Special Repair Requirement (Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode)





INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT


ACTION TEST : Special Repair Requirement (Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance Control Mode)


NOTE:
- When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.
- The set speed can be selected by the driver between 32 to 144 km/h (20 to 90 MPH).
- When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.
- Maintains a selected distance from the vehicle in front of own vehicle within the speed range of 0 to 144 km/h (0 to 90 MPH) up to the set speed.

CAUTION:
Never set the cruise speed exceeding the posted speed limit.
1.CHECK FOR MAIN SWITCH
1. Start the engine.





Information display status
MAIN switch indicator (2) : ON
Set distance indicator (3) : Long mode
Own vehicle indicator (4) : ON
Set vehicle speed indicator (5) : "- -" "km/h" ("MPH")

2. Press the MAIN switch (1) (less than 1.5 seconds).

3. Check the ICC system display on the information display to check that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is ready for activation.
4. Press the MAIN switch, and check that the ICC system display on the information display turns OFF when the ICC system is deactivated.
5. Check that the ICC system display on the information display turns OFF after starting the engine again.
- GO TO 2.
2.CHECK FOR DISTANCE SWITCH
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the MAIN switch (less than 1.5 seconds).
3. Press the DISTANCE switch.
4. Check that the set distance indicator changes display in order of: (Long) to(Middle) to(Short).






NOTE:
When the MAIN switch is turned ON, initial setting set to (Long).
- GO TO 3.
3.CHECK FOR RESUME/ACCELERATE, SET/COAST, AND CANCEL SWITCHES
1. Check that RESUME/ACCELERATE, SET/COAST, CANCEL switches are operated smoothly.
2. Check that switches come up as hand is released from the switches.
- GO TO 4.
4.SET CHECKING (1)
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the MAIN switch (less than 1.5 seconds) and turn the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode ON.
3. Drive the vehicle at 32 km/h (20 MPH) or more.
4. Push down the SET/COAST switch.
5. Check that the desired speed is set and vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode control starts when releasing SET/COAST switch.

NOTE:
The set vehicle speed is indicated on the set vehicle speed indicator in the ICC system display on the information display.
- GO TO 5.
5.CHECK FOR INCREASE OF CRUISING SPEED (1)
1. Set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check that the set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 MPH) as RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pushed up.

NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (90 MPH).

CAUTION:
Never set the cruise speed exceeding the posted speed limit.
- GO TO 6.
6.CHECK FOR DECREASE OF CRUISING SPEED (1)
1. Set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check that the set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 MPH) as SET/COAST switch is pushed down.

NOTE:
- The minimum set speed is approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).
- Cancel the control automatically when the vehicle speed is less than approximately 24 km/h (15 MPH) and when the system does not detect any vehicle ahead.
- GO TO 7.
7.SET CHECKING (2)
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Drive the vehicle at less than approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).
3. Push down the SET/COAST switch when the system detects a vehicle ahead.
4. Check that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is performed so that the vehicle maintains a proper distance according to the vehicle speed [maximum: approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH)] when releasing SET/COAST switch.

NOTE:
- The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode cannot be set when the vehicle speed is less than 32 km/h (20
MPH) and when a vehicle ahead is not detected.
- Cancel the control automatically when the vehicle speed is 24 km/h (15 MPH) or less during the control and when the system does not detect any vehicle ahead.
- The set vehicle speed indicator in the ICC system display on the information display is set to 32 km/h (20
MPH).
- GO TO 8.
8.CHECK FOR INCREASE OF CRUISING SPEED (2)
1. Set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode when the vehicle speed is less than approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH) and when a vehicle ahead is detected.
2. Check that the set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 MPH) as RESUME/ACCELERATE switch is pushed up.

NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (90 MPH).

CAUTION:
Never set the cruise speed exceeding the posted speed limit.
- GO TO 9.
9.CHECK FOR DECREASE OF CRUISING SPEED INSPECTION (2)
1. Set the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode when the vehicle speed is less than approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH) and when a vehicle ahead is detected.
2. Set the set vehicle speed to the desired vehicle speed according to "check for increase of cruising speed".
3. Check that the set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 MPH) as SET/COAST switch is pushed down.

NOTE:
- The minimum the set speed is approximately 32 km/h (20 MPH).
- 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 a standstill with a warning chime.

CAUTION:
The creep occurs because the stop status is not maintained.
- GO TO 10.
10.CHECK FOR CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
Check that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is cancelled when performing the following operations.
- When the brake pedal is depressed after vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and the vehicle is driven.
- When the selector lever is in the "N" position after vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and the vehicle is driven.
- When the MAIN switch is turned OFF after vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and the vehicle is driven.
- When the CANCEL switch is pressed after vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and the vehicle is driven.
- GO TO 11.
11.CHECK FOR RESTORING SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL
MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION
Check that the vehicle restores the previous speed kept before the system deactivation when performing the following operations.
- Drive the vehicle when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and depress the brake pedal to cancel the control. Check that the vehicle restores the previous vehicle speed kept before the system deactivation when pushing up the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
- Drive the vehicle when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and shift the selector lever to the "N" position to cancel the control. Check that the vehicle restores the previous vehicle speed kept before the system deactivation when shifting the selector lever to the "D" position and pushing up the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
- Drive the vehicle when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is set and press the CANCEL switch to cancel the control. Check that the vehicle restores the previous vehicle speed kept before the system deactivation when pushing up the RESUME/ACCELERATE switch.
