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.
Starting and driving5-103

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator
Aflashes when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously set speed. Even
though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.
Cut-in detection
If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may in-
form the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.
Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
∙ The chime sounds.
∙ The vehicle ahead detection indicator and set distance indicator blink.
∙ You judge it necessary to maintain a safe distance.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are: ∙ When the vehicles are traveling at the same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing. ∙ When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing.
∙ When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when: ∙ Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
∙ The accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound
and the system display may flash when
the radar sensor detects objects on the
side of the vehicle or on the side of the
road. This may cause the ICC system to
decelerate or accelerate the vehicle. The
radar sensor may detect these objects
when the vehicle is driven on winding, nar-
row, or hilly roads or when the vehicle is
entering or exiting a curve. In these cases,
you will have to manually control the
proper distance ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver
or driving position in the lane) or traffic or
vehicle conditions (for example, if a ve-
hicle is being driven with some damage).LSD3234
Starting and driving5-107

Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above
37 mph and following a slower vehicle (be-
low ICC set speed), and the turn signal is
activated to the lef t, the ICC system will
automatically start to accelerate the ve-
hicle to help initiate passing on the lef t and
will begin to reduce the distance to vehicle
directly ahead. Only the lef t side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC
system will continue to accelerate to the
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the following speed of that ve-
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the
lef t lane to pass, the acceleration will stop
af ter a short time and regain the set follow-
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped
at any point by depressing the brake pedal
or the CANCEL switch on the steering
wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the following:
∙ This function is only activated withthe lef t turn signal and will briefly ac-
celerate the vehicle even if a lane
change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such as
lef t side exits.
∙ Ensure that when passing another ve- hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before
initiating the pass. Sudden changes
in traffic may occur while passing -
always manually steer or brake as
needed- never solely rely on the
system.
ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the ICC system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death:
∙ The ICC system is primarily intendedfor use on straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city traffic or
congested areas.
∙ The ICC system will not adapt auto- matically to road conditions. This sys-
tem should be used in evenly flowing
traffic. Do not use the system on roads
with sharp curves or on icy roads, in
heavy rain or in fog.
5-108Starting and driving

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime unexpectedly. You will
have to manually control the proper dis-
tance away from the vehicle traveling
ahead.
Automatic cancellation
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.Condition A
Under the following conditions, the ICC system
is automatically canceled. A chime will sound
and the system will not be able to be set:
∙ Any door is open.
∙ The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
∙ The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 mph (24 km/h).
∙ Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3 minutes
or longer.
∙ The shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) po- sition or manual shif t mode.
∙ The electronic parking brake is applied.
∙ The VDC system is turned off.
∙ The AEB applies harder braking.
∙ VDC (including the traction control sys- tem) operates.
∙ A wheel slips.
∙ When distance measurement be- comes impaired due to adhesion of dirt
or obstruction to the sensor.
∙ When the radar signal is temporarily in- terrupted.

STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the Steer-
ing Assist could result in serious injury
or death. ∙ The Steering Assist is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct care-
less, inattentive or absent-minded
driving. The Steering Assist will not al-
ways steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It is not designed to prevent loss
of control. It is the driver’s responsibil-
ity to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
∙ As there is a performance limit to the Steering Assist’s capability, never rely
solely on the system. The Steering
Assist does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Always drive safely, pay attention
to the operation of the vehicle, and
manually control your vehicle
appropriately.
∙ The Steering Assist is intended for use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways with gentle (moderate) curves.
To avoid risk of an accident, do not use
this system on local or non-highway
roads.
5-114Starting and driving

∙ The Steering Assist only steers the ve-hicle to maintain its position in the
center of a lane. The vehicle will not
steer to avoid objects in the road in
front of the vehicle or to avoid a ve-
hicle moving into your lane.
∙ 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. Never take
your hands off the steering wheel
when driving. Always keep your hands
on the steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the Steering Assist. Read
and understand the Owner’s Manual
thoroughly before using the Steering
Assist. To avoid serious injury or
death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the ve-
hicle’s speed in emergency situations.
Do not use the Steering Assist except
in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The Steer-
ing Assist is combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, refer to “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT Assist)”
in this section.
