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.

Vehicle detected ahead
When a vehicle is detected in the lane ahead,
the ICC system decelerates the vehicle by
controlling the throttle and applying the
brakes to match the speed of a slower vehicle
ahead. The ICC system then controls the ve-
hicle speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected
distance.
NOTE:
•The stop lights of the vehicle come on when
braking is performed by the ICC system.
• When the brake is applied by the system,a noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indicator
and the speed control status indicator (dis-
tance control mode) illuminates (solid green
).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to stop,
your vehicle decelerates to a standstill. Once
your vehicle stops, the ICC system automati-
cally applies the brakes to keep the vehicle
stopped. When your vehicle is at a standstill,
the “(RES+) Press to start” message is dis-
played on the vehicle information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than 3 sec-
onds, your vehicle will automatically follow
the vehicle as it accelerates from a stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates
• When your vehicle is stopped for less than approximately 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 approximately 3 seconds and the ve-
hicle ahead begins to accelerate, push up
the RES+ switch or lightly depress the ac-
celerator pedal. The ICC system starts to
follow the vehicle ahead.
• Always check surroundings before restart- ing the vehicle.
• 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.Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected ahead,
the ICC system gradually accelerates your
vehicle to resume the previously set vehicle
speed. The ICC system then maintains the set
speed.

Starting and driving5-103
When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar sen-
sor may detect vehicles in a different lane, or
may temporarily not detect a vehicle 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 maneu-
ver 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 sounding
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 unavailable. In
these instances, the ICC system may not can-
cel and may not be able to maintain the se-
lected following distance from the vehicle
ahead.Condition A

• 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 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
seconds and a vehicle is not detected
ahead.
