Warning Message

Keep Hands on Steering Wheel

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for several seconds while HDA is active, the system will warn the driver.

✽ NOTICE

If the steering wheel is held with a light grip, the message may appear because HDA may not detect that the driver has hands on the steering wheel.

WARNING

The warning message may be delayed depending on road conditions. Therefore, always keep hands on the steering wheel while driving.

High Driving Assist (HDA) System Cancelled

If the driver still does not have their hands on the steering wheel after the "Keep Hands on Steering Wheel" message, HDA will be cancelled. However, if the Lane Following Assist system is manually re-activated by the driver, the High Driving Assist system will be re-activated.

To activate the Lane Following Assist system, refer to the "Lane Following Assist (LFA)" section in this chapter.

HDA will not be in the ENABLED state and/or steering assistance will not be provided when:

• The turn signal is activated before changing lanes. If you change lanes without activating the turn signal, the steering wheel may be controlled.
• The vehicle is not centered in the lane when the system is turned on or immediately after changing lanes.
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle Stability Management) is activated.
• The vehicle is driving through a sharp curve.
• Vehicle speed exceeds 95 mph (153 km/h).
• The vehicle makes a sudden lane change.
• The vehicle brakes suddenly.
• Only one lane marking is detected.
• The lane is very wide or narrow.
• There are more than two lane markers on the road (for example, a construction area).
• The radius of the curve is too small.
• The vehicle is driving on a steep incline.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply.

• If there is a problem with the High Driving Assist system, it cannot be activated on the Infotainment System screen.
• If your vehicle is within 1640 ft (500 m) ahead of and behind open railroad crossings, the system is automatically cancelled. In addition, it is automatically converted to Smart Cruise Control with a pop-up message on the navigation screen.
