SNOW MODE (AWD models)
This mode makes it easier to start and
run from snowy roads and frozen roads.
CAUTION
Never drive on dry, hard surface
roads in the SNOW mode, as this will
overload the powertrain and may
cause a serious malfunction. Addi-
tionally, this will cause premature
tire wear and reduced fuel economy.
When the SNOW mode is selected, small
vibration in cornering may occur. This is
not a malfunction.
STANDARD MODE (2WD models)/
AUTO MODE (AWD models)
This is the standard mode that is most
suitable for normal driving.
This mode will be selected first each time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
ECO MODE
Assists the driver’s ECO-driving. The en-
gine and transmission points are adjusted
for improved fuel economy, providing
such a driving features as smooth start-
ing or constant cruising.
NOTE:
Selecting the ECO mode will not neces-
sarily improve fuel economy as many
driving factors influence its effective-
ness.
Operation
Select the ECO mode using the Drive
Mode Selector. The ECO indicator illumi-
nates.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
within the range of economy drive, the
ECO indicator illuminates in green. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed above
the range of economy drive, the ECO
indicator turns off.
The ECO indicator will not illuminate in
the following cases:
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When the vehicle speed is below 2
MPH (3.2 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144
km/h). .
When the cruise control (if so
equipped) or the Intelligent Cruise
Control (ICC) system (if so equipped)
is operated.
ECO Mode Customize
The “ECO Mode Customize” is a function
that can change the priority from the
Cruise Control (if so equipped) or the
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) function
to fuel efficiency improvements. It can be
set when the ECO mode is selected. To
activate or deactivate this function, see
“ECO Mode Setting” (P.2-26).
.Cruise Control
When the setting is ON, the fuel
efficiency while cruising will be im-
proved by lowering the acceleration
target from normal (setting OFF)
mode.
NOTE:
When the vehicle speed is reduced (for
example, when the vehicle is driven on
an uphill road from a flat road), it will
take more time to return to the pre-
viously set speed than normal mode.

CAUTION
.The TSR system is intended as an
aid to careful driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and observe
all road regulations that currently
apply, including looking out for
road signs. .
The TSR system may not function
properly under all conditions. Be-
low are some examples:
— When the road sign is not
clearly visible, for example,
due to damage or weather
conditions.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of the multi-sensing
front camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the camera unit. (For example, the
light directly shines on the
front of the vehicle at sunrise
or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exam-
ple, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
— In areas not covered by the navigation system.
— If there are deviations in rela- tion to the navigation, for ex-
ample due to changes in the road routing.
— When overtaking buses or trucks with speed stickers.
— When the data from the navi- gation system is not up-to-
date or is unavailable.
. The TSR system may display a
traffic sign, though there is no
traffic sign in front of the vehicle.
It may display a different speed
limit from that for a passenger
vehicle. (The maximum speed
limit sign may show a higher or
lower number than the actual
maximum speed, for example,
when detecting a speed limit sign
for truck, advisory sign, different
speed limit sign between daytime
and nighttime, or speed limit sign
written in different unit near the
border, etc.)

I-LI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-LI system. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use of the I-LI system
could result in serious injury or
death.
. The I-LI system may activate if
you change lanes without first
activating your turn signal or, for
example, if a construction zone
Starting and driving5-53

5-54Starting and driving
directs traffic to cross an existing
lane marker. If this occurs you
may need to apply corrective
steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the I-LI may not activate
under the road, weather, and lane
marker conditions described in
this section, it may not activate
every time your vehicle begins to
leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
. The I-LI system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37
MPH (60 km/h) or if it cannot
detect lane markers.
. When the I-LI system is operating,
avoid excessive or sudden steer-
ing maneuvers. Otherwise, you
could lose control of the vehicle.
. Do not use the I-LI system under
the following conditions as it may
not function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads. — When there is a lane closure
due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire conditions (for example,
tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire
chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
— On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; or
lane markers covered with
water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves. — On roads where there are
sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs. (The I-LI system could
detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple, the light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)

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.

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.
