5-64Starting and driving
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
ProPILOT assist system could result
in serious injury or death.
.ProPILOT assist is not a self-driv-
ing system. Within the limits of its
capabilities, as described in this
manual, it helps the driver with
certain driving activities.
. The ProPILOT assist system is not
a replacement for proper driving
procedures and is not designed
to correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving. ProPILOT
assist will not always steer the
vehicle to keep it in the lane. The
ProPILOT assist system is not
designed to prevent loss of con-
trol. 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 Pro-
PILOT assist system capability.
The ProPILOT assist system does
not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehi-
cle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
. The ProPILOT assist system is
only an aid to assist the driver
and is not a collision warning or
avoidance device.
. The ProPILOT assist system is for
highway 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. Al-
ways keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Never unfasten your safety belt
when using ProPILOT assist.
Doing so automatically cancels
the ProPILOT assist system.
. The ProPILOT assist system does
not react to stationary and slow
moving vehicles. .
Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ProPILOT
assist system. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ProPILOT
assist system. To avoid serious
injury or death, do not rely on the
system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not
use the ProPILOT assist system
except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.
