  1. Lane Following Assist deactivated

If the driver continues not to hold the steering wheel, a Lane Following Assist deactivation warning will be displayed along with an audible alert, and Lane Following Assist will automatically turn off.

If Smart Cruise Control is active and the driver does not respond to the Hands-Off second stage warning message, the Emergency Stop function will be activated. For more details, refer to Emergency Stop (ES).

The Hands-Off warning will stop when the driver grips the steering wheel.

WARNING

  • Lane Following Assist may not assist with steering if you hold the steering wheel very tight or steer it over a certain degree.

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

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

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

  • If you wear gloves or hold the steering wheel lightly, Lane Following Assist may not detect your hands on the steering wheel and may display the hands-off warning.

  • When Lane Following Assist reaches the system limit, the indicator will blink white and an audible warning will sound.

    • System limit: When the driver releases the steering wheel or the vehicle departs from the lane while Lane Following Assist is active.

  • Lane Following Assist may not operate or may operate abnormally when navigating sharp curved roads.
