.

The I-LI system is primarily in-

tended for use on well-developed

freeways or highways. It may not

detect the lane markers in certain

road, weather, or driving condi-

tions.

The I-LI system warns the driver if the

vehicle has left the center of the traveling

lane with the I-LI indicator and chime, and

helps assist the driver to return the

vehicle to the center of the traveling lane

by applying the brakes to the left or right

wheels individually (for a short period of

time).

The I-LI system monitors the lane mar-

kers on the traveling lane using the

camera unit

The BSW system is not a replace-

ment for proper driving proce-

dure and is not designed to

prevent contact with vehicles or

objects. When changing lanes, al-

ways use the side and rear mir-

rors and turn and look in the

direction your vehicle will move

to ensure it is safe to change

lanes. Never rely solely on the

BSW system.

JVS0649X

Detection zone

The radar sensors can detect vehicles on

either side of your vehicle within the

detection zone shown as illustrated. This

detection zone starts from the outside

mirror of your vehicle and extends ap-

proximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear

bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)

sideways.

Starting and driving 5-47

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION

The BSW system operates above approxi-

mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).

If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the

detection zone, the side indicator light

illuminates.

If the turn signal is then activated, the

system chimes (twice) and the side in-

dicator light flashes. The side indicator

light continues to flash until the detected

vehicle leaves the detection zone.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

— A vehicle approaching rapidly

from behind.

— A vehicle which your vehicle

overtakes rapidly.

— A vehicle that passes through

the detection zone quickly.

— When overtaking several vehi-

cles in a row, the vehicles after

the first vehicle may not be

detected if they are traveling

close together.

The radar sensor’s detection zone

is designed based on a standard

lane width. When driving in a

wider lane, the radar sensors

may not detect vehicles in an

adjacent lane. When driving in a

narrow lane, the radar sensors

may detect vehicles driving two

lanes away.

The radar sensors are designed

to ignore most stationary objects,

however objects such as guard-

rails, walls, foliage and parked

vehicles may occasionally be de-

tected. This is a normal operation

condition.

— Severe weather

— Road spray

— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the

vehicle

Do not attach stickers (including

transparent material), install ac-

cessories or apply additional

paint near the radar sensors.

These conditions may reduce the

ability of the radar to detect other

vehicles.

Excessive noise (for example,

audio system volume, open vehi-

cle window) will interfere with the

chime sound, and it may not be

heard.

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-

tions for the BSW system. Failure to

operate the vehicle in accordance

with these system limitations could

result in serious injury or death.

.

The BSW system cannot detect all

vehicles under all conditions.

.

The radar sensors may not be

able to detect and activate BSW

when certain objects are present

such as:

.

— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.

— Vehicles such as motorcycles,

low height vehicles, or high

ground clearance vehicles.

— Oncoming vehicles.

.

— Vehicles remaining in the de-

tection zone when you accel-

erate from a stop.

— A vehicle merging into an

adjacent lane at a speed ap-

proximately the same as your

vehicle.

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

PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEM OPERA-

TION

The ProPILOT assist system has the

following two functions:

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.

WARNING

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 sys-

tem decelerates 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 conditions allow vehicle

speeds to remain fairly constant or when

vehicle speeds change gradually. If a

vehicle moves into the traveling lane

To prevent the vehicle from moving

or rolling unexpectedly, which could

result in serious personal injury or

property damage, before exiting the

vehicle make sure to push the Pro-

PILOT assist switch to turn the sys-

(Park) position, and turn the engine

off.

Always observe posted speed

limits and do not set the speed

over them.

Starting and driving 5-77

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.

.

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.

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).

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.

.

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

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.

The vehicle may not maintain the set

speed on winding or hilly roads. If this

occurs, you will have to manually control

NOTE:

Approach warning

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 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).

to stop your vehicle if necessary.

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 system may not detect the

vehicle in front of you in certain

road or weather conditions. To

avoid accidents, never use the ICC

system under the following con-

ditions:

— On steep downhill roads (the

vehicle may go beyond the set

vehicle speed and frequent

braking may result in over-

heating the brakes)

— On repeated uphill and down-

hill roads

— When traffic conditions make

it difficult to keep a proper

distance between vehicles be-

cause of frequent accelera-

tion or deceleration

— Interference by other radar

sources.

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 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.

— On roads with heavy, high-

speed traffic or sharp curves

— On slippery road surfaces

such as on ice or snow, etc.

— During bad weather (rain, fog,

snow, etc.)

— When rain, snow or dirt adhere

to the bumper around the

distance sensor

The ICC system will not detect the

following objects:

.

Stationary or slow moving vehicles

Pedestrians or objects in the roadway

Oncoming vehicles in the same lane

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.

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

The AEB with pedestrian detec-

tion system is a supplemental aid

to the driver. It is not a replace-

ment for the driver’s attention to

traffic conditions or responsibility

to drive safely. It cannot prevent

accidents due to carelessness or

dangerous driving techniques.

WAF0286X

The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-

tem uses a radar sensor located on the

front of the vehicle to measure the

distance to the vehicle ahead in the same

lane.

For pedestrians, the AEB system uses a

camera installed behind the windshield

in addition to the radar sensor.

.

The AEB with pedestrian detec-

tion system does not function in

all driving, traffic, weather and

road conditions.

The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-

risk of a forward collision with the vehicle

ahead in the traveling lane or with a

pedestrian.

AEB WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

SYSTEM OPERATION

The AEB with pedestrian detection sys-

tem will function when your vehicle is

driven at speeds above approximately 3

MPH (5 km/h).

For the pedestrian detection function, the

AEB with pedestrian detection system

operates at speeds between 6 – 37 MPH

(10 – 60 km/h).

If a risk of a forward collision is detected,

the AEB with pedestrian detection system

will firstly provide the warning to the

driver by flashing the warning (yellow) in

the vehicle information display and pro-

viding an audible alert.

If the driver applies the brakes quickly and

forcefully after the warning, and the AEB

with pedestrian detection system detects

that there is still the possibility of a

forward collision, the system will auto-

matically increase the braking force.

If the driver does not take action, the AEB

with pedestrian detection system issues

the second visual (flashing) (red) and

audible warning. If the driver releases

the accelerator pedal, then the system

applies partial braking.

approximately

2 seconds before the

brakes are released.

NOTE:

The vehicle’s stop lights come on when

braking is performed by the AEB with

pedestrian detection system.

Depending on vehicle speed and distance

to the vehicle or pedestrian 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

with pedestrian detection 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 or

pedestrian detected ahead.
