Lane Following Assist activation

If the vehicle is inside the lane with both lanes recognized by the function, and there is no steep steering made by the driver, Lane Following Assist changes into steering assist mode. The indicator light will come on green, and the function helps the vehicle stay in line by controlling the steering wheel.

When the steering wheel is not controlled temporarily, the indicator light will flash green and changes to white.

When both lanes are not recognized by the function, the function controls the steering wheel limitedly whether there is a vehicle in front or not.

WARNING

Lane Following Assist ensures the vehicle stays in its lane. Lane Following Assist does not guarantee 100% safety. Make sure you make decisions on the road after checking the road conditions and safety matters whilst driving. Never completely rely on your Lane Following Assist.

Warning

If you keep your hands off the wheel whilst driving with Lane Following Assist assisting the steering, the hands-off warning will be triggered.

If the driver keeps hands off the wheel even with the hands-off warning on, the steering assist is temporarily released automatically.

If you put your hands back on the wheel with Lane Following Assist released, the steering assist will re-start.

CAUTION

  • Hands-off warnings may be delayed depending on road conditions. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel whilst driving.

  • Hold the steering wheel tight. Otherwise, Lane Following Assist could misjudge that the driver hands off the wheel, and a hands-off warning may occur.
