CRUISE CONTROL (if so equipped)
Page 301 of 492

PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE CON-
TROL
.If the cruise control system malfunc-
tions, it will cancel automatically. The
CRUISE indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display will then blink to warn
the driver.
. If the CRUISE indicator blinks, turn the

the Cruise ON/OFF switch is turned
ON while pushing the RES/+, SET/-, or
CANCEL switch. To properly set the
cruise control system, perform the
following procedures.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at
speeds above 25 MPH (40 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control will automatically be
canceled if the vehicle slows down more
than approximately 8 MPH (13 km/h)
below the set speed.
Moving the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position will cancel the cruise control.
Turning on cruise control
Push the Cruise ON/OFF switch. The
CRUISE indicator in the vehicle informa-
tion display will appear.
Setting cruising speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Push the SET/- switch and release it.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle will maintain the set speed.
Passing another vehicle:
Depress the accelerator pedal to accel-
erate. After releasing the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre-
viously set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed when going up or down steep hills.
In such cases, drive without the cruise
control.
Resetting to slower speed:
Use any one of the following methods to
reset to a slower speed.
. Lightly tap the foot brake pedal. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push and release the SET/- switch.
. Push and hold the SET/- switch. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
release the SET- switch. .
Quickly push and release the SET/-
switch. This will reduce the vehicle
speed by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
Resetting to faster speed:
Use any one of the following methods to
reset to a faster speed.
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push and release the SET/- switch.
. Push and hold the RES/+switch. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
release the RES/+ switch.

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.
. The ProPILOT assist system does
not react to stationary and slow
moving vehicles. .
Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ProPILOT
assist system. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ProPILOT
assist 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 ProPILOT assist system
except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)
Page 303 of 492
WAF0286X
The ProPILOT assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle
when following a vehicle traveling in the
same lane and direction.
The ProPILOT assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
installed behind
the windshield and a radar sensor located
on the front of the vehicle
to measure
the distance to the vehicle ahead in the
same lane and to monitor the lane
markers. If the vehicle detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance. The system will also
help keep the vehicle centered in the
traveling lane when clear lane markings are detected.

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.
