Function operation
Warning and control
Lane Following Assist
If the vehicle ahead and/or both lane markings are detected and your vehicle speed is below 200 km/h (120 mph), the green
(
) indicator light will illuminate on the cluster, and the function will help the vehicle stay in lane by assisting the steering
wheel.
When the steering wheel is not assisted, the green () indicator light will blink and change to white.
Hands-off warning
If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds, the 'Keep hands on the steering wheel' warning message will appear and an audible warning will sound in stages.
First stage: Warning message
Second stage: Warning message (red steering wheel) and audible warning
If the driver still does not have their hands on the steering wheel after the hands-off warning, the 'Lane Following Assist (LFA) canceled' warning message will appear and Lane Following Assist will be automatically canceled.

The hands–off warning message may appear late depending on road conditions. Always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.
