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-

Starting and driving5-97
SSD0254
When driving on the highway at a vehicle
set speed and approaching a slower
traveling vehicle ahead, the ICC system
adjusts the speed to maintain the dis-
tance, selected by the driver, from the
vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead
changes lanes or exits the highway, the
ICC system accelerates and maintains the
vehicle set speed. Pay attention to the
driving operation to maintain control of
the vehicle as it accelerates to the set
speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed on winding or hilly roads. If this
occurs, you will have to manually control
the vehicle speed.Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, the system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle
according to the speed of the vehicle
ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly ac-
celerate your vehicle when acceleration is
required for a lane change. Depress the
brake pedal when deceleration is required
to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to sudden braking or if a
vehicle cuts in. Always stay alert when
using the ICC system.
WAF0579XSystem set display — no vehicle detected ahead*
No vehicle detected ahead:
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC
system maintains the vehicle set speed,
similar to standard cruise control, as long
as no vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead. The ICC system displays the vehi-
cle set speed.
*: The design of the set display may differ
depending on the model.
