Steering Wheel Grip Sensor: (if equipped)

While driving the vehicle with the Driver Assistance system on, it detects whether the driver is holding the steering wheel and displays the Hands-off warning when the driver is not holding the steering wheel.

For more details, refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA), Highway Driving Assist (HDA).

NOTE

The steering wheel sensor may not work properly if the following precautions are not followed.

  • Do not modify the steering wheel cover.

  • Do not attach accessories on the rim of the steering wheel.

  • Do not let the steering wheel come in contact with electronic devices (for example, laptops, tablets, etc.).

  • Do not let the steering wheel come in contact with metallic or conductive objects (for example, tumblers, beverage cans, etc.).

  • Avoid excessive contact with moisture (for example, wet tissues, spilled water, vapor from steam wash, etc.).

When the driver is wearing gloves or accessories such as a cover, steering wheel knobs, any other attachments are attached to the steering wheel, the sensor may fail to detect the driver’s hands even when the driver is holding the steering wheel.
