System Alerts and Automatic
Cancellation
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
Note: Adaptive cruise control must be on
before you can switch lane centering on.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. If you do not react to
the warnings the system cancels and slows
your vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control.
The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
•
You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
The vehicle is centered in the lane.
•
•
Your hands are on the steering wheel
at all times.
Note: The system may detect a light grip
or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
•
The system detects both lane
markings.
Note: If it does not detect valid lane
markings, the system stays inactive until
valid markings are available.
When the system cancels due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
on the steering wheel, a tone sounds and
a message appears in the information
display.
When the system cancels due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
not on the steering wheel, the system
immediately alerts you to take control of
the vehicle. If you ignore this alert, the
system slows the vehicle while maintaining
steering control.
You can override the system at any time
by steering your vehicle.
When the system is active and the
direction indicator is switched on, the
system immediately cancels. The system
remains in standby mode as long as the
direction indicator is engaged. The system
automatically re-activates once the vehicle
is centered in a lane and the direction
indicator is switched off.
If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred
lane position. The system provides
