PROPILOT ASSIST SYSTEMS OVERVIEW
Each ProPILOT Assist feature is designed to help the driver in different ways as they drive.
Here is a summary of these features. See the specified page for detailed information.
Feature Name Feature Description
Conventional (fixed speed) Allows the driver to drive the vehicle at a fixed speed without keeping their foot on the accelerator pedal.
Cruise Control
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) . Helps the driver maintain a selected distance from the vehicle ahead and can reduce the speed to match a
slower vehicle ahead.
. Decelerates the vehicle to a standstill when a vehicle ahead slows to a stop.
Extended Stop Enables the vehicle to start moving again automatically if vehicle is stopped for less than approximately 30
seconds on the highway
Speed Limit Assist A feature of the Intelligent Cruise Control that detects a change of the speed limit, indicates the detected speed
limit sign and can apply to the vehicle set speed automatically or manually.
Speed Adjust by Route A feature of Intelligent Cruise Control that adjusts the vehicle speed depending on curves, junctions and exits,
using road information provided by the navigation system.
Steering Assist . Assists the driver to help keep the vehicle within the center of the traveling lane.
. Traffic and other conditions and laws permit, and it is safe to do so, driver’s hands can be taken off the
steering wheel. Always pay attention to the road and the operation of the vehicle.
Lane Change Assist Help the driver make a lane change when the turn signal is activated.
Passing Assist Help the driver make a lane change when a slower vehicle is detected ahead (A feature of ProPILOT Assist 2.0).
Route Assist Help the driver make a lane change when approaching the point where a lane change is necessary, according to
the route set in the navigation system.

ProPILOT Assist has a variety of modes depending on various conditions and are represented by color. The system will automatically
transition to the highest available mode when conditions are met. The table below shows the available system modes and the
required conditions.

RAB SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)

approximately 9 MPH (15 km/h), the RAB
system operates.
If a risk of a collision with an obstacle is
detected when your vehicle is backing up,
the RAB system warning indicator will
flash in the vehicle information display, a
red frame will appear in the center display
(models with the Intelligent Around View®
Monitor system), and the system will
chime three times. The system will then
automatically apply the brakes. After the
automatic brake application, the driver
must depress the brake pedal to maintain
brake pressure.
NOTE:

CLEANING
If your windshield is not clear after using

Clean the outside of the windshield with a
washer solution or a mild detergent. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not form

Clean each blade by wiping it with a cloth
soaked in a washer solution or a mild
detergent. Then rinse the blade with clear
water. If your windshield is still not clear WAI0163X

BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING


The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first
occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake
pad, the sound will always be heard even
if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have
