Lane Keeping System

  • Warns the driver that the vehicle is departing from the intended lane ahead, greenthe indicator on the cluster will flash, and the steering wheel will adjust to keep the vehicle within the lane.
  • The Lane Keeping Assist system operates when your vehicle speed is between approximately 40-120 mph (60-200 km/h).

If the driver removes their hands from the steering wheel for several seconds, the "Keep Hands on Steering Wheel" warning message appears on the cluster, and an audible warning sounds in stages.

WARNING

  • The Lane Keeping steering force can be overridden if the steering wheel is held firmly, or if the driver steers the vehicle beyond a certain angle.
  • The Lane Keeping Assist system does not operate at all times. It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely and keep the vehicle within the lane.
  • The hands-off warning message may appear late depending on road conditions. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel while driving.
  • If the steering wheel is held very lightly, a hands-off warning message may appear because Lane Keeping Assist may not detect that the driver's hands are on the steering wheel.
  • If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands-off warning may not function properly.

Information

  • You can change the settings from the instrument cluster (User Settings) or the infotainment system (Vehicle Settings), whichever option is provided with your vehicle. For more details, refer to the "User Settings" section in Chapter 4 or the "Vehicle Settings" section in the Infotainment System Manual.
  • When lane markings (or road edges) are detected, the lane lines on the cluster will change from gray to white and green. The indicator light illuminates.
  • Even though steering is assisted by Lane Keeping Assist, the driver can control the steering wheel.
  • The steering wheel may feel heavier or lighter when the steering wheel is assisted by the Lane Keeping Assist system than when it is not.
