SET– switch and release it.
• Push and hold the SET– switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows to the de-
sired speed.
• Push and release the SET– switch. Each time you do this, the set speed decreases by
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the RES+ switch. The vehicle returns to
the last set cruising speed when the vehicle
speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).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
system. Within the limits of its capabili-
ties, 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.
• Never unfasten your safety belt when
using ProPILOT Assist. Doing so auto-
matically cancels the ProPILOT Assist
system.
• The ProPILOT Assist system does not
react to stationary and slow moving
vehicles.

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 respon-
sibility 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
function in all driving, traffic, weather,
and road conditions. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility 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
understand 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
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.
ICC system operation
The ICC system is designed to maintain a
selected distance from the vehicle in front of
you and can reduce the speed to match a
slower vehicle ahead. The system decelerates
the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle
Starting and driving5-87

ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler-
ates to a standstill. However, the ICC system
can only apply up to 40% of the vehicle’s total
braking power. This system should only be
used when traffic conditions allow vehicle
speeds to remain fairly constant or when ve-
hicle speeds change gradually. If a vehicle
moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a
vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates,
the distance between vehicles may become
closer because the ICC system cannot decel-
erate the vehicle quickly enough. If this oc-
curs, the ICC system sounds a warning chime
and blinks the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning chime
sounds if the speed is below approximately
15 mph (25 km/h) and a vehicle is not de-
tected ahead.
The ICC system operates as follows:
• When there are no vehicles traveling ahead,the ICC system maintains the speed set by
the driver. The set speed range is between
approximately 20 and 90 mph (30 and 144
km/h). • When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the
ICC system adjusts the speed to maintain
the distance, selected by the driver, from
the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead
comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to
a standstill. Once your vehicle stops, the
ICC system keeps the vehicle stopped.
• 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 for more than 3 seconds and the vehicle ahead be-
gins to accelerate, push the RES+ switch or
lightly depress the accelerator pedal. The
ICC system starts to follow the vehicle
ahead.
• When the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the ICC system
accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up
to the set speed.
The ICC system does not control vehicle
speed or warn you when you approach sta-
tionary and slow moving vehicles. You must
pay attention to vehicle operation to main-
tain proper distance from vehicles ahead
when approaching toll gates or traffic
congestion. 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.
