Warning message

Keep hands on steering wheel

If the driver takes their hands off from the steering wheel for certain time while the LFA system is activated, the system will warn the driver.

NOTICE

If the steering wheel is held very lightly the message may still appear because the LFA system may not recognize that the driver has their hands on the wheel.

WARNING

The warning message may appear late according to road conditions. Therefore, always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

Driver’s grasp not detected. LFA system is disabled temporarily

If the driver still does not have their hands on the steering wheel after the message “Keep hands on steering wheel”, the system will not control the steering wheel and warn the driver only when the driver crosses the lane markers.

However, if the driver has their hands on the steering wheel again, the system will start controlling the steering wheel.
