Operating the system
When the system detects a different speed
limit, the new speed value is indicated. The
vehicle set speed can be changed to the
indicated speed limit automatically or
manually.
When Manual mode is selected on set-
tings menu (factory default setting):
• To accept the newly indicated speed limit, operate the RES+ switch (in case of speed
limit up) or SET- switch (in case of speed
limit down).
• The Speed Limit Assist indicator (
or) will turn off af ter approximately 10
seconds if the RES+ or SET- switch is not
operated. (The Speed Limit Assist indica-
tor can be turned off immediately by op-
erating the opposite switch from the di-
rection indicated by the Speed Limit
Assist indicator.) The system will not activate if a speed limit
change is not detected.
When Auto mode is selected on the set-
tings menu:
• The indicated speed limit is applied to the
vehicle set speed automatically when on
a limited access freeway as identified in
the navigation map data. Also, if the Pro-
PILOT Assist with Navi-link system is on,
but not set (active), and a new speed limit
is detected, the vehicle set speed is auto-
matically updated.
• The Auto mode may not be available in some regions or on roads other than lim-
ited access freeways. In this case, the sys-
tem operates as the Manual mode.
NOTE:
Auto mode will not function in Hawaii or
US island territories.
How to activate or deactivate the
system:
1. Press thebutton on the steering
wheel until “Settings” appears in the ve-
hicle information display, and press the
OK button
2. Use the scroll dial to select “Driver Assis- tance” and then press the OK button.

3. Select “Spd. Limit Assist”, and press theOK button to select “Auto” or “Manual” to
enable (not activate) the system. To de-
activate the system, select “OFF”.
NOTE:
The system will retain current settings in
the vehicle information display even if
the engine is restarted.
Speed Adjust by Rout e-afeature
of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
(if so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active on a limited access freeway (as iden-
tified in the navigation map data), the
Speed Adjust by Route uses road informa-
tion provided by the navigation system
and can adjust the vehicle speed depend-
ing on curves, junctions or exits and the
driver may need to apply additional brak-
ing at any time.
When the vehicle is through the curve or
junction, the vehicle will accelerate again to
the set speed. When exiting the limited ac-
cess freeway, the driver will need to apply
braking at the end of the exit.
NOTE:
• The system does not operate when the
accelerator pedal is depressed.
• The system may not operate depend-
ing on the set distance to the vehicle
ahead and vehicles detected ahead.

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle traveling ahead. This may cause the
radar system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering ma-
neuver or traveling position in the lane, etc.)
or vehicle condition.If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sound-
ing the chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.
System Temporarily Unavailable
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.Condition A
Under the following conditions, the ICC sys-
tem is automatically canceled. A chime will
sound and the system will not be able to be
set:
• Any door is open.
• The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the speed
of 15 mph (24 km/h). For ProPILOT Assist
with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a lim-
ited 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 ve-
hicle is not detected ahead.
• Your vehicle has been stopped by the ICC system for approximately 3 minutes or
longer.
• The shif t lever is not in the D (Drive) posi- tion or manual shif t mode.
• The electronic parking brake is applied.
• The VDC system is turned off.
• The AEB with Pedestrian Detection ap- plies harder braking.
• VDC (including the traction control sys- tem) operates.

Follow these easy-to-use Fuel Efficient
Driving Tips to help you achieve the most
fuel economy from your vehicle.
1.Use Smooth Accelerator and Brake
Pedal Application
• Avoid rapid starts and stops.
• Use smooth, gentle accelerator and brake application whenever possible.
• Maintain constant speed while com- muting and coast whenever possible.
2. Maintain Constant Speed
• Look ahead to try and anticipate and minimize stops.
• Synchronizing your speed with traffic lights allows you to reduce your num-
ber of stops.
• Maintaining a steady speed can mini- mize red light stops and improve fuel
efficiency.
3. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) at Higher
Vehicle Speeds
• Below 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to open windows to cool the
vehicle due to reduced engine load.
• Above 40 mph (64 km/h), it is more efficient to use A/C to cool the vehicle
due to increased aerodynamic drag. • Recirculating the cool air in the cabin
when the A/C is on reduces cooling
load.
4. Drive at Economical Speeds and
Distances
• Observing the speed limit and not ex- ceeding 60 mph (97 km/h) (where le-
gally allowed) can improve fuel effi-
ciency due to reduced aerodynamic
drag.
• Maintaining a safe following distance behind other vehicles reduces unnec-
essary braking.
• Safely monitoring traffic to anticipate changes in speed permits reduced
braking and smooth acceleration
changes.
• Select a gear range suitable to road conditions.
5. Use Cruise Control
• Using cruise control during highway driving helps maintain a steady speed.
• Cruise control is particularly effective in providing fuel savings when driving
on flat terrains.
6. Plan for the Shortest Route
• Utilize a map or navigation system to determine the best route to save time. 7.
Avoid Idling
• Shutting off your engine when safe for stops exceeding 30–60 seconds saves
fuel and reduces emissions.
8. Buy an Automated Pass for Toll Roads
• Automated passes permit drivers to use special lanes to maintain cruising
speed through the toll and avoid stop-
ping and starting.
9. Winter Warm Up
• Limit idling time to minimize impact to fuel economy.
• Vehicles typically need no more than 30 seconds of idling at start-up to ef-
fectively circulate the engine oil before
driving.
• Your vehicle will reach its ideal operat- ing temperature more quickly while
driving versus idling.
10. Keeping your Vehicle Cool
• Park your vehicle in a covered parking area or in the shade whenever
possible.
• When entering a hot vehicle, opening the windows will help to reduce the
inside temperature faster, resulting in
reduced demand on your A/C system.
