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
installed behind
the windshield and a radar sensor located
on the front of the vehicle
to 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 distance. The system will also
help keep the vehicle centered in the
traveling lane when clear lane markings are detected.

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM OPERA-
TION
The ProPILOT assist system has the
following two functions:
1. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The ICC system can be set to one of two
cruise control modes:
.Conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode:
For cruising at a preset speed
NOTE:
Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (fixed speed) cruise con-
trol mode.
. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode:
The ICC system maintains a selected
distance 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 vehicle
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 vehicle 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.
Page 307 of 508

.When your vehicle is at a standstill for
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress 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.
NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) setting is turned off by the
driver using the “Settings” menu in the
vehicle information display, AEB will be
automatically 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).

NOTE:
ProPILOT assist provides no approach
warnings, automatic braking, or steer-
ing assist in the conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode.
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the
ProPILOT assist switch for longer than
approximately 1.5 seconds. For additional
information, see “Conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode” (P.5-91).

blinks for approxi-
mately 2 seconds:
. When traveling below 20 MPH (32
km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not
detected
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) position or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When the brakes are operated by the
driver

How to change the set vehicle
speed
The set vehicle speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
.Push and hold the RES+ switch. The
set vehicle speed increases by ap-
proximately 5 MPH (5 km/h).
. Push, then quickly release, the RES+
switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed increases by approximately 1
MPH (1 km/h).
To change to a slower cruising speed:
. Push and hold the SET- switch. The
set vehicle speed decreases by ap-
proximately 5 MPH (5 km/h).
. Push, then quickly release, the SET
switch. Each time you do this, the set
speed decreases by approximately 1
MPH (1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
. Depress the accelerator pedal when
acceleration is required. Release the
accelerator pedal to resume the pre-
viously set vehicle speed.
. Depress the brake pedal when decel-
eration is required. Control by the
ProPILOT Assist system is canceled.
Push the RES+ switch to resume the
previously set vehicle speed.
WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed and you are approaching
the vehicle ahead, the ICC system
will neither control the brake nor
warn the driver with the chime and
display. The driver must manually
control the vehicle speed to maintain
a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.
Failure to do so could result in severe
personal injury or death.
