When the SET- switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the ProPILOT Assist
system cannot be set and the set vehicle

2 seconds:
• When traveling below 20 mph (30 km/h) and the vehicle ahead is not detected
• When the shift lever is not in the D (Drive) position or manual shift mode
• When the electronic parking brake is applied
• When the brakes are operated by the driver • When the VDC system is off. For additional
information, see “Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system” (P. 5-142).
• When the VDC system (including the trac- tion control system) is operating
• When a wheel is slipping
• When any door is open
• When the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
How to change the set vehicle
speed
The set vehicle speed can be adjusted.
To change to a faster cruising speed:
• Push and hold the RES+ switch. The set vehicle speed increases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the RES+ switch. Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).

To change to a slower cruising speed:
• Push and hold the SET- switch. The setvehicle speed decreases by approximately
5 mph (5 km/h).
• Push, then quickly release, the SET- switch. Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
How to momentarily accelerate or
decelerate
• Depress the accelerator pedal when accel-eration is required. Release the accelerator
pedal to resume the previously set vehicle
speed.
• Depress the brake pedal when deceleration is required. Control by the ProPILOT Assist
system is canceled. Push the RES+ switch
to resume the previously set vehicle speed.
WARNING
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
and you are approaching the vehicle ahead,
the ICC system will neither control the
brake nor warn the driver with the chime
and display. The driver must manually con-
trol the vehicle speed to maintain a safe
distance to the vehicle ahead. Failure to do
so could result in severe personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
When you accelerate by depressing the ac-
celerator pedal or decelerate by pushing the
SET- switch and the vehicle travels faster
than the speed set by the driver, the set
speed vehicle indicator will blink.
How to change the set distance to
the vehicle ahead
The distance to the vehicle ahead can be
selected at any time.
Each time the DISTANCE switch
OAis
pushed, the set distance will change to long,
middle, short and back to long again in that
sequence.

To cancel the ProPILOT Assist system, use
one of the following methods:
• Push the CANCEL switch.
• Tap the brake pedal (except at a standstill).
• Push the ProPILOT Assist switch to turnthe system off. The ProPILOT Assist status
indicator will go out.
When the ProPILOT Assist system is canceled
while the vehicle is stopped, the electronic
parking brake is automatically activated.
WARNING
To prevent the vehicle from moving or roll-
ing unexpectedly, which could result in se-
rious personal injury or property damage,
before exiting the vehicle make sure to
push the ProPILOT Assist switch to turn
the system off, place the shift position in
the P (Park) position, and turn the engine
off.
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
5-84Starting and driving

the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle
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 stationary
and slow moving vehicles. You must pay atten-
tion to vehicle operation to maintain proper
distance from vehicles ahead when approach-
ing 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.
SSD0254
Starting and driving5-85

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.
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 ICC system then controls the
vehicle speed based on the speed of the ve-
hicle ahead to maintain the driver selected
distance.
