  1. Lane Following Assist deactivated

If you do not return your hands to the steering wheel after the hands-off warning message appears, Lane Following Assist is automatically canceled.

If the driver does not respond to the second stage warning message while Smart Cruise Control is active, the Emergency Stop function will be initiated. For more information, refer to Emergency Stop (ES).

The hands-off warning will be canceled when the driver holds the steering wheel.

WARNING

  • When Lane Keeping Assist reaches its system limit, the indicator light will flash in white and a warning chime will sound.

    • System limit: When the driver’s hands are off the steering wheel and a lane departure occurs while Lane Keeping Assist is operating.

  • Lane Keeping Assist may not operate or may operate abnormally when driving through sharp curves.

  • 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.
