When driving on some roads, such as
winding, 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 vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate
or accelerate the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver 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
distance away from the vehicle travel- ing ahead.
System temporarily unavailable
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:
.
When the VDC is turned off
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When a vehicle ahead is not detected
and your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at a standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When a tire slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the ICC system back
on to use the system.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
ProPILOT assist system could result
in serious injury or death.
.ProPILOT assist is not a self-driv-
ing system. Within the limits of its
capabilities, as described in this
manual, it helps the driver with
certain driving activities.
. The ProPILOT assist system is not
a replacement for proper driving
procedures and is not designed
to correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving. ProPILOT
assist will not always steer the
vehicle to keep it in the lane. The
ProPILOT assist system is not
designed to prevent loss of con-
trol. 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.
. There are limitations to the Pro-
PILOT assist system capability.
The ProPILOT assist 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 vehi-
cle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The ProPILOT assist system is
only an aid to assist the driver
and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device.
. The ProPILOT assist system is for
highway use only and is not
intended for city driving. Failure
to apply the brakes or steer the
vehicle when necessary may re-
sult in a serious accident.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them.
. Never take your hands off the
steering wheel when driving. Al-
ways keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Never unfasten your safety belt
when using ProPILOT assist.
Doing so automatically cancels
the ProPILOT assist system.

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM OPERA-
TION
The ProPILOT assist system has the
following two functions:
1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
.Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode:
For cruising at a preset speed
NOTE:
Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol 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 selected
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 standstill for
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress 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, steering
assist is not available at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h).
