APPROACH WARNING DISPLAY 

If own vehicle comes closer to a vehicle ahead due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the system warns the driver with the chime and ICC system display. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:

The warning chime may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some examples are:

The warning chime will not sound when own vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.

The warning chime will not sound when the accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding the system.

The approach warning chime may sound and the system display may blink when the ICC sensor detects some reflectors which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes or on the side of the road.

This may cause the ICC system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.

The distance sensor (ICC sensor) may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve.

The distance sensor (ICC sensor) may also detect reflectors on narrow roads or in road construction zones.

In these cases, driver will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of own vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).

Condition

Display on ICC system display

When own vehicle comes closer to the vehicle ahead and it is judged that the distance between the vehicles is not sufficient
