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.

When the ProPILOT Assist system is
canceled while the vehicle is stopped,
the electronic parking brake is automati-
cally activated.
WARNING
To prevent the vehicle from moving
or rolling unexpectedly, which could
result in serious personal injury or
property damage, before exiting the
vehicle make sure to push the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch to turn the sys-
tem off, push the park button to shift
to the P (Park) position, and turn the
engine off.
INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC)
. The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) is a
part of the ProPILOT Assist system. To
choose the ICC system without the
Steering Assist, activate the ProPILOT
Assist and then turn off the Steering
Assist with the switch or in the set-
tings menu. For additional informa-
tion, see “Operating ProPILOT Assist”
(P.5-91) and “How to enable/disable
the Steering Assist” (P.5-96).
. To choose the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode, push and
hold the ProPILOT Assist switch for
longer than approximately 1.5 sec-
onds. For additional information, see
“Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode” (P.5-118).
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the ICC
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.The ICC system is only an aid to
assist the driver and is not a
collision warning or avoidance
device. It is recommended for
highway use only and it is not
intended for city driving. It is the
driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and be in con-
trol of the vehicle at all times.
. There are limitations to the ICC
system capability. The ICC system
does not function in all driving,
traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling
lane, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.
. Always observe posted speed
limits and do not set the speed
over them.
. The ICC system does not react to
stationary and slow moving vehi-
cles.
Starting and driving5-97

5-98Starting and driving
.Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using
the ICC 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 ICC system except in
appropriate road and traffic con-
ditions.
ICC system operation
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front
of you and can reduce the speed to
match a slower vehicle ahead. The sys-
tem decelerates the vehicle as necessary
and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop,
the vehicle decelerates to a standstill.
However, the ICC system can only apply
up to 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power.
This system should only be used when
traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to
remain fairly constant or when vehicle
speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if
a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decele-
rates, the distance between vehicles may become closer because the ICC system
cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly
enough. If this occurs, the ICC system
sounds a warning chime and blinks the
system display to notify the driver to take
necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (25 km/h) and a
vehicle is not detected ahead. For ProPI-
LOT Assist with Navi-link equipped vehi-
cles on a limited access freeway as
identified in the navigation map data,
the ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if your vehicle is at a
standstill for more than approximately 3
seconds and a vehicle is not detected
ahead.
The ICC system operates as follows:
.
When there are no vehicles traveling
ahead, the ICC system maintains the
speed set by the driver. The vehicle set
speed range is between approxi-
mately 20 and 90 MPH (30 and 144
km/h).
. When there is a vehicle traveling
ahead, the ICC system adjusts the
speed to maintain the distance, se-
lected by the driver, from the vehicle
ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes to a
stop, the vehicle decelerates to a
standstill. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC system keeps the vehicle
stopped.
. When the vehicle traveling ahead
moves to a different traveling lane,
the ICC system accelerates and main-
tains vehicle speed up to the set
speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach
stationary and slow moving vehicles. You
must pay attention to vehicle operation
to maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or
traffic congestion.
