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
and set distance indicator blink.
. You judge it necessary to maintain a
safe distance.
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
flash 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, narrow, or hilly roads
or when the vehicle is 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 conditions
(for example, if a vehicle is being driven
with some damage).
ICC system 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 ICC system is primarily in-
tended 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
automatically 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 sys-
tem. This system does not correct
careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving or overcome poor
visibility in rain, fog, or other bad
weather. Decelerate the vehicle
speed by depressing the brake
pedal, depending on the distance
to the vehicle ahead and the
surrounding circumstances in or-
der to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
. When the ICC system automati-
cally brings the vehicle to a stop,
your vehicle can automatically
accelerate if the vehicle is
stopped for less than approxi-
Starting and driving5-101

5-104Starting and driving
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 traveling
ahead.
Automatic cancellation
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:
. Any door is open.
. The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
. The vehicle ahead is not detected and
your vehicle is traveling below the
speed of 15 MPH (24 km/h).
. Your vehicle has been stopped by the
ICC system for approximately 3 min-
utes or longer.
. The shift lever is not in the D (Drive)
position or manual shift mode.
. The electronic parking brake is ap-
plied.
. The VDC system is turned off.
. The AEB applies harder braking
. VDC (including the traction control
system) operates.
. A wheel slips.
. When distance measurement be-
comes impaired due to adhesion of
dirt or obstruction to the sensor.
. When the radar signal is temporarily
interrupted. Action to take:
When the conditions listed above are no
longer present, turn the system off using
the ProPILOT Assist switch. Turn the
ProPILOT Assist system back on to use
the system.
NOTE:
When the ICC system is canceled under
the following conditions at a standstill,
the electronic parking brake is automa-
tically activated:
.
Any door is open.
. The driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
. Your vehicle has been stopped by
the ICC system for approximately 3
minutes or longer.

STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
steering assist could result in serious
injury or death.
.The steering assist is not a repla-
cement for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving. The
steering assist will not always
steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It 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.
. As there is a performance limit to
the steering assist’s capability,
never rely solely on the system.
The steering assist does not func-
tion in all driving, traffic, weather,
and road conditions. Always drive
safely, pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle, and manu-
ally control your vehicle
appropriately. .
The steering assist is intended for
use on well-developed freeways
or highways with gentle (moder-
ate) curves. To avoid risk of an
accident,do not use this system
on local or non-highway roads.
. The steering assist only steers
the vehicle to maintain its posi-
tion in the center of a lane. The
vehicle will not steer to avoid
objects in the road in front of
the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle
moving into your lane.
. 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. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel when driving.
Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the steering
assist. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the steering assist. To
avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the steering assist except in appropriate road
and traffic conditions.
Steering assist operation
The steering assist controls the steering
system to help keep your vehicle near the
center of the lane when driving. The
steering assist is combined with the
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system.
For additional information, see “Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) (models with ProPI-
LOT assist)” (P.5-97).
The steering assist can be activated when
the following conditions are met:
.
The ICC system is activated.
. Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
. A vehicle ahead is detected (when the
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h)).
. The driver grips the steering wheel.
. The vehicle is driven at the center of
the lane.
. The turn signals are not operated.
. The windshield wiper is not operated
in the low or high speed operation
(the steering assist function is dis-
abled after the wiper operates for
approximately 10 seconds).

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)
When a curve or strong cross wind
exceeds the capabilities of the Steering
Assist and your vehicle approaches either
the left or the right side of the traveling
lane, a warning chime sounds and the I-LI
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel flashes to alert the driver. Then, the
I-LI system automatically applies the
brakes for a short period of time to help
assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane. This
action is in addition to any Steering Assist
actions. For more information, see “Intel-
ligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)” (P.5-40).

Hands on detection
When the Steering assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel op-
eration.
If the steering wheel is not operated or
the driver takes his/her hands off the
steering wheel for a period of time, thewarning (1) appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played, an audible alert sounds and the
warning flashes in the vehicle information
display, followed by a quick brake appli-
cation to request the driver to takecontrol of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the
ProPILOT assist turns on the hazard
flasher and slows the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerat-
ing, or operating the ProPILOT assist
switch.
WARNING
Steering assist is not a system for a
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely. Failure to
do so could cause a collision result-
ing in serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the steering
wheel and a sequence of warnings
may occur. When the driver holds and
operates the steering wheel again, the
warnings turn off.

Steering assist limitations
WARNING
.In the following situations, the
camera may not detect lane mar-
kers correctly or may detect lane
markers incorrectly and the
steering assist may not operate
properly:
— When driving on roads where
there are multiple parallel
lane markers, lane markers
that are faded or not painted
clearly, non-standard lane
markers, or lane markers cov-
ered with water, dirt, snow,
etc.
— When driving on roads with discontinued lane markers
— When driving on roads with a widening or narrowing lane
width
— When driving on roads where there are multiple lanes or
unclear lane markers due to
road construction
— When driving on roads where there are sharply contrasting
objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams, or lines remaining
after road repairs (the steer-
ing assist could detect these
items as lane markers)
— When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates
. Do not use the steering assist
under the following conditions
because the system may not
properly detect lane markers.
Doing so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in an
accident.
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, dust, etc.)

from oncoming vehicles)
shines on the camera — When the headlights are not
bright due to dirt on the lens
or the headlights are off in
tunnels or darkness
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs (for exam-
ple, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or is under a
bridge)
— When driving on roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates or where there are
temporary lane markers be-
cause of road construction
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs
— When driving on a bumpy road surface, such as an uneven
dirt road

panel)
AEB SYSTEM OPERATION
The AEB system will function when your
vehicle is driven at speeds above approxi-
mately 3 MPH (5 km/h).
If a risk of a forward collision is detected,
the AEB system will firstly provide the
warning to the driver by flashing the
warning (yellow) in the vehicle informa-
tion display and providing an audible
alert.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and
forcefully after the warning, and the AEB
system detects that there is still the
possibility of a forward collision, the
system will automatically increase the
braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the AEB
system issues the second visual (flashing)
(red) and audible warning. If the driver
releases the accelerator pedal, then the
system applies partial braking.
If the risk of a collision becomes immi-
nent, the AEB system applies harder
braking automatically.
While the AEB system is operating, you
may hear the sound of brake operation.
This is normal and indicates that the AEB
system is operating properly.

NOTE:
The vehicle’s stop lights come on when
braking is performed by the AEB sys-
tem.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead, as well as driving
and roadway conditions, the system may
help the driver avoid a forward collision or
may help mitigate the consequences of a
collision should one be unavoidable.
If the driver is handling the steering
wheel, accelerating or braking, the AEB
system will function later or will not
function.
The automatic braking will cease under
the following conditions:
.When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary to avoid a collision.
. When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
. When there is no longer a vehicle
detected ahead.
If the AEB system has stopped the vehicle,
the vehicle will remain at a standstill for
approximately 2 seconds before the
brakes are released.
