CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering as-
sist in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode.
This mode allows driving at a speed between
25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
• In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the pres-
ence of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is detected.
• Pay special attention to the distance be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
of you or a collision could occur. •
Always confirm the setting in the ICC
system display.
• Do not use the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode when driving
under the following conditions:
– When it is not possible to keep the
vehicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that var-
ies in speed
– On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice,
etc.)
– In very windy areas
• Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise con-
trol, make sure to turn the ProPILOT Assist
switch off when not using the ICC system. To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed, push the SET-
OCswitch and release it. (The color of the cruise
indicator changes to green and set vehicle
speed indicator comes on.) Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will main-
tain the set speed.
• To pass another vehicle, depress the accel-
erator pedal. When you release the pedal,
the vehicle will return to the previously set
speed.
• The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, manually maintain vehicle speed.

the RES+ switch. The vehicle will resume the
last set cruising speed when the vehicle speed
is over 25 mph (40 km/h).WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the DCA system
could result in serious injury or death.
• Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the DCA system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the DCA 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 DCA system
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
• The system is only an aid to assist the
driver and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely and
be in control of the vehicle at all times.
DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST (DCA)
(if so equipped)
5-106Starting and driving

•As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the DCA system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving, or overcome
poor visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, depending
on the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually de-
celerate to maintain the proper follow-
ing distance. The DCA system may not be
able to decelerate the vehicle under some
circumstances.
• This system only brakes and moves the
accelerator pedal upward to help assist
the driver to maintain a following dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead. Accelera-
tion should be operated by the driver.
• The DCA system does not control the ve-
hicle speed or warn you when you ap-
proach stationary and slow moving ve-
hicles. You must pay attention to vehicle
operation to maintain proper distance
from vehicles ahead. •
The DCA system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle to help assist the driver
to maintain a following distance from
the vehicle ahead. Manually brake when
deceleration is required to maintain a
safe distance upon sudden braking by
the vehicle ahead or when a vehicle sud-
denly appears in front of you. Always
stay alert when using the DCA system.
• If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the
vehicle decelerates to a standstill within
the limitations of the system. The system
will cancel with a warning chime once it
judges that the vehicle has come to a
standstill. To prevent the vehicle from
moving, the driver must depress the
brake pedal.
The DCA system is intended to assist the
driver in keeping a following distance from
the vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane
and direction.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving
vehicle ahead, the system will reduce the ve-
hicle speed to help assist the driver to main-
tain a following distance.
The system automatically controls the
throttle and applies the brakes (up to ap-
proximately 40% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary. The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 650 ft (200m) ahead.

DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Vehicle information display
2. Lower display buttons3. ProPILOT Assist switch
4. DCA ON indicator
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the DCA system
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
• When the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator light is not illuminated, the system
will not control the vehicle or warn the
driver.
• Never place your foot under the brake
pedal. Your foot may be caught when the
system controls the brake.
• Depending on the position of the accel-
erator pedal, the system may not be able
to assist the driver to release the accel-
erator pedal appropriately.
The DCA system brakes and moves the ac-
celerator pedal upward according to the dis-
tance from and the relative speed of the ve-
hicle ahead to help assist the driver in
maintaining a following distance. The system
will decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler-
ates to a standstill. However, the DCA sys-
tem can only apply up to approximately 40%
of the vehicle’s total braking power. If a ve-
hicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may become
LSD3897
5-108Starting and driving

closer because the DCA system cannot de-
celerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this
occurs, the DCA system will sound a warning
chime and blink the system display to notify
the driver to take necessary action. For addi-
tional information, see “Approach warning”
(P. 5-110).The DCA system helps assist the driver to
keep a following distance to the vehicle
ahead by braking and moving the accelerator
pedal upward in the normal driving condition.
When a vehicle is detected ahead:
The vehicle ahead detection indicator comes
on.
When vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead:
• If the driver’s foot is not on the acceleratorpedal, the system activates the brakes to
decelerate smoothly as necessary. If the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill within the limita-
tions of the system. • If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward to assist the driver to release
the accelerator pedal.
When brake operation by driver is required:
The system alerts the driver by a warning
chime and blinking the vehicle ahead detec-
tion indicator. If the driver’s foot is on the
accelerator pedal after the warning, the sys-
tem moves the accelerator pedal upward to
assist the driver to switch to the brake pedal.
NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come on when braking is performed by the DCA
system.
• When the brake operates, a noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
Overriding the system:
The following driver’s operations override the
system operation:
• When the driver depresses the accelerator pedal even further while the system is mov-
ing the accelerator pedal upward, the DCA
system control of the accelerator pedal is
canceled.
• When the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the brake control by the system is
not operated.LSD2991
Starting and driving5-109

• When the driver’s foot is on the brakepedal, neither the brake control nor the
alert by the system operates.
• When the ICC system is set, the DCA sys- tem will be canceled.
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 system
warns the driver with the chime and DCA
system display. Decelerate by depressing the
brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle dis-
tance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicatorblinks.
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 vehicles is
increasing
• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle The warning chime will not sound when your
vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked
or moving slowly.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may blink when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the
road. This may cause the DCA system to de-
celerate or accelerate the vehicle. The radar
sensor may detect these objects when the
vehicle is driven on winding roads, narrow
roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting
a curve. In these cases you will have to manu-
ally control the proper distance ahead of
your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by
vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driv-
ing position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle
condition (for example, if a vehicle is being
driven with some damage).
