When the SET– switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the system cannot be
set.
A warning chime will sound and a message
will pop up:∙ When the VDC system is off (To use the ICC system, turn on the VDC system.
Push the ICC switch to turn off the ICC
system and reset the ICC switch by push-
ing the ICC switch again.)
For additional information about the
VDC system, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system” in this section.
∙ When VDC is operating
∙ When a wheel is slipping (To use the ICC system, make sure the wheels are no lon-
ger slipping.)
1System set display with vehicle ahead
2System set display without vehicle ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to
standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle
is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system
displays the set speed.
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 system then controls the vehicle
speed based on the speed of the vehicle
ahead to maintain the driver selected dis-
tance.
NOTE:
∙ The stop lights of the vehicle come on
when braking is performed by the ICC
system.
∙ When the brake operates, a noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
When a vehicle ahead is detected, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator comes on. The ICC
system will also display the set speed and
selected distance.
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.
When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns off.
If a vehicle ahead appears during accelera-
tion to the set vehicle speed or any time the
ICC system is in operation, the system con-
trols the distance to that vehicle.

CONVENTIONAL (fixed speed)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
This mode allows driving at a speed between
25 to 90 mph (40 to 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
∙ In the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode, a warning chime does not
sound to warn you if you are too close to
the vehicle ahead, as neither the presence
of the vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance is detected.
∙ Pay special attention to the distance be- tween your vehicle and the vehicle ahead
of you or a collision could occur.
∙ Always confirm the setting in the ICC system display.
∙ Do not use the conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode when driving under
the following conditions: – When it is not possible to keep the ve-
hicle at a set speed
– In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in speed
– On winding or hilly roads
– On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.)
– In very windy areas
∙ Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle con- trol and result in an accident.

Operating conventional (fixed
speed) cruise control mode
To turn on the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the ICC
switch
Afor longer than about 1.5 seconds.
When pushing ICC switch on, the conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode dis-
play and indicators
Bare displayed in the
vehicle information display. After you hold
ICC switch on for longer than about 1.5 sec-
onds, the ICC system display turns off. The
cruise indicator appears. You can now set
your desired cruising speed. Pushing the ICC
switch again will turn the system completely off. When the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position, the system is also automati-
cally turned off.
To use the ICC system again, quickly push
and release the ICC switch (vehicle-to vehicle
distance control mode) or push and hold it
(conventional cruise control mode) again to
turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging cruise con-
trol, make sure to turn the ICC switch off
when not using the ICC system.
To set cruising speed, accelerate your vehicle
to the desired speed, push the SET-
C
switch and release it. (The color of the cruise
indicator changes to green and set vehicle
speed indicator comes on.) Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle will main-
tain the set speed.∙ To pass another vehicle, depress the ac- celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ-
ously set speed.
∙ The vehicle may not maintain the set speed when going up or down steep hills.
If this happens, manually maintain vehicle
speed.

sist in the conventional (fixed speed) cruise
control mode.
To choose the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, push and hold the Pro-
PILOT Assist switch for longer than approxi-
mately 1.5 seconds. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode” in this section.

in the upper display.
∙ When enabling/disabling the system
through the lower display, the system
retains the current settings even if the
engine is restarted.
How to cancel the ProPILOT Assist
system
To cancel the ProPILOT Assist system, use
one of the following methods:
∙ Push the CANCEL switch.
∙ Tap the brake pedal (except at a stand- still). ∙ Push the ProPILOT Assist switch to turn
the system off. The ProPILOT Assist sta-
tus indicator will go out.
When the ProPILOT Assist system is can-
celed while the vehicle is stopped, the elec-
tronic parking brake is automatically acti-
vated.
WARNING
To prevent the vehicle from moving or roll-
ing unexpectedly, which could result in seri-
ous personal injury or property damage,
before exiting the vehicle make sure to push
the ProPILOT Assist switch to turn the sys-
tem off, place the shift lever in the P (Park)

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 responsi-
bility 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 func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather, and
road conditions. It is the driver’s respon-
sibility 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.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ICC system. Read and un-
derstand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC 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 ICC system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
5-112Starting and driving

When driving on the freeway at a set speed
and approaching a slower traveling vehicle
ahead, the ICC system adjusts the speed to
maintain the distance, selected by the driver,
from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead
changes lanes or exits the freeway, the ICC
system accelerates and maintains the speed
up to the set speed. Pay attention to the
driving operation to maintain control of the
vehicle as it accelerates to the set speed.
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
on winding or hilly roads. If this occurs, you
will have to manually control the vehicle
speed.Normally when controlling the distance to a
vehicle ahead, the system automatically ac-
celerates or decelerates your vehicle accord-
ing to the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Depress the accelerator to properly acceler-
ate your vehicle when acceleration is required
for a lane change. Depress the brake pedal
when deceleration is required to maintain a
safe distance to the vehicle ahead due to
sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in. Always
stay alert when using the ICC system.
No vehicle detected ahead
The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, similar to
standard cruise control, as long as no vehicle
is detected in the lane ahead. The ICC system
displays the set speed.
