Lane Following Assist operation
Warning and control
Lane Following Assist
If the vehicle ahead and/or both lane markings are detected and your vehicle speed is below 180 km/h (112 mph), the function
will help center the vehicle in the lane by assisting the steering wheel. The green (
) indicator light will appear on the cluster.
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 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 warning message will appear and Lane Following Assist will be automatically canceled.
