When the ICC system detects a vehicle
ahead, the vehicle ahead detection indi-
cator and the speed control status in-
d i c a t o r

( d i s t a n c e

c o n t r o l

m o d e )

illuminates in green.

*: The design of the set display may differ
depending on the model.

Vehicle ahead stops:

When a vehicle ahead is detected and it
gradually decelerates to stop, your vehi-
cle decelerates to a standstill. When your
vehicle is at a standstill, the “(RES+) Follow
Vehicle Ahead” message is displayed on
the vehicle information display.

Vehicle ahead accelerates:

.

When your vehicle is stopped for less
than approximately 3 seconds and the
vehicle ahead begins to move, your
vehicle will start moving again auto-
matically.

.

When your vehicle is at a standstill for
more than approximately 3 seconds
and the vehicle ahead begins to
accelerate, push up the CANCEL
switch to RES+ or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal. The ICC system
starts to follow the vehicle ahead.

.

Always check surroundings before
restarting the vehicle.

.

For vehicles equipped with ProPILOT
Assist with Navi-link and only when on
a limited access freeway (as identified
in the navigation map data):
— The time the vehicle can remain

stopped and automatically restart
is extended from 3 seconds to 30
seconds.

— If a vehicle ahead cuts in or out of

the lane ahead, the vehicle may not
automatically start when the traffic
ahead begins to move. You need to
push up the CANCEL switch to RES+
or lightly depress the accelerator
pedal to follow the vehicle directly
ahead when it is safe to do so.

Vehicle ahead not detected:

When a vehicle is no longer detected
ahead, the ICC system gradually acceler-
ates your vehicle to resume the pre-
viously vehicle set speed. The ICC
system then maintains the vehicle set
speed.

When a vehicle is no longer detected, the
vehicle ahead detection indicator and
speed control status indicator (maintain
speed control mode) turn off.

The ICC system gradually accelerates to
the vehicle set speed, but you can de-
press the accelerator pedal to quickly
accelerate. When a vehicle is no longer

detected and your vehicle is traveling
under approximately 15 MPH (25 km/h),
the ICC system automatically cancels. For
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link equipped
vehicles on a limited access freeway as
identified in the navigation map data, the
ICC system cancels and a warning chime
sounds if your vehicle is at a standstill for
more than approximately 3 seconds and
a vehicle is not detected ahead.

When passing another vehicle, the vehicle
set speed indicator

flashes when the

vehicle speed exceeds the set speed. The
vehicle ahead detection indicator turns
off when the area ahead of the vehicle is
open. When the pedal is released, the
vehicle returns 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
inform 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
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).

Acceleration when passing

When the ICC system is engaged above
44 MPH (70 km/h) and following a slower
vehicle (below the vehicle set speed), and
the turn signal is activated to the left, the
ICC system will automatically start to
accelerate the vehicle to help initiate
passing on the left and will begin to
reduce the distance to vehicle directly
ahead. Only the left side turn signal
operates this feature. As the driver steers
the vehicle and moves into the passing
lane, if no vehicle is detected ahead the
ICC system will continue to accelerate to
the vehicle set speed. If another vehicle is
detected ahead, then the vehicle will
accelerate up to the following speed of
that vehicle. If the vehicle is not steered
into the left lane to pass, the acceleration
will stop after a short time and regain the
set following distance. Acceleration can
be stopped at any point by depressing
the brake pedal or the CANCEL switch on
the steering wheel.

WARNING

In order to reduce the risk of a
collision that may result in serious
injury or death, please be aware of
the following:

.

This function is only activated
with the left turn signal and will
briefly accelerate the vehicle even
if a lane change is not initiated.
This can include non-passing si-
tuations such as left side exits.

.

Ensure that when passing an-
other vehicle, the adjacent lane
is clear before initiating the pass.
Sudden changes in traffic may
occur while passing. Always
manually steer or brake as
needed. Never solely rely on the
system.

Speed Limit Assist - a feature of
ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if so
equipped)

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the Speed Limit Assist. Fail-
u r e t o o p e r a t e t h e v e h i c l e i n
accordance with these system lim-
itations could result in serious injury

.

While the accelerator pedal is oper-
ated with AUTO mode selected, the
Speed Limit Assist will function
(automatically adjust the vehicle set
speed) only when the detected
speed limit is faster than the vehicle
set speed.

.

In the following situations, the
Speed Limit Assist will not operate:

—

When an increase in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the

vehicle set speed is already faster
than the new speed limit.

—

When a decrease in the posted
speed limit is detected, but the
vehicle set speed is already lower
than the new speed limit.

Speed Adjust by Route - a feature
of ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (if
so equipped)

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the Speed Adjust by Route.
Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system lim-
itations could result in serious injury
or death:

.

There are limitations to the Speed
Adjust by Route system capabil-
ity. The system does not function
in all driving, traffic, weather and
road conditions. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, and be in control of the
vehicle at all times.

.

mation provided by the navigation sys-
tem and can adjust the vehicle speed
depending on curves, junctions and exits.
The system may not always reduce speed
for all curves, junctions or exits and the
driver may need to apply additional brak-
ing at any time.

When the vehicle is through the curve or
junction, the vehicle will accelerate again
to the set speed. When exiting the limited
access freeway, the driver will need to
apply braking at the end of the exit.

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 highways and
freeways. It is not advisable to
use the ICC system in city/urban
traffic.

.

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
a c c e l e r a t e i f t h e v e h i c l e i s
stopped for less than approxi-
mately 3 seconds. Be prepared
to stop your vehicle if necessary.

.

