.The cruise indicator may blink when
the Cruise ON/OFF switch is turned
ON while pushing up the RES+, push-
ing down the SET-, or pushing the
CANCEL switch. To properly set the
cruise control system, perform the
following procedures.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at
speeds above 25 MPH (40 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control will automatically be
canceled if the vehicle slows down more
than approximately 8 MPH (13 km/h)
below the vehicle set speed. (“Unavailable:
Under specified speed” message appears
in the display.)
Moving the shift lever to the N (Neutral)
position will cancel the cruise control.
Turning on cruise control
Push the Cruise ON/OFF switch. The
cruise indicator and “Standby Push SET-
to active” message in the vehicle informa-
tion display will appear.
Setting cruising speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Push the SET- switch down or RES+
switch up and release it.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will maintain the set speed. (“+
/- Change Set speed” message appears in
the display.)
NOTE:
If pushed the RES+ switch and released
it when there is no vehicle set speed,
the set speed is set to the current
vehicle speed.
Passing another vehicle:
Depress the accelerator pedal to accel-
erate. After releasing the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will return to the pre-
viously set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set
speed when going up or down steep hills.
In such cases, drive without the cruise
control.
Resetting to slower speed:
Use any one of the following methods to
reset to a slower speed.
. Lightly tap the foot brake pedal. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push down and release the SET- switch.
. Push down and hold the SET- switch.
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, release the SET- switch.
. Quickly push down and release the
SET- switch. This will reduce the
vehicle speed by about 1 MPH (1.6
km/h).
Resetting to faster speed:
Use any one of the following methods to
reset to a faster speed.
. Depress the accelerator pedal. When
the vehicle reaches the desired speed,
push down and release the SET-
switch.
. Push up and hold the RES+ switch.
When the vehicle reaches the desired
speed, release the RES+ switch.
. Quickly push up and release the RES+
switch. This will increase the vehicle
speed by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
Resuming at preset speed:
Push up and release the RES+ switch.
The vehicle will resume the last set
cruising speed when the vehicle speed is
over 25 MPH (40 km/h). (“Resumed” mes-
sage appears in the display.)

Cancelling cruising speed
Use any one of the following methods to
cancel the vehicle set speed. (“Standby
Push RES+ to resume” message appears
in the display.)
.Push the CANCEL switch.
. Tap the foot brake pedal.
. Push the Cruise ON/OFF switch. The
cruise indicator will turn off. This section contains the information
about the following system features:
.
ProPILOT Assist (general system op-
eration)
. ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (addi-
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.
Doing so automatically cancels
PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)

the ProPILOT Assist system.
. The ProPILOT Assist system does
not react when approaching sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ProPILOT
Assist system. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ProPILOT
Assist system. To avoid serious
injury or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not
use the ProPILOT Assist system
except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
WAF0644X
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle
when following a vehicle traveling in the
same lane and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
installed behind
the windshield to monitor the lane mar-
kers and a radar sensor
located on the
front of the vehicle to measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead in the same
lane. If the system detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the
selected distance. The system will also
help keep the vehicle centered in the
traveling lane when clear lane markings are detected.
NOTE:
It is important to ensure the front
camera and radar sensors are clear at
all times. (See “ICC sensor maintenance”
(P.5-111) and “Steering Assist mainte-
nance” (P.5-118) for more details.)

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).
