Speed Adjust by Route - a feature
of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link
(if so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active on a limited access freeway (as identi-
fied in the navigation map data), the Speed
Adjust by Route uses road information pro-
vided by the navigation system and can ad-
just the vehicle speed depending on curves,
junctions or exits and the driver may need to
apply additional braking at any time.
When the vehicle is through the curve or junc-
tion, the vehicle will accelerate again to the
set speed. When exiting the limited access
freeway, the driver will need to apply braking
at the end of the exit.
NOTE:
•The system does not operate when the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed.
• The system may not operate depending on
the set distance to the vehicle ahead and
vehicles detected ahead.

ICC system limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the ICC system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death: •
The ICC system is primarily intended for
use on straight, dry, open roads with
light traffic. It is not advisable to use the
ICC system in city traffic or congested
areas.
• The ICC system will not adapt automati-
cally to road conditions. This system
should be used in evenly flowing traffic.
Do not use the system on roads with
sharp curves or on icy roads, in heavy rain
or in fog.
• As there is a performance limit to the
distance control function, never rely
solely on the ICC system. This system
does not correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving or overcome poor
visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal, depending
on the distance to the vehicle ahead and
the surrounding circumstances in order
to maintain a safe distance between
vehicles.
• When the ICC system automatically
brings the car to a stop, your vehicle can
automatically accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approximately 3
seconds. Be prepared to stop your ve-
hicle if necessary.
LSD4327
Starting and driving5-105

•Always check surroundings before re-
starting the vehicle.
• Always pay attention to the operation of
the vehicle and be ready to manually
control the proper following distance.
The ICC system may not be able to main-
tain the selected distance between ve-
hicles (following distance) or selected
vehicle speed under some circumstances.
• The system may not detect the vehicle in
front of you in certain road or weather
conditions. To avoid accidents, never use
the ICC system under the following con-
ditions:
– On roads with heavy, high-speed
traffic or sharp curves
– On slippery road surfaces such as on
ice or snow, etc.
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)
– When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the
bumper around the distance sensor
– On steep downhill roads (the vehicle
may go beyond the set vehicle speed
and frequent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill roads –
When traffic conditions make it diffi-
cult to keep a proper distance be-
tween vehicles because of frequent
acceleration or deceleration
– Interference by other radar sources.
• Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not de-
tect a vehicle ahead.
• In some road or traffic conditions, a ve-
hicle or object can unexpectedly come
into the sensor detection zone and cause
automatic braking. Always stay alert
and avoid using the ICC system where
not recommended in this warning
section.
The ICC system will not detect the following
objects:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
• Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
The following are some conditions in which
the radar sensor cannot properly detect a
vehicle ahead and the system may not oper-
ate properly: • When the sensor detection is reduced (con-
ditions such as rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray from other
vehicles)
• Driving on a steep downhill slope or roads with sharp curves
• Driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven dirt road
• If dirt, ice, snow or other material is cover- ing the radar sensor area
• A complicated-shaped vehicle such as a car carrier trailer or flatbed truck/trailer is near
the vehicle ahead.
• Interference by other radar sources
• When your vehicle is towing a trailer, etc.
• When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or cargo area of your
vehicle.
The ICC system is designed to automatically
check the radar sensor’s operation within the
limitations of the system.
The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the detec-
tion zone for the ICC system to maintain the
selected distance from the vehicle ahead. A
vehicle ahead may move outside of the de-
tection zone due to its position within the
same lane of travel. Motorcycles may not be
detected in the same lane ahead if they are
5-106Starting and driving

traveling offset from the center line of the
lane. A vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane.
If this occurs, the ICC system may warn you
by blinking the system indicator and sounding
the chime. The driver may have to manually
control the proper distance away from the
vehicle traveling ahead.
The ICC system (with ProPILOT Assist) uses
a multi-sensing front camera. The following
are some conditions in which the camera may
not properly detect a vehicle and detection of
a vehicle ahead may be delayed:
• Poor visibility (conditions such as rain,snow, fog, dust storms, sandstorms, and
road spray from other vehicles)
• The camera area of the windshield is fogged up or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
• Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles) enters the
front camera
• A sudden change in brightness occurs (for example, when the vehicle enters or exits a
tunnel or shaded area or lightning flashes)

Starting and driving5-107

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

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the Steering Assist
could result in serious injury or death.
• The Steering Assist is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to correct careless, inattentive
or absent-minded driving. The Steering
Assist will not always steer the vehicle to
keep it in the lane. It is not designed to
prevent loss of control. 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.
• As there is a performance limit to the
Steering Assist’s capability, never rely
solely on the system. The Steering Assist
does not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. Always
drive safely, pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle, and manually control
your vehicle appropriately.
• The Steering Assist is intended for use on
well-developed freeways or highways
with gentle (moderate) curves. To avoid
risk of an accident, do not use this system
on local or non-highway roads. •
The Steering Assist only steers the ve-
hicle to maintain its position in the center
of a lane. The vehicle will not steer to
avoid objects in the road in front of the
vehicle or to avoid a vehicle moving into
your lane.
• 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. Never take your
hands off the steering wheel when driv-
ing. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your vehicle
safely.
• Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the Steering Assist. Read
and understand the Owner’s Manual
thoroughly before using the Steering As-
sist. To avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent acci-
dents or to control the vehicle’s speed in
emergency situations. Do not use the
Steering Assist except in appropriate
road and traffic conditions.
Starting and driving5-111

Steering Assist operation
The Steering Assist controls the steering sys-
tem to help keep your vehicle near the center
of the lane when driving. The Steering Assist
is combined with the Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC) system. For additional information,
see “Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) (for ve-
hicles with ProPILOT Assist)” (P. 5-97).
The Steering Assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
• The ICC system is activated.
• Lane markers on both sides are clearlydetected.
• A vehicle ahead is detected (when the ve- hicle is driven at speeds under 37 mph [60
km/h]).
• The driver grips the steering wheel.
• The vehicle is driven at the center of the lane.
• The turn signals are not operated.
• The windshield wiper is not operated in the high (HI) speed operation (the Steering As-
sist function is disabled after the wiper op-
erates for approximately 10 seconds).
