(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 Lane Departure Prevention sys-
tem at the same time. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Lane Departure Preven-
tion” in this section. When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the ProPILOT Assist
system cannot be set and the set vehicle
speed indicator
1blinks for approximately
2 seconds:
∙ When traveling below 20 mph (32 km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not detected
∙ When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) position or manual shift mode
∙ When the electronic parking brake is ap- plied
∙ When the brakes are operated by the driver

∙ When the VDC system is off. For addi-tional information, refer to “Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system” in this sec-
tion.
∙ When the VDC system (including the traction control system) is operating
∙ When a wheel is slipping
∙ When any door is open
∙ When the driver’s seat belt is not fas- tened
How to change the set vehicle
speed
The set vehicle speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
∙ Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed increases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
∙ Push, then quickly release, the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h). To change to a slower cruising speed:
∙ Push and hold the SET- switch. The set vehicle speed decreases by approxi-
mately 5 mph (5 km/h).
∙ Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed decreases by approximately 1 mph
(1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
∙ Depress the accelerator pedal when ac-celeration is required. Release the accel-
erator pedal to resume the previously set
vehicle speed.
∙ Depress the brake pedal when decelera- tion is required. Control by the ProPILOT
Assist system is canceled. Push the RES+
switch to resume the previously set ve-
hicle speed.

WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
and you are approaching the vehicle ahead,
the ICC system will neither control the
brake nor warn the driver with the chime
and display. The driver must manually con-
trol the vehicle 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 ac-
celerator pedal or decelerate by pushing the
SET- switch and the vehicle travels 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.

Distance Approximate distance at60 mph (100 km/h) [ft (m)]
1. Long 200 (60)
2. Middle 150 (45)
3. Short 90 (30)
∙ The distance to the vehicle ahead changes automatically according to the
vehicle speed. The higher the vehicle
speed, the longer the distance.
∙ If the engine is stopped, the set distance becomes “long.” (Each time the engine is
started, the initial setting becomes
“long.”)

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system could
result in serious injury or death. ∙ The ICC system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is recommended for
highway use only and it is not intended
for city driving. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ There are limitations to the ICC system capability. The ICC system does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather, and
road conditions. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility 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.
∙ The ICC system does not react to sta- tionary and slow moving vehicles.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and un-
derstand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emergency
situations. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
