5-84 Starting and driving
the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode of the ICC system may not be able
to maintain the selected distance be-
tween vehicles (following distance) or
selected vehicle speed under some
circumstances.
. The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never use
the ICC system under the following
conditions:
—
On roads where the traffic is heavy
or there are sharp curves
—
On slippery road surfaces such as
on ice or snow, etc.
—
During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)
—
When rain, snow or dirt adhere to
the system sensor
—
On steep downhill roads (the vehi-
cle may go beyond the set vehicle
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
. In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly come
into the sensor detection zone and cause
automatic braking. You may need to
control the distance from other vehicles
using the accelerator pedal. Always stay
alert and avoid using the ICC 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 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.
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 trunk of
your vehicle
The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s operation within
the limitation of the system. When the
sensor is covered with dirt or is obstructed,
the system will automatically be canceled.
If the sensor is covered with ice, a
transparent or translucent vinyl bag, etc.,
the ICC system may not detect them. In
these instances, the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode 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
regularly.
