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 vehicle speed
For additional information, see “Turning
the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode ON” (P.5-91).
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 vehicle
set speed. The vehicle set speed can
be selected by the driver between 20
to 90 MPH (30 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.
. When your vehicle is stopped for less
than approximately 3 seconds and the
vehicle ahead begins to move, your
vehicle will start moving again auto-
Page 341 of 556

matically.
. When your vehicle is at a standstill for
more than approximately 3 seconds
and the vehicle ahead begins to
accelerate, push up the RES+ switch
or lightly depress the accelerator ped-
al. The ICC system starts to follow the
vehicle ahead.
. Always check surroundings before
restarting the vehicle.
. For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT
Assist with Navi-link and only when on
a limited access freeway (as identified
in the navigation map data):
— The time the vehicle can remain
stopped and automatically restart
is extended from 3 seconds to 30
seconds.
— If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the vehicle may not
automatically start when the traffic
ahead begins to move. You need to
push up the RES+ switch or lightly
depress the accelerator pedal to
follow the vehicle directly ahead
when it is safe to do so.
. 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 (30 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 helps the
driver to keep the vehicle centered within
the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h).

How to change the vehicle set
speed
The vehicle set speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
.Push up and hold the RES+ switch
.
The vehicle set speed increases in
increments of 5 MPH (5 km/h).
. Push up, then quickly release the RES+
switch
. Each time you do this, the
vehicle set speed increases by 1 MPH (1
km/h).
To change to a slower cruising speed:
. Push down and hold the SET- switch
. The vehicle set speed decreases in
increments of 5 MPH (5 km/h). .
Push down, then quickly release the
SET- switch
. Each time you do this,
the vehicle set speed decreases by 1
MPH (1 km/h).
For ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
equipped vehicles: The vehicle set speed
can also be changed according to the
speed limit. (See “Speed Limit Assist - a
feature of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link”
(P.5-102).)
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
. Depress the accelerator pedal when
acceleration is required. Release the
accelerator pedal to resume the pre-
viously set vehicle speed.
. Depress the brake pedal when decel-
eration is required. Control by the
ProPILOT Assist system is canceled.
Push up the RES+ switch to resume
the previously set vehicle speed.
WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed and you are approaching
the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
will neither control the brake nor
warn the driver with the chime and
display. The driver must manually
control the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.
Failure to do so could result in severe
personal injury or death.
NOTE:
When you accelerate by depressing the
accelerator pedal or decelerate by
pushing down the SET- switch and the
vehicle travels faster than the speed set
by the driver, the vehicle set speed
indicator will blink.
