To Adjust the Vehicle Speed

If a vehicle detected ahead is going at a speed slower 
than your increased set speed, ACC with Low Speed 
Follow may not accelerate your vehicle. This is to 
maintain the set interval between your vehicle and 
the vehicle ahead.

When you depress the accelerator pedal and then 
push and release the 

SET/−

 button, the current 

speed of the vehicle is set.

Automatic cancellation

The beeper sounds and a message appears on the gauge when ACC with Low 
Speed Follow is automatically cancelled. Any of these conditions may cause the ACC 
with Low Speed Follow to automatically cancel:

•

Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)

•

The vehicle ahead of you cannot be detected.

•

An abnormal tyre condition is detected, or the tyres are skidding.

•

Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.

•

Abrupt steering wheel movement.

•

When the ABS, VSA, Low Speed Braking Control, or CMBS is activated.

•

When the VSA system indicator comes on.

•

When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.

•

When you manually apply the parking brake.

•

Water is sprayed by or snow blown from a vehicle ahead.

•

Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).

•

When the detected vehicle within the ACC with Low Speed Follow range is too 
close to your vehicle.

•

When accelerating rapidly.

•

The front of the front wide view camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet 
snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the windscreen.

•

The vehicle is loaded heavy luggage in the luggage area or rear seats.

•

When passing through an enclosed space, such as tunnel.

•

When the parking brake and brake system indicator (amber) comes on.

•

The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to maintain the set speed (for 
example, you are descending a long slope).

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Continued

Driving

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Provides steering input to help to keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane 
and provides tactile, audible and visual alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of 
its lane.

■

Steering input assist

The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and 
right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets closer to 
either of the lane lines.

■

Tactile, audible and visual alerts

Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel, audible and a warning display alert you that 
the vehicle is drifting out of a detected lane.

1

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Important Safety Reminders

The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not an 
autonomous driving system and always requires 
driver attention and control. The system does not 
work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or 
fail to steer the vehicle.

The LKAS is convenient when it is used on motorways 
or a dual carriage way.

Do not place objects on the instrument panel. 
Objects may reflect on the windscreen and prevent 
correct detection of the traffic lanes.

The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect 
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will 
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker 
condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.

You can read about handling information for the 
front wide view camera equipped with this system.

When the System can be Used

If the vehicle drifts towards either left or right lane 
line due to the system applying torque, turn off the 
LKAS and have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Be sure to keep the following below to activate the 
system properly;

•

Always keep the windscreen around the front wide 
view camera clean.

•

When cleaning the windscreen, be careful not to 
apply windscreen cleanser to the camera lens.

•

Do not touch the front wide view camera lens.

•

Do not attach a sticker to the area around the front 
wide view camera.

If LKAS button is pressed when the system can be 
used, LKAS is on without standby.
