PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)

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.

.

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.

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 ProPILOT assist system is intended to

enhance the operation of the vehicle

when following a vehicle traveling in the

same lane and direction.

The ProPILOT assist system uses a multi-

sensing front camera

installed behind

the windshield and a radar sensor located

on the front of the vehicle to measure

the distance to the vehicle ahead in the

same lane and to monitor the lane

markers. If the vehicle detects a slower

moving vehicle ahead, the system will

reduce the vehicle speed so that your

vehicle follows the vehicle in front at the

selected distance. The system will also

help keep the vehicle centered in the

traveling lane when clear lane markings

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.

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.
