water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves. — On roads where there are
sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs. (The LDW system could
detect these items as lane
markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane marker.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windshield in
front of the lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if the aiming is not adjusted
properly.

5-78Starting and driving
ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead
rapidly decelerates, the distance between
vehicles may become closer because 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 notify the
driver to take necessary action.
The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below
approximately 15 MPH (24 km/h) 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, se-
lected 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 begins 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 main-
tains 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
traffic congestion.
SSD0254
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 opera-
tion 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 to

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

When the steering assist is in operation,
the steering assist status indicator
, the
steering assist indicator, and the lane
marker indicatoron the vehicle infor-
mation display turn green. A chime
sounds when the steering assist initially
activates.
When the steering assist deactivates, the
steering assist status indicator
, the
steering assist indicator, and the lane
marker indicatoron the vehicle infor-
mation display turn gray and a chime
sounds twice.
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).

WAO0002X
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.
