–When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming
is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters the lane
camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the ve-
hicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is nor-
mal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
• When you operate the lane change signal and change the traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will be
deactivated for approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h). After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the warning and assist functions will
resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following condi-
tions (warning is still functional):
• When the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the steering wheel is turned as far as
necessary for the vehicle to change lanes.
• When the vehicle is accelerated during LDP system operation.
• When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) approach warning occurs.
• When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
• When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are satis-
fied, the LDP system application of the
brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following messages appear in the ve-
hicle information display, the LDP system will
be turned off automatically. • “Not Available Poor Road Conditions”
When the VDC system (except Traction
Control System [TCS] function) or ABS
operates.
• “Currently not available”: – When the VDC system is turned off.
– When the SNOW mode is selected.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the ProPILOT
Assist switch (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist) on the steering wheel again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high
temperature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F [40°C]) and then the LDP
system is turned on, the LDP system may
be deactivated automatically and the fol-
lowing message will appear on the vehicle
information display: “Unavailable: High Cabin
Temperature.”

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system could
result in serious injury or death.
• The BSI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never
rely solely on the BSI system.
• There is a limitation to the detection ca-
pability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be de-
tected. Using the BSI system under some
road, ground, lane marker, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes, and helps assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane. The BSI system uses radar sensors
O1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition to the
radar sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
O2installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated.
The detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10ft (3.0m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10ft (3.0 m) sideways.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
1Side indicator light
2BSW indicator
3Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator
4ProPILOT Assist switchThe BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone. The brightness of the side
indicator light is adjusted automatically de-
pending on the brightness of the ambient
light.
If the BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another ve-
hicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. The BSI system activates by
controlling the steering input of the vehicle
for a short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
The BSI system operates regardless of turn
signal usage.

NOTE:
• BSI warning and system application willonly be activated if the side indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehicle
approaches a lane marker. If another ve-
hicle comes into the detection zone after
your vehicle has crossed a lane marker, no
BSI warning or system application will be
activated. For additional information, see
“BSI driving situations” (P. 5-66).
• The BSI system is typically activated ear- lier than the Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system when your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker.
To turn on the BSI system, push the ProPI-
LOT Assist switch on the steering wheel af-
ter starting the engine. The BSI indicator will
illuminate. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch
again to turn off the BSI system. The BSI
indicator will turn off.

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.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information, see
“BSI driving situations” (P. 5-66).
– Oncoming vehicles.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. –
A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
• 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 operation
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.

• Tap the brake pedal; theindicator
(green) goes out.
• Push the cruise control ON/OFF switch off. The
indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display go out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled
and the
indicator (green) in the vehicle
information display goes out if:
• You depress the brake pedal while pushing the RES+ or SET- switch. The preset speed
is deleted from memory.
• The vehicle slows down more than 8 mph (13 km/h) below the set speed.
• You move the shift lever to N (Neutral).
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of
the following three methods:
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the SET- switch.
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. When the vehicle attains the speed you desire, release
the switch.
• Push and release the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed increases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use one
of the following three methods:
• Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve- hicle attains the desired speed, push the
SET- switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET- switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows to the de-
sired speed.
• Push and release the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set speed decreases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES+ switch. The vehicle returns to
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
WARNING
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.
