•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. •
Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the ProPILOT Assist system.
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.

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM
OPERATION1Steering-wheel-mounted control (left)
2Vehicle information display
3Steering-wheel-mounted control (right)
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 con-
ventional (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 (32 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.

–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.
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).
