tional functionality, if so equipped)
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
absent-minded 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.

WAF0580XSystem set display — vehicle ahead*
Vehicle detected ahead:
When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the
vehicle by controlling the throttle and
applying the brakes to match the speed
of a slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system
then adjusts the vehicle speed based on
the speed of the vehicle ahead to main-
tain the driver selected distance.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the ICC system.
. When the brake is applied by the
system, a noise may be heard. This is
not a malfunction. When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator and the speed control status in-
dicator (distance control mode)
illuminates in green.
*: The design of the set display may differ
depending on the model.
Vehicle ahead stops:
When a vehicle ahead is detected and it
gradually decelerates to stop, your vehi-
cle decelerates to a standstill. When your
vehicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Follow
Vehicle Ahead” message is displayed on
the vehicle information display.
Vehicle ahead accelerates:. 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-
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.
Vehicle ahead not detected:
When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the pre-
viously vehicle set speed. The ICC
system then maintains the vehicle set
speed.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator and
speed control status indicator (maintain
speed control mode) turn off.
The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the vehicle set speed, but you can de-
press the accelerator pedal to quickly
accelerate. When a vehicle is no longer

— The time the vehicle can re-main stopped and automati-
cally 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.
. Always check surroundings be-
fore restarting the vehicle.
. Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance
between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
. The ICC system does not detect
the following objects:
— Stationary or slow moving ve-
hicles (when your vehicle is approaching them)
— Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
— Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
— Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
. The ICC system may not detect a
vehicle ahead in certain road,
weather or driving conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:
— On roads with heavy, high-
speed traffic or sharp curves
— On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
— On a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road
— On steep downhill roads (the vehicle may go beyond the
vehicle set speed and fre-
quent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
— On repeated uphill and down- hill roads
— During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) — When the sensor detection is
reduced (conditions such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray
from other vehicles)
— When dirt, ice, snow or other material adhere to the radar
sensor area
— When traffic conditions make it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration
— When a complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier
trailer or flatbed truck/trailer
is near the vehicle ahead
— When there is interference by other radar sources
— When excessively heavy bag- gage is loaded in the rear seat
or cargo area of your vehicle
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle
. In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. Always stay alert and

When the Steering Assist is in operation,
the Steering Assist status indicator, the
Steering Assist indicator, and the lane
marker indicatorandon the vehicle
information display turn green. A chime
sounds when the Steering Assist initially
activates.
When the Steering Assist deactivates, the
Steering Assist status indicator
, the
Steering Assist indicator, and the lane
marker indicatorandon the vehicle
information display turn gray and a chime
sounds twice.
Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
With the Steering Assist active, when a
curve or strong cross wind exceeds the
capabilities of the system and your vehi-
cle approaches either the left or the right
side of the traveling lane, the I-LI system
will flash the I-LI indicator on the vehicle
information display and provide steering
wheel vibration to alert the driver. The
warning chime will also sound (4 rapid
beeps). Then, the I-LI system automati-
cally applies the brakes for a short period
of time to help assist the driver to return
the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane. This action is in addition to any
Steering Assist actions and the warnings
cannot be turned off. For more informa-
tion, see “Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-
LI)” (P.5-51).WAF0639X
Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel op-
eration.
If the steering wheel is not operated or
the driver takes his/her hands off the
steering wheel for a period of time, the
warning
appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display and the hands OFF warn-
ing light
illuminates.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played and the warning light illuminated,
an audible alert sounds and both the
warning and the warning light flash. If the
driver still does not operate the steering wheel, the system applies a momentary
brake application to request the driver to
take control of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the
system turns on the hazard flasher and
slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerat-
ing, or operating the ProPILOT Assist
switch.
WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for a
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely. Failure to
do so could cause a collision result-
ing in serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the steering
wheel and a sequence of warnings
may occur. When the driver holds and
operates the steering wheel again, the
warnings turn off.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-
tem will function when your vehicle is
driven at speeds above approximately 3
MPH (5 km/h).
For the pedestrian and cyclists detectionfunction, the AEB with pedestrian detec-
tion system operates at speeds between
6 – 37 MPH (10 – 60 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB with pedestrian detection system
will firstly provide the warning to the
driver by flashing the vehicle ahead
detection indicator (yellow) in the vehicle
information display and providing an
audible alert. In addition, the system
applies partial braking.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
with pedestrian detection system detects
that there is still the possibility of a
forward collision, the system will auto-
matically increase the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
with pedestrian detection system issues
the second visual (flashing) (red) and
audible warning. Then the system applies
partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes immi-
nent, the AEB with pedestrian detection
system applies harder braking automati-
cally.
While the AEB with pedestrian detection
system is operating, you may hear the
sound of brake operation. This is normal
and indicates that the AEB with pedes-
trian detection system is operating prop-

erly.
NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB with
pedestrian detection system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle, pedestrian or cyclists
ahead, as well as driving and roadway
conditions, the system may help the
driver avoid a forward collision or may
help mitigate the consequences of a
collision should one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB
with pedestrian detection system will
function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under
the following conditions:
.When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle,
pedestrian detected ahead.
If the AEB with pedestrian detection
system has stopped the vehicle, the
vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
When the brake pedal is depressed while the brake is applied by the system, you
may feel the pedal effort is changed and
may hear a sound and vibration noise.
This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction. In addition, the braking force
can be increased by adding the pedal
effort.

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up,
the RAB system warning indicator will
flash in the vehicle information display, a
red frame will appear in the center display
(models with the Intelligent Around View®
Monitor system), and the system will
chime three times. The system will then
automatically apply the brakes. After the
automatic brake application, the driver
must depress the brake pedal to maintain
brake pressure.
NOTE:
.The stop lights of the vehicle come
on when braking is performed by
the RAB system.
. When the brakes operate, a noise
may be heard. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
