PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM
OPERATION
The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions:1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of
two cruise control modes:
∙ Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode: For cruising at a pre-
set speed
NOTE:
Steering assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode.

∙Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a
selected distance from the vehicle in
front of you within the speed range of
0 to 90 mph (0 to 144 km/h) up to the
set speed. The set speed can be se-
lected by the driver between 20 to
90 mph (32 to 144 km/h). When the
vehicle ahead slows to a stop, your
vehicle gradually decelerates to a
standstill. When the vehicle is
stopped, the ICC system maintains
braking force to keep your vehicle
stopped.
NOTE:
When your vehicle is stopped for less
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead
begins to move, your vehicle will start
moving again automatically. – When your vehicle is at a standstillfor more than 3 seconds and the
vehicle ahead begins to accelerate,
push the RES+ switch or lightly de-
press the accelerator pedal. The ICC
system starts to follow the vehicle
ahead. – When no vehicle is detected ahead
within the driver selected distance,
the vehicle travels at the speed set
by the driver. The speed must be
above 20 mph (32 km/h) to use this
function.
NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) setting is turned off by the
driver using the “Settings” menu in the
vehicle information display, AEB will be
automatically turned on when ICC is
used. 2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls
the steering system to help keep your
vehicle within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steer-
ing Assist is not available at speeds
under 37 mph (60 km/h).

NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering
assist in the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode.
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
ProPILOT Assist switch for longer than ap-
proximately 1.5 seconds. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Conventional (fixed

nate (blue). When a vehicle ahead is
traveling at a speed of 20 mph
(32 km/h) or below and the SET- switch
is pushed, the set speed of your vehicle
is 20 mph (32 km/h). NOTE:
Turning the ProPILOT Assist system on
will turn on the Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI) system at the same time. For
additional information, refer to “Intelli-
gent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” in this sec-
tion.
When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the ProPILOT Assist
system cannot be set and the set vehicle
speed indicator1blinks for approximately
2 seconds:
∙ When traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not detected
∙ When the shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) position or manual shif t mode
∙ When the parking brake is applied
∙ When the brakes are operated by the driver

WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed and you are approaching the
vehicle ahead, the ICC system will nei-
ther control the brake nor warn the
driver with the chime and display. The
driver must manually control the ve-
hicle speed to maintain a safe distance
to the vehicle ahead. Failure to do so
could result in severe personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
When you accelerate by depressing the
accelerator pedal or decelerate by push-
ing the SET- switch and the vehicle trav-
els faster than the speed set by the
driver, the set speed vehicle indicator will
blink.
How to change the set distance
to the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
Ais
pushed, the set distance will change to
long, middle, short and back to long again
in that sequence.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warn-
ing or avoidance device. It is recom-
mended for highway use only and it is
not intended for city driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
∙ There are limitations to the ICC sys- tem capability. The ICC system does
not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
∙ Always observe posted speed limits and do not set the speed over them.

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.
NOTE:∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system. ∙
When the brake is applied by the sys-
tem, a noise may be heard. This is not
a malfunction.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indica-
tor and the speed control status indicator
(distance control mode) illuminates (solid
green
).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes to
keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-
hicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press to
start” message is displayed on the vehicle
information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than
3 seconds, your vehicle will automati-
cally follow the vehicle as it accelerates
from a stop. Vehicle ahead accelerates
When your vehicle is stopped and the ve-
hicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal. The ICC system starts to follow
the vehicle ahead.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the previously
set vehicle speed. The ICC system then
maintains the set speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off
and speed control status indicator (main-
tain speed control mode) illuminates
(green outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 mph (24 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.
