Hands-off warning
OCV054019L

  1. Keep hands on steering wheel

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds, the warning message will appear on the cluster, and an audible warning will sound in stages.

WARNING

  • Steering assistance may not activate if you hold the steering wheel very tight or steer over a certain degree.

  • Lane Keeping Assist does not operate at all times. It is your responsibility to safely steer the vehicle and maintain the vehicle in its lane.

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

  • If gloves are worn or the steering wheel is held very lightly, the hands-off warning message may appear because Lane Keeping Assist may not recognize that the driver has their hands on the steering wheel.

  • If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands-off warning may not work properly.

NOTE

  • Even when the steering is assisted by Lane Keeping Assist, you may still control the steering wheel.

  • The steering wheel may feel heavier or lighter than usual when the steering wheel is being assisted by Lane Keeping Assist.

  • If the vehicle detects the lane markings, the gray-colored lane lines turn white on the cluster.

  • If you select Highway Lane Change Assist, the green lane appears on the instrument cluster (if equipped).

  • The images or colors may display differently depending on the specifications of the instrument cluster or theme.
