LANE CENTERING

(IF EQUIPPED)

HOW DOES LANE CENTERING
WORK

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses the vehicle's front radar sensor and
front windshield camera sensor, together
with the steering sensor to operate.

Using these sensors, the system applies
continuous steering assistance towards
driving in the middle of the lane you choose
on highway roads.

Note:

The gap setting for adaptive cruise

control with lane centering, operates in the
same way as normal adaptive cruise control.

LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not use the system

if any changes or modifications to the
steering wheel have been made. Any
changes or modifications to the steering
wheel could affect the functionality or

appropriately to the warnings the adaptive
cruise control with lane centering system
cancels and slows your vehicle down to
idle speeds while maintaining steering
control. See

Lane Centering Automatic

Cancellation

(page 220).

The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane line markings without
detected steering activity.

Note:

The system could detect a light grip

or light touch on the steering wheel as
hands-off driving.

LANE CENTERING AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION

PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST

HOW DOES PREDICTIVE SPEED

ASSIST WORK

Predictive Speed Assist works with
adaptive cruise control and adjusts the
vehicle speed to the road geometry and to
the speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. As the system
identifies curves and highway exits, the
vehicle speed temporarily decreases ahead
of and during the changing road geometry.
When passing new speed signs, the set
speed updates. See

Predictive Speed

Assist Precautions

(page 221).

There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. Predictive speed assist
and its ability to determine the current
speed limit shares these limitations. See

Speed Sign Recognition

(page 257).

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.

PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK

The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
lane of travel.

When the camera detects a drift out of the
lane of travel, the lane keeping system
alerts the driver by vibrating the steering
wheel, or aids the driver by providing a
small steering input to move the vehicle
back into the lane of travel.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert

•

Aid

•

Alert + Aid
