The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions:
1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control
mode: For cruising at a preset speed
NOTE:Steering assist is not available in the conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode.
•Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode:
The ICC system maintains a selected dis-
tance from the vehicle in front of you within
the speed range of 0 to 90 mph (0 to 144
km/h) up to the set speed. The set speed
can be selected by the driver between 20 to
90 mph (30 to 144 km/h). When the ve-
hicle 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 ve-
hicle stopped.
NOTE:When your vehicle is stopped for less than 3
seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to
move, your vehicle will start moving again
automatically.

Starting and driving5-73

– When your vehicle is at a standstillfor more than 3 seconds and the ve-
hicle ahead begins to accelerate,
push the RES+ switch or lightly de-
press the accelerator pedal. The ICC
system starts to follow the vehicle
ahead.
– 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 func-
tion.
NOTE:Even if the Forward Emergency Braking
with Pedestrian Detection setting is turned
off by the driver using the “Driver Assis-
tance” menu in the lower display, Forward
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detec-
tion will be automatically turned on when
ICC is used.
2. Steering Assist
The Steering Assist function controls the
steering system to help keep your vehicle
within the traveling lane.
When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under 37
mph (60 km/h).ProPILOT Assist switches

TURNING THE CONVENTIONAL
(fixed speed) CRUISE CONTROL
MODE ON
NOTE:
ProPILOT Assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steering as-
sist in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode.
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch for longer than approxi-
mately 1.5 seconds. For additional informa-
tion, see “Conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode” (P. 5-100).
OPERATING PROPILOT ASSIST
1. Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)
2. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) when shaded and Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) when solid
3. Blind Spot Warning (BSW) 1. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch

2. A screen is displayed for a period of timethat indicates the status of the driving aid
functions.
– FEB, LDW, and BSW are enabled when the specified driving aid is shaded.
– LDP is enabled when the driving aid is solid.
– To change the status of the driving aids, use the
O1orO2button to navigate the
settings screen. For additional informa-
tion, see “How to use the vehicle infor-
mation display” (P. 2-19). 3. The status of the ProPILOT Assist system

(blue). When a vehicle ahead is traveling at
a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or below
and the SET- switch is pushed, the set
speed of your vehicle is 20 mph (30
km/h).
NOTE:
When “Lane Intervention” is selected in the
settings menu, turning the ProPILOT Assist
system on will activate the LDP system at
the same time. If “Lane Intervention” is not
selected in the settings menu, LDP will auto-
matically activate when the ProPILOT As-
sist system is “SET.” For additional informa-
tion, see “Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)”
(P. 5-38).

When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the ProPILOT Assist
system cannot be set and the set vehicle
speed indicator
O1blinks for approximately 2
seconds:
• When traveling below 20 mph (30 km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not detected
• When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) position or manual shift mode
• When the electronic parking brake is applied
• When the brakes are operated by the driver • When the VDC system is off. For additional
information, see “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” (P. 5-140).
• When the VDC system (including the trac- tion control system) is operating
• When a wheel is slipping
• When any door is open
• When the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
How to change the set vehicle
speed
The set vehicle speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed increases by approximately 5
mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
LSD3617LSD2948
5-78Starting and driving

To change to a slower cruising speed:
• Push and hold the SET- switch. The setvehicle speed decreases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
• Depress the accelerator pedal when accel-eration is required. Release the accelerator
pedal to resume the previously set vehicle
speed.
• Depress the brake pedal when deceleration is required. Control by the ProPILOT Assist
system is canceled. Push the RES+ switch
to resume the previously set vehicle speed.
WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
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 con-
trol 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 ac-
celerator pedal or decelerate by pushing the
SET- switch and the vehicle travels faster
than the speed set by the driver, the set
speed vehicle 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
OAis
pushed, the set distance will change to long,
middle, short and back to long again in that
sequence.

1. Long 200 (60)
2. Middle 150 (45)
3. Short 90 (30)
• The distance to the vehicle ahead changes
automatically according to the vehicle
speed. The higher the vehicle speed, the
longer the distance.
• The distance setting will remain at the cur- rent setting even if the engine is restarted.
