BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSI system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The BSI system cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to de-
tect and activate BSI when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information, see
“BSI driving situations” (P. 5-57).
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, see “BSI driving situa-
tions” (P. 5-57). –
A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
see “BSI driving situations” (P. 5-57).
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. For additional infor-
mation, see “BSI driving situations”
(P. 5-57).
– A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in a
row, the vehicles after the first ve-
hicle may not be detected if they are
traveling close together.
• The radar sensors’ detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an ad-
jacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects; however, ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal driving
condition.
• The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles: –
Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
• Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
• The camera may not detect lane markers
in the following situations and the BSI
system may not operate properly:
– 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; lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp
curves.
– On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining after road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
5-56Starting and driving
–When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane markers.
– When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of a lane cam-
era unit.
– When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam-
era unit (e.g., light directly shines on
the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset).
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs (e.g., when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge).
• Do not use the BSI system under the fol-
lowing conditions because the system
may not function properly:
– During bad weather (e.g., rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs. –
When driving in a makeshift lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.,
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
• Do not use the BSI system when towing a
trailer.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator
light may not illuminate before the detected
vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is
safe to change lanes.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ProPILOT Assist
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving
system. Within the limits of its capabili-
ties, as described in this manual, it helps
the driver with certain driving activities.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is not a re-
placement 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 Pro-
PILOT Assist system is not designed to
prevent loss of control. 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 ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The ProPILOT
Assist system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. 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. •
The ProPILOT Assist system is only an
aid to assist the driver and is not a colli-
sion warning or avoidance device.
• The ProPILOT Assist system is for high-
way 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. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely.
• Never unfasten your safety belt when
using ProPILOT Assist. Doing so auto-
matically cancels the ProPILOT Assist
system.
• The ProPILOT Assist system does not
react to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.

4ProPILOT Assist switch
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.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions 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 respon-
sibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be
in control 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 conditions. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility 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 sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles.
• Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly 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
conditions.
5-82Starting and driving
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the left, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the left and will begin
to reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal operates
this feature. As the driver steers the vehicle
and moves into the passing lane, if no vehicle
is detected ahead the ICC system will con-
tinue to accelerate to the ICC system set
speed. If another vehicle is detected ahead,
then the vehicle will accelerate up to the fol-
lowing speed of that vehicle. If the vehicle is
not steered into the left lane to pass, the
acceleration will stop after a short time and
regain the set following distance. Accelera-
tion can be stopped at any point by depress-
ing the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision that
may result in serious injury or death, please
be aware of the following:
• This function is only activated with the
left turn signal and will briefly accelerate
the vehicle even if a lane change is not
initiated. This can include non-passing
situations such as left side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another ve-
hicle, the adjacent lane is clear before ini-
tiating the pass. Sudden changes in traf-
fic may occur while passing- always
manually steer or brake as needed- never
solely rely on the system.ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death:
• The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas.
• The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves or on icy roads, in heavy rain
