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.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ProPILOT Assist
system could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving sys-tem. 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 re- placement for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to correct careless,
inattentive or absent-minded driving.
ProPILOT Assist will not always steer
the vehicle to keep it in the lane. The Pro-
PILOT Assist system 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.
∙ There are limitations to the ProPILOT Assist system capability. The ProPILOT
Assist system does not function in all
driving, traffic, weather, and road condi-
tions. 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. ∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is only an
aid to assist the driver and is not a colli-
sion warning or avoidance device.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system is for high- way 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. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and drive
your vehicle safely.
∙ The ProPILOT Assist system does not re- act to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.
∙ Always drive carefully and attentively when using the ProPILOT Assist system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly before using the Pro-
PILOT Assist system. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, do not rely on the system to
prevent accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system ex-
cept in appropriate road and traffic
conditions. 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
Ainstalled behind the
windshield and a radar sensor located on the
front of the vehicle
Bto measure the dis-
tance 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.

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 conven-
tional (fixed speed) cruise control mode. ∙Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode: The ICC system maintains a se-
lected 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 se-
lected by the driver between 20 to
LSD2996
Starting and driving5-109

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. – When your vehicle is at a standstill formore than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the ac-
celerator 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 Forward Emergency Braking
with Pedestrian Detection setting is turned
off by the driver using the “Driver Assis-
tance” menu in the lower display, Forward
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detec-
tion 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).
