under the following 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.
— On off-road surfaces such as on
sand or rock, etc.
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)
— When the windshield wipers are
operating at high speed. The system
may cancel when the wipers are set
to the AUTO position.
— When strong light (for example, at
sunrise or sunset) is directly shining
on the front of the vehicle
— When rain, snow or dir t 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
— When towing a trailer or other
vehicle
. 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.
