LOT Assist system could result in seri-
ous injury or death.

•

ProPILOT Assist is not a self-driving
system. Within the limits of its capa-
bilities, as described in this manual, it
helps the driver with certain driving
activities.

•

The ProPILOT Assist system is not a
replacement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to cor-
rect careless, inattentive or absent-
minded driving. ProPILOT Assist will
not always steer the vehicle to keep it
in the lane. The ProPILOT Assist sys-
tem 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.

PROPILOT ASSIST (if so equipped)

Starting and driving

5-69

•

There are limitations to the ProPILOT
Assist system capability. The ProPI-
LOT Assist system does not function
in all driving, traffic, weather, and
road conditions. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle 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

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 nec-
essary

may

result

serious

accident.

•

Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.

•

Never take your hands off the steer-
ing wheel when driving. Always 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 understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly before
using the ProPILOT Assist system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not
rely on the system to prevent acci-
dents or to control the vehicle’s
speed in emergency situations. Do
not use the ProPILOT Assist system
except in appropriate road and traffic
conditions.

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 mark-
ers. 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 are detected.

ProPILOT Assist switch

The ProPILOT Assist system has the follow-
ing two functions:

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

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 (30 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.

LSD3224

Starting and driving

5-71

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 de-
press the accelerator pedal. The
ICC system starts to follow the ve-
hicle 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 (30 km/h) to use this
function.

NOTE:
Even if the Automatic Emergency Brak-
ing (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection set-
ting is turned off by the driver using the
“Settings” menu in the vehicle informa-
tion display, AEB with Pedestrian Detec-
tion will be automatically turned on
when the Steering Assist system is
active.

Steering Assist

The Steering Assist function controls the
steering system to help keep your ve-
hicle within the traveling lane.

When there is no vehicle ahead, Steering
Assist is not available at speeds under 37
mph (60 km/h).

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.

•

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 notify the
driver to take necessary action.

The ICC system cancels and a warning
chime sounds if the speed is below ap-
proximately 15 mph (25 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 (30 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.

Starting and driving

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 atten-
tion 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 oc-
curs, you will have to manually control the
vehicle speed.

Normally when controlling the distance to
a vehicle ahead, the system automatically
accelerates or decelerates your vehicle ac-
cording to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

Depress the accelerator to properly accel-
erate your vehicle when acceleration is re-
quired for a lane change. Depress the brake
pedal when deceleration is required to
maintain a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead due to sudden braking or if a vehicle
cuts in. Always stay alert when using the
ICC system.

No vehicle detected ahead

The driver sets the desired vehicle speed
based on the road conditions. The ICC sys-
tem maintains the set vehicle speed, simi-
lar to standard cruise control, as long as no
vehicle is detected in the lane ahead. The
ICC system displays the set speed.

Vehicle detected ahead

When a vehicle is detected in the lane
ahead, the ICC system decelerates the ve-
hicle by controlling the throttle and apply-
ing the brakes to match the speed of a
slower vehicle ahead. The ICC system then
controls the vehicle speed based on the
speed of the vehicle ahead to maintain the
driver selected distance.

NOTE:
• The stop lights of the vehicle come on

when 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 is displayed and the speed control sta-
tus indicator 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+) Follow Ve-
hicle Ahead” 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 and the ve-
hicle ahead begins to accelerate, push the
RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal. The ICC system starts to follow
the vehicle ahead.

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-

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 (25 km/h), the ICC system
automatically cancels.

Starting and driving

When passing another vehicle, the set
speed indicator

flashes when the ve-

hicle speed exceeds the set speed. The ve-
hicle ahead detection indicator turns off
when the area ahead of the vehicle is open.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle re-
turns to the previously set speed. Even
though your vehicle speed is set in the ICC
system, you can depress the accelerator
pedal when it is necessary to accelerate
your vehicle rapidly.

Cut-in detection

If a vehicle moves into your traveling lane
near your vehicle, the ICC system may in-
form the driver by flashing the vehicle
ahead detection indicator.

Approach warning

If your vehicle comes closer to the vehicle
ahead due to rapid deceleration of that ve-
hicle or if another vehicle cuts in, the sys-
tem warns the driver with the chime and
ICC system display. Decelerate by depress-
ing the brake pedal to maintain a safe ve-
hicle distance if:
• The chime sounds.
• The vehicle ahead detection indicator

blinks.

• You judge it necessary to maintain a safe

distance.

The warning chime may not sound in
some cases when there is a short distance
between vehicles. Some examples are:
• When the vehicles are traveling at the

same speed and the distance between
vehicles is not changing.

• When the vehicle ahead is traveling faster

and the distance between vehicles is
increasing.

• When a vehicle cuts in near your vehicle.

The warning chime will not sound when:
• Your vehicle approaches other vehicles

that are parked or moving slowly.

• The accelerator pedal is depressed, over-

riding 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 detect 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 ex-
ample, if a vehicle is being driven with
some damage).
