When driving on the freeway at a set
speed and approaching a slower traveling
vehicle ahead, the ICC system will adjust
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 will
accelerate and maintain 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.
Normally when controlling the distance toa vehicle ahead, this system automati-
cally accelerates or decelerates your ve-
hicle according to the speed of the
vehicle ahead. Depress the accelerator
to properly accelerate your vehicle when
acceleration is required for a lane change.
Depress the brake pedal when decelera-
tion is required to maintain a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to its
sudden braking or if a vehicle cuts in.
Always stay alert when using the ICC
system.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode switches
The system is operated by a CRUISE ON/
OFF switch and four control switches, all
mounted on the steering wheel.
1. RES/+ switch:
Resumes set speed or increases speed
incrementally.
2. CANCEL switch: Deactivates the system without eras-
ing the set speed.
3. SET/- switch:
Sets desired cruise speed, reduces
speed incrementally.

Approach warning
If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that
vehicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the
system warns the driver with the chime
and ICC system display. Decelerate by
depressing the brake pedal to maintain a
safe vehicle distance if:
.The chime sounds.
. The vehicle ahead detection indicator
blinks.
The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short dis-
tance between vehicles. Some examples
are:
. When the vehicles are traveling at the
same speed and the distance be-
tween vehicles is not changing
. When the vehicle ahead is traveling
faster and the distance between ve-
hicles is increasing
. When a vehicle cuts in near your
vehicle
The warning chime will not sound when:
. Your vehicle approaches other vehi-
cles that are parked or moving slowly.
. The accelerator pedal is depressed,
overriding the system. NOTE:
The approach warning chime may
sound and the system display may
blink when the radar sensor detects
objects on the side of the vehicle or on
the side of the road. This may cause the
ICC system to decelerate or accelerate
the vehicle. The radar sensor may de-
tect these objects when the vehicle is
driven on winding roads, narrow roads,
hilly roads or when entering or exiting a
curve. In these cases you will have to
manually control the proper distance
ahead of your vehicle.
Also, the sensor sensitivity can be af-
fected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver or driving position in the lane)
or traffic or vehicle condition (for example,
if a vehicle is being driven with some
damage).
Automatic cancellation
A chime sounds under the following
conditions and the control is automati-
cally canceled.
.
When the vehicle ahead is not de-
tected and your vehicle is traveling
below the speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) position or manual shift mode .
When the parking brake is applied
. When the VDC system is turned off
. When VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor
. When a wheel slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode limitations
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the ICC system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
.The system is primarily intended
for use on straight, dry, open
roads with light traffic. It is not
advisable to use the system in
city traffic or congested areas.
. This 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

SSD0253
When driving on some roads, such as
winding, 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 vehicle traveling ahead. This
may cause the ICC system to decelerate
or accelerate the vehicle.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering
maneuver 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 travel- ing ahead.
System temporarily unavailable
The following are conditions in which the
ICC system may be temporarily unavail-
able. In these instances, the ICC system
may not cancel and may not be able to
maintain the selected following distance
from the vehicle ahead.
Condition A:
Under the following conditions, the ICC
system is automatically canceled. A chime
will sound and the system will not be able
to be set:
.
When the VDC is turned off
. When the VDC (including the traction
control system) operates
. When a vehicle ahead is not detected
and your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h)
. When the system judges the vehicle is
at a standstill
. When the shift lever is not in the D
(Drive) or manual shift mode
. When the parking brake is applied
. When a tire slips
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted
Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
ProPILOT assist system could result
in serious injury or death.
.ProPILOT assist is not a self-driv-
ing system. 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 replacement for proper driving
procedures and is not designed
to correct careless, inattentive or
absentminded driving. ProPILOT
assist will not always steer the
vehicle to keep it in the lane. The
ProPILOT assist system is not
designed to prevent loss of con-
trol. 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 Pro-
PILOT assist system capability.
The ProPILOT assist 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 vehi-
cle 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 collision warning or
avoidance device.
. The ProPILOT assist system is for
highway 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. Al-
ways keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Never unfasten your safety belt
when using ProPILOT assist.
Doing so automatically cancels
the ProPILOT assist system.
. The ProPILOT assist system does
not react to stationary and slow
moving vehicles. .
Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the ProPILOT
assist system. Read and under-
stand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ProPILOT
assist 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 ProPILOT assist system
except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM OPERA-
TION
The ProPILOT assist system has the
following 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 con-
trol mode.
. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode:
The ICC system maintains a selected
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 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 for
more than 3 seconds and the vehicle
ahead begins to accelerate, 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.
NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) setting is turned off by the
driver using the “Settings” menu in the
vehicle information display, AEB 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).
