's detection. ● When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the trunk of your vehicle. The ICC system is designed to automatically check the sensor's operation within the limitation of the system. When the sensor area is covered with dirt or is obstructed, the system will automatically be canceled. If the sensor area is covered with ice, a transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the ICC system may not detect them. In these instances, the ICC system may not cancel and may not be able to maintain the selected following distance from the vehicle ahead. Be sure to check and clean the sensor area around the distance sensor regularly. The ICC system is designed to maintain a selected distance and reduce the speed to match the slower vehicle ahead. The system will decelerate the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However, the ICC system can only apply up to 40% of the vehicle's total braking power. This system should only be used when traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles may become closer because the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the ICC system will sound a warning chime and blink the system display to notify the driver to take necessary action. The system will cancel and a warning chime will sound if the speed is below approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not detected ahead. The system will also disengage when the vehicle goes above the maximum set speed. For additional information, refer to "Approach warning" in this section. 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 20 and 90 MPH (32 and 144 km/h). LSD2249 ICC OPERATION Always pay attention to the operation of the vehicle and be ready to manually control the proper following distance. The ICC system may not be able to maintain the selected distance between vehicles (following distance) or selected vehicle speed under some circumstances. A The Intelligent Cruise Control uses a sensor ᭺ located on the front of the vehicle to detect vehicles traveling ahead. The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the vehicle ahead. Therefore, if the sensor cannot detect the reflection from the vehicle ahead, the ICC system may not maintain the selected distance. 5-36 Starting and driving
