Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow

Driving

Press the Interval button to change the ACC
with Low Speed Follow following-interval.
Each time you press the button, the following-
interval (the interval behind a vehicle detected
ahead of you) setting cycles through furthest,
far, mid, and nearest following-intervals.

Determine the most appropriate following-
interval setting based on your specific driving
conditions. Be sure to adhere to any
following-interval requirements set by local
regulation.

The higher your vehicle’s following-speed is, the longer the nearest, mid, far or
furthest following-interval becomes. See the following examples for your reference.

When your vehicle stops automatically because a vehicle detected ahead of you has
stopped, the interval between the two vehicles will vary based on the ACC with Low
Speed Follow interval setting.

example, you are descending a long slope).

•

When the system doesn't detect any driving actions from the driver for a certain
amount of time while the LKAS is also activated.

The ACC with Low Speed Follow automatic cancellation can be also triggered by the
following causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.

•

The driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is stationary.

•

The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.

switch, the set speed is fixed, and cruise

control begins. The color of

indicator changes from white to green.

When you use cruise control, Straight Driving Assist (a feature of the Electric Power
Steering system) is activated.
By enabling the steering system to automatically compensate for natural steering
pull, Straight Driving Assist makes it easier for you to keep your vehicle in a straight
line.

To Switch ACC with Low Speed Follow to Cruise Control

To Switch ACC with Low Speed Follow to Cruise Control

Always be aware which mode you are in. When you
are driving in Cruise mode, the system will not assist
you to maintain a following-interval from a vehicle
ahead of you.

You cannot switch ACC with Low Speed Follow to
Cruise Control in the following situations:

•

When the vehicle speed is set.

•

When ACC with Low Speed Follow is not activated.

You can switch the displayed set speed
measurements on the driver information interface or

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Continued

Driving

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile 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 and visual alerts

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

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
expressways or freeways.

Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on the windshield 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.

The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:

When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.

nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.

■

Lane Keep Support Function

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When a lane is detected, the
system will recover automatically.

The LKAS may not function as designed while driving
in frequent stop and go traffic, or on roads with
sharp curves.

The system can be used when the following conditions are met.

•

The lane in which you are driving has detectable lane markers on both sides, and
your vehicle is in the center of the lane.

•

The vehicle is traveling between about 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).

•

You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.

•

The turn signals are off.

•

■

How to activate the system

Press the LKAS button.

LKAS indicator (white) appears on the
gauge.
The system is standby.

If traffic lane lines are detected, white
lines appear on the gauge.

■

When the System can be Used

When the System can be Used

If the vehicle drifts toward 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 windshield around the camera
clean.

•

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

•

Do not touch the camera lens.

•

Do not attach a sticker to the area around the
camera.

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