DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST (DCA) SYSTEM (if so equipped) PREVIEW FUNCTION (for Intelligent Cruise Control system equipped models) The ICC system with the preview function identifies the need to apply emergency braking by sensing the vehicle ahead in the same lane and the distance to the vehicle ahead and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before the driver depresses the brake pedal and helps improve brake response by reducing pedal free play. For more details, see "BRAKE ASSIST" later in this section. The Distance Control Assist (DCA) system brakes and moves the accelerator pedal upward according to the distance from and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance. WARNING ● Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Distance Control Assist system. Read and understand the Owner's Manual thoroughly before using the DCA system. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to prevent accidents or to control the vehicle's speed in emergency situations. Do not use the Distance Control Assist system except in appropriate road and traffic conditions. ● If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill within the limitations of the system. The system will cancel once it judges that the vehicle has come to a standstill with a warning chime. To prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal. ● The DCA system will not apply brake control while the driver's foot is on the accelerator pedal. SSD0738 PRECAUTIONS ON DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST SYSTEM The system is intended to assist the driver to keep a following distance from the vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane and direction. If the distance sensor A detects a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle speed to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance. The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if necessary. The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
