Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the
ProPILOT Assist system. To avoid seri-
ous injury or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or to control
the vehicle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the ProPILOT Assist
system except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
The ProPILOT Assist system is intended to
enhance the operation of the vehicle when
following a vehicle traveling in the same lane
and direction.
The ProPILOT Assist system uses a multi-
sensing front camera
OAinstalled behind the
windshield and a radar sensor located on the
front of the vehicle
OBto measure the distance
to the vehicle ahead in the same lane and to
monitor the lane markers. If the vehicle detects
a slower moving vehicle ahead, the system will
reduce the vehicle speed so that your vehicle
follows the vehicle in front at the selected dis-
tance. The system will also help keep the ve-
hicle centered in the traveling lane when clear
lane markings are detected.

–When your vehicle is at a standstill
for 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 (32 km/h) to use this
function.
• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As- sist with Navi-link and only when on a lim-
ited access freeway (as identified in the
navigation map data):– The time the vehicle can remain stopped and automatically restart is extended
from 3 seconds to 30 seconds.
– If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the vehicle may not auto-
matically start when the traffic ahead
begins to move. You need to push up the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accel-
erator pedal to follow the vehicle directly
ahead when it is safe to do so.NOTE:Even if the Forward Emergency Braking
(FEB) with Pedestrian Detection setting is
turned off by the driver using the “Settings”
menu in the vehicle information display, FEB
with Pedestrian Detection will be automati-
cally turned on when ICC is used.

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.

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 system decelerates
the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle
ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler-
ates 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 ve-
hicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may become
closer because the ICC system cannot decel-
erate the vehicle quickly enough. If this oc-
curs, 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 (24 km/h) and a vehicle is not de-
tected ahead. For ProPILOT Assist with
Navi-link equipped vehicles on a limited ac-
cess 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 sec-
onds 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 set speed range is between
approximately 20 and 90 mph (32 and 144
km/h).
• When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain
the distance, selected 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 your vehicle is stopped for less than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead begins to
move, your vehicle will start moving again
automatically. • When your vehicle is at a standstill for more
than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead be-
gins to accelerate, push the RES+ switch or
lightly depress the accelerator pedal. The
ICC system starts to follow the vehicle
ahead.
• When the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the ICC system
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up
to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation to main-
tain proper distance from vehicles ahead
when approaching toll gates or traffic
congestion.
5-98Starting and driving
• When the vehicle ahead is traveling fasterand the distance between vehicles is
increasing.
• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.
The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over- riding the system.
NOTE:
The approach warning chime may sound and
the system display may flash when the radar
sensor detects objects on the side of the ve-
hicle or on the side of the road. This may
cause the ICC system to decelerate or accel-
erate the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is driven
on winding, narrow, or hilly roads or when
the vehicle is entering or exiting a curve. In
these cases, you will have to manually con-
trol the proper distance ahead of your
vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected
by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or
driving position in the lane) or traffic or ve-
hicle conditions (for example, if a vehicle is
being driven with some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 43
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.
Speed Limit Assist - a feature of
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
(if so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active and it detects a change of the speed
limit, the new speed limit is indicated and it
can be applied to the vehicle set speed auto-
matically or manually.