For vehicles equipped with ProPI-
LOT Assist with Navi-link and only
when on a limited access freeway
(as identified in the navigation

map data):

— The time the vehicle can re-

main stopped and automati-
cally restart is extended from
3 seconds to 30 seconds.

— If a vehicle ahead cuts in or

out of the lane ahead, the
vehicle may not automatically
start when the traffic ahead
begins to move. You need to
push up the CANCEL switch to
RES+ or lightly depress the
accelerator pedal to follow
the vehicle directly ahead
when it is safe to do so.

.

Always check surroundings be-
fore restarting the vehicle.

.

Always pay attention to the op-
eration of the vehicle and be
ready to manually control the
proper following distance. The
ICC system may not be able to
maintain the selected distance
between vehicles (following dis-
tance) or selected vehicle speed
under some circumstances.

.

The ICC system does not detect
the following objects:

— Stationary or slow moving ve-

hicles (when your vehicle is

Starting and driving

5-109

5-110

Starting and driving

approaching them)

— Pedestrians or objects in the

roadway

— Oncoming vehicles in the

same lane

— Motorcycles traveling offset in

the travel lane

.

The ICC system may not detect a
vehicle ahead in certain road,
weather or driving conditions. To
avoid accidents, never use the ICC
system under the following con-
ditions:

— On roads with heavy, high-

speed traffic or sharp curves

— On slippery road surfaces

such as on ice or snow, etc.

— On a bumpy road surface,

such as an uneven dirt road

— On steep downhill roads (the

vehicle may go beyond the
vehicle set speed and fre-
quent braking may result in
overheating the brakes)

— On repeated uphill and down-

hill roads

— During bad weather (rain, fog,

snow, etc.)

— When the sensor detection is

reduced (conditions such as
rain, snow, fog, dust storms,
sandstorms, and road spray
from other vehicles)

— When dirt, ice, snow or other

material adhere to the radar
sensor area

— When traffic conditions make

it difficult to keep a proper
distance between vehicles be-
cause of frequent accelera-
tion or deceleration

— When a complicated-shaped

vehicle such as a car carrier
trailer or flatbed truck/trailer
is near the vehicle ahead

— When there is interference by

other radar sources

— When excessively heavy bag-

gage is loaded in the rear seat
or cargo area of your vehicle

— When towing a trailer or other

vehicle

.

In some road or traffic conditions,
a vehicle or object can unexpect-
edly come into the sensor detec-
tion zone and cause automatic
braking. Always stay alert and

avoid using the ICC system where
not recommended in this warn-
ing section.

.

The ICC system also uses a multi-
sensing front camera. The follow-
ing are some conditions in which
the camera may not properly
detect a vehicle and detection of
a vehicle ahead may be delayed:

— Poor visibility (conditions such

a s r a i n , s n o w , f o g , d u s t
storms, sandstorms, and road
spray from other vehicles)

— The camera area of the wind-

shield is fogged up or covered
with dirt, water drops, ice,
snow, etc.

— Strong light (for example, sun-

light or high beams from on-
coming vehicles) enters the
front camera

— A sudden change in bright-

ness occurs (for example,
when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or shaded area
or lightning flashes)

The ICC system is designed to automati-
cally check the radar sensor’s operation
within the limitations of the system.

The detection zone of the radar sensor is
limited. A vehicle ahead must be in the
detection zone for the ICC system to
maintain the selected distance from the
vehicle ahead. A vehicle ahead may move
outside of the detection zone due to its
position within the same lane of travel.
Motorcycles may not be detected in the
same lane ahead if they are traveling
offset from the center line of the lane. A
vehicle that is entering the lane ahead
may not be detected until the vehicle has
completely moved into the lane.

If this occurs, the ICC system may warn
you by blinking the system indicator and
sounding the chime. The driver may have
to manually control the proper distance
away from the vehicle traveling ahead.

Starting 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.

ICC 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

Steering Assist could result in ser-
ious injury or death.

.

The Steering Assist is not a re-
placement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to
correct careless, inattentive or
a b s e n t - m i n d e d d r i v i n g . T h e
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
function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. Al-
ways drive safely, pay attention
to the operation of the vehicle,
and manually control your vehicle
appropriately.

.

The Steering Assist is intended
for use on well-developed high-
ways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an acci-
dent, 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

Steering Assist helps the driver keep the
vehicle near the center of the lane when
both right and left lane markers are
detected. Steering Assist only operates
when combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC)” (P.5-100).

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 high speed position (the Steer-
ing Assist function is disabled after the
wiper operates for approximately 10
seconds in the high speed position).

When the Steering Assist is in operation,
the Steering Assist status indicator

, the

Steering Assist indicator

, and the lane

marker indicator

and

on the vehicle

information 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 indicator

and

on the vehicle

information display turn gray and a chime
sounds twice.

Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI)

With the Steering Assist active, when a
curve or strong cross wind exceeds the
capabilities of the system and your vehi-
cle approaches either the left or the right
side of the traveling lane, the I-LI system
will flash the I-LI indicator on the vehicle
information display and provide steering
wheel vibration to alert the driver. The
warning chime will also sound (4 rapid
beeps). Then, the I-LI system automati-
cally 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 and the warnings
cannot be turned off. For more informa-
tion, see “Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-
LI)” (P.5-52).

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, the
warning

appears in the vehicle infor-

mation display and the hands OFF warn-
ing light

illuminates.

If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played and the warning light illuminated,
an audible alert sounds and both the
warning and the warning light flash. If the
driver still does not operate the steering

wheel, the system applies a momentary
brake application to request the driver to
take control of the vehicle again.

If the driver still does not respond, the
system turns on the hazard flasher and
slows the vehicle to a complete 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.

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.
