Warning message

Keep hands on steering wheel

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds while Lane Following Assist is activated, the function will warn the driver.

NOTICE

If the steering wheel is held very lightly the message may still appear because Lane Following Assist 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.

If the driver still does not have their hands on the steering wheel after the message "Keep hands on steering wheel", the function 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 function will start controlling the steering wheel.

WARNING

  • Turn off the function and drive the vehicle in following situations.

NOTICE

  • Even though the steering is assisted by the function, the driver may control the steering wheel.

  • The steering wheel may feel heavier or lighter when the function wheel is assisted by the function than when it is not.
