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 con-
trol mode: For cruising at a preset speed
NOTE:Steering Assist is not available in the
conventional (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 selected by the
driver between 20 to 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 brak-
ing force to keep your vehicle stopped.

still for more than 3 seconds and
the vehicle ahead begins to accel-
erate, push the RES+ switch or
lightly depress the accelerator
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.
• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As- sist with Navi-link and only when on a
limited access freeway (as identified in
the navigation map data):– The time the vehicle can remain stopped and automatically restart is
extended from 3 seconds to 30
seconds.

rolling unexpectedly, which could re-
sult in serious personal injury or prop-
erty damage, before exiting the vehicle
make sure to push the ProPILOT Assist
switch to turn the system off, press the
park button to shif t to the P (Park) po-
sition, and turn the engine off.
INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL
(ICC) (for vehicles with ProPILOT
Assist)
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the ICC sys-
tem 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 rec-
ommended for highway use only and
it is not intended for city driving. It is
the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
• There are limitations to the ICC sys-
tem capability. The ICC system does
not function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. 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.
• 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.
Starting and driving5-103

•Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ICC system.
Read and understand the Owner’s
Manual thoroughly 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 situa-
tions. Do not use the ICC system ex-
cept 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 decel-
erates the vehicle as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates 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 condi-
tions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly
constant or when vehicle speeds change
gradually. If a vehicle moves into the travel-
ing lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling
ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance be-
tween vehicles may become closer be-
cause the ICC system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs,
the ICC system sounds a warning chime
and blinks the system display to notif y the
driver to take necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (24 km/h) and a vehicle
is not detected ahead. For ProPILOT Assist
with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a lim-
ited access freeway as identified in the
navigation map data, the ICC system can-
cels and a warning chime sounds if your
vehicle is at a standstill for more than ap-
proximately 3 seconds and a vehicle is not
detected 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 (32 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 ve-
hicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. Once your ve-
hicle stops, the ICC system keeps the ve-
hicle 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 begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accel-
erator pedal. The ICC system starts to
follow the vehicle ahead.
• When the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the ICC sys-
tem 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 attention to vehicle operation to
maintain proper distance from vehicles
ahead when approaching toll gates or traf-
fic congestion.
5-104Starting and driving

NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come onwhen braking is performed by the ICC
system.
• When the brake is applied by the sys- tem, a noise may be heard. This is not a
malfunction.
When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indica-
tor and the speed control status indicator
(distance control mode) illuminates (solid
green
).
Vehicle ahead stops
When the vehicle ahead decelerates to
stop, your vehicle decelerates to a stand-
still. Once your vehicle stops, the ICC sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes to
keep the vehicle stopped. When your ve-
hicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Press to
start” message is displayed on the vehicle
information display.
NOTE:
When your vehicle stops for less than 3
seconds, your vehicle will automatically
follow the vehicle as it accelerates from a
stop.
Vehicle ahead accelerates
• When your vehicle is stopped for less than approximately 3 seconds and the
vehicle ahead begins to move, your ve-
hicle will start moving again
automatically.
• When your vehicle is at a standstill for more than approximately 3 seconds and
the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate,
push up the RES+ switch or lightly de-
press the accelerator pedal. The ICC sys-
tem starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
• Always check surroundings before re- starting the vehicle.
• For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT As- sist with Navi-link and only when on a
limited access freeway (as identified in
the navigation map data):– The time the vehicle can remain stopped and automatically restart is
extended from 3 seconds to 30
seconds.
– If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of the lane ahead, the vehicle may not auto-
matically start when the traffic ahead
begins to move. You need to push up
the RES+ switch or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal to follow the vehicle
directly ahead when it is safe to do so.
Vehicle ahead not detected
When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates 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
and speed control status indicator (main-
tain speed control mode) illuminates
(green outline
).
The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the set speed, but you can depress the
accelerator pedal to quickly accelerate.
When a vehicle is no longer detected and
your vehicle is traveling under approxi-
mately 15 mph (24 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.
Starting and driving5-107

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle conditions (for ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).
Acceleration when passing
When the ICC system is engaged above 44
mph and following a slower vehicle (below
ICC set speed), and the turn signal is acti-
vated to the lef t, the ICC system will auto-
matically start to accelerate the vehicle to
help initiate passing on the lef t and will
begin to reduce the distance to vehicle di-
rectly ahead. Only the lef t side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the ICC
system will continue to accelerate to the
ICC system set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will accel-
erate up to the following speed of that ve-
hicle. If the vehicle is not steered into the
lef t lane to pass, the acceleration will stop
af ter a short time and regain the set follow-
ing distance. Acceleration can be stopped
at any point by depressing the brake pedal
or the CANCEL switch on the steering
wheel.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of a collision
that may result in serious injury or
death, please be aware of the following:
• This function is only activated with
the lef t turn signal and will briefly ac-
celerate the vehicle even if a lane
change is not initiated. This can in-
clude non-passing situations such as
lef t side exits.
• Ensure that when passing another
vehicle, the adjacent lane is clear be-
fore initiating the pass. Sudden
changes in traffic may occur while
passing- always manually steer or
brake as needed- never solely rely on
the system.
Speed Limit Assist-afe ature of
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if
so equipped)
When the ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link is
active and it detects a change of the speed
limit, the new speed limit is indicated and it
can be applied to the vehicle set speed
automatically or manually. The Speed Limit Assist operates:
• When the detected speed limit is 20 mph
(30 km/h) and above.
• The “Spd. Limit Assist” is enabled in the settings menu of the vehicle information
display.
NOTE:
•While the accelerator pedal is operated
with AUTO mode selected, the Speed
Limit Assist will function (automatically
adjusts the vehicle set speed) only
when the detected speed limit is faster
than the vehicle set speed.
• In the following situations, the Speed
Limit Assist will not operate: – When an increase in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve-
hicle set speed is already faster than
the new speed limit.
– When a decrease in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the ve-
hicle set speed is already lower than
the new speed limit.
Starting and driving5-109

•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 auto-
matically 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 over-
come poor visibility in rain, fog, or
other bad weather. Decelerate the
vehicle speed by depressing the
brake pedal, depending on the dis-
tance 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 ap-
proximately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary. •
Always check surroundings before
restarting the vehicle.
• Always pay attention to the opera-
tion of the vehicle and be ready to
manually control the proper follow-
ing distance. The ICC system may not
be able to maintain the selected dis-
tance between vehicles (following
distance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.
• The system may not detect the ve-
hicle in front of you in certain road or
weather conditions. To avoid acci-
dents, never use the ICC system un-
der the following conditions:
– 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 ve-
hicle may go beyond the set ve-
hicle speed and frequent braking
may result in overheating the
brakes)
– On repeated uphill and downhill
roads
– When traffic conditions make it
difficult to keep a proper distance
between vehicles because of fre-
quent acceleration or
deceleration
– Interference by other radar
sources.
• Do not use the ICC system if you are
towing a trailer. The system may not
detect a vehicle ahead.
• In some road or traffic conditions, a
vehicle or object can unexpectedly
come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Al-
ways stay alert and avoid using the
ICC system where not recommended
in this warning section.
Starting and driving5-113

When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction, the radar
sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a ve-
hicle 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 ma-
neuver 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 sound-
ing the chime unexpectedly. You will have to
manually control the proper distance away
from the vehicle traveling ahead.
