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
is
pushed, the set distance will change to
“long”, “middle”, “short” and back to “long”
again in that sequence.
WAF0645XExample
Distance — approximate distance at 60
MPH (100 km/h)
1. Long – 200 ft (60 m)
2. Middle – 150 ft (45 m)
3. Short – 90 ft (30 m)
. The actual distance to the vehicle
ahead adjusts automatically accord-
ing to the vehicle speed. The higher
the vehicle speed, the longer the
distance.
. The distance setting will remain at the
current setting even if the engine is
restarted.

Speed Adjust by Route - a feature
of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if
so equipped)
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the Speed Adjust by Route.
Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system lim-
itations could result in serious injury
or death:
.There are limitations to the Speed
Adjust by Route system capabil-
ity. The system does not function
in all driving, traffic, weather and
road conditions. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
. The Speed Adjust by Route sys-
tem does not brake the vehicle to
a stop. Whenever necessary, the
driver must apply appropriate
braking. .
It is the driver’s responsibility to
select the proper speed, follow all
traffic regulations and observe
other road users.
. The Speed Adjust by Route sys-
tem will not function in Hawaii or
US island territories.
. The Speed Adjust by Route may
not operate properly in some
road and traffic conditions, the
system may unexpectedly
change the speed. The driver
must manually control the vehicle
speed.
Below are some examples:
— When the data from the navi-
gation system is not up-to-
date or is unavailable.
— When not driving along the route suggested by the navi-
gation system.
— When the navigation system is recalculating the route.
— When driving in countries or areas not covered by the na-
vigation system.
— When driving on a road under construction or newly con-
structed road. — When driving near a road split
or junction.
— When driving in bad weather or poor road conditions.
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active on a limited access freeway (as
identified in the navigation map data), the
Speed Adjust by Route uses road infor-
mation provided by the navigation sys-
tem and can adjust the vehicle speed
depending on curves, junctions and exits.
The system may not always reduce speed
for all curves, junctions or exits and the
driver may need to apply additional brak-
ing at any time.
When the vehicle is through the curve or
junction, the vehicle will accelerate again
to the set speed. When exiting the limited
access freeway, the driver will need to
apply braking at the end of the exit.
NOTE:
. The system does not operate when
the accelerator pedal is depressed.
. The system may not operate de-
pending on the set distance to the

ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death:
. The ICC system is primarily in-
tended for use on highways and
freeways. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city/urban
traffic. .
The ICC system will not adapt
automatically to road conditions.
This system 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.
. As there is a performance limit to
the distance control function,
never rely solely on the ICC sys-
tem. 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 or-
der to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
. When the ICC system automati-
cally brings the vehicle to a stop,
your vehicle can automatically
accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approxi-
mately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.
. For vehicles equipped with ProPI-
LOT Assist with Navi-link and only
when on a limited access freeway
(as identified in the navigation
structed, the ICC system will automati-
cally be canceled.

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or Steer-
ing Assist in the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode.
This mode allows driving at a speed
between 20 to 90 MPH (30 to 144 km/h)
without keeping your foot on the accel-
erator 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 pre-
sence of the vehicle ahead nor
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is
detected.

— If there is interference byother radar sources.
— When your vehicle’s position or movement is changed
quickly or significantly (for
example, lane change, turning
vehicle, abrupt steering, sud-
den acceleration or decelera-
tion).
— When your vehicle or the ve- hicle, pedestrian or cyclist
ahead moves quickly or sig-
nificantly such that the sys-
tem cannot detect and react
in time (for example, pedes-
trian moving quickly toward
the vehicle at close range,
vehicle cutting in, changing
lanes, making a turn, steering
abruptly, sudden acceleration
or deceleration).
— When the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is offset from the
vehicle’s forward path.
— If the speed difference be- tween the two vehicles is
small.
— The pedestrian’s profile is par- tially obscured or unidentifi-
able; for example, due to transporting luggage, push-
ing a stroller, wearing bulky
or very loose-fitting clothing
or accessories, or being in a
unique posture (such as rais-
ing hands).
— There is poor contrast of a person to the background,
such as having clothing color
or pattern which is similar to
the background.
— For approximately 15 seconds after starting the engine
— If the vehicle ahead has a unique or unusual shape, ex-
tremely low or high clearance
heights, or unusual cargo
loading or is narrow (for ex-
ample, a motorcycle).
— When the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is located near a
traffic sign, a reflective area

degraded in the following condi-
tions:
— The vehicle is driven on a
slippery road.
— The vehicle is driven on a slope.
— Excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the
cargo area of your vehicle.
. The system is designed to auto-
matically check the sensor (radar
and camera)’s functionality, with-
in certain limitations. The system
may not detect some forms of
obstruction of the sensor area
such as ice, snow or stickers, for
example. In these cases, the sys-
tem may not be able to warn the
driver properly. Be sure that you
check, clean and clear sensor
areas regularly.
. In some road and traffic condi-
tions, the AEB with pedestrian
detection system may unexpect-
edly apply partial braking. When
