Emergency Steering

To warn the driver that emergency steering will be assisted, the emergency steering warning light blinking ( ), warning message will appear on the cluster, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate.

Warning message: Emergency steering

The warning light on the outside rear view mirror (side view mirror) will appear when the vehicle on both lanes is detected from the rear. Steering will be assisted to avoid collision.

Emergency steering will be activated in following conditions.

  • Your driving speed: Approximately 40~145 km/h (25~90 mph)

CAUTION

  • Lane-Change Side function does not operate if the oncoming vehicle from the front side is stopped.

  • These functions do not work when a flanking car or two-wheeled vehicle is stationary.

  • The detection range of the front-side and rear-side radars is based on the standard road width of ordinary roads. On narrow roads, warnings may be triggered by a vehicle or powered two-wheeler driving in the next lane. Conversely, on wide roads, radars may fail to recognize a vehicle or powered two-wheeler driving in the next lane and not issue warnings.

  • The lateral approaching vehicle response function is deactivated in the following situations:

    • If you drive more than a certain distance into the next lane

    • If you move away from the direction where there is a risk of collision

    • If the steering wheel is rotated rapidly

    • If you step on the brake pedal

    • If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is activated

  • After the lateral approaching vehicle response function has been triggered or after changing lanes, be sure to move into the center of the lane. If you continue to drive along the edge of the lane without moving to the lane's center, the lateral approaching vehicle response function will be deactivated.

NOTE

  • If an additional accident is expected due to emergency steering, only a collision warning will be issued to notify of the danger.

  • If the driver's seat is on the left, a collision warning may be issued when turning left; if the driver's seat is on the right, a collision warning may be issued when turning right.
