Traffic Jam Assist
The traffic jam assist system uses a radar sensor mounted inside the front grille and
a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left
and right white (yellow) traffic lane lines as well as any vehicle ahead. Based on
inputs from the radar sensor and camera , the system adjusts the speed of your
vehicle to maintain a set interval between your vehicle and the one detected ahead.
It also applies steering torque to keep your vehicle in the center of the detected lane
when you are driving in heavy traffic.
■How Traffic Jam Assist works
If you are in heavy traffic and Adaptive Cruise Contro l with Low Speed Follow is
active, the traffic jam assist system, upon detecting the traf fic lane lines and a vehicle
ahead, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of the lane.
The system adjusts the speed of your vehicl e to maintain a set interval between your
vehicle and the one detected ahead.

area, Traffic Jam Assist adju sts the speed of your vehicle to maintain the selected
interval between your vehicle and the one ahead. It also applies steering torque to

■When no vehicle is traveling ahead
If the vehicle detected ahead disappears from
the travel path of your vehicle (for example, it
changes lanes), Traffic Jam Assist will be
deactivated temporarily and your vehicle will
gradually accelerate until it reaches the set
speed, after which it will maintain that speed.1How Traffic Jam Assist Works

or if another vehicle is de tected cutting in front of
yours, a warning buzzer will sound, and a warning in

Driving
To cancel Traffic Jam Assist, you can do any of the following:
• Press the button.
• Press the LKAS button.
• When the ACC with Low Speed Follow is deactivated.
■When Traffic Jam Assist may au tomatically be suspended when:
The system is temporarily canceled automa tically under the following circumstances.
• The system fails to detect lane lines.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• The steering wheel is turned quickly.
• You fail to steer the vehicle.
• The vehicle in front of you is driving near the lane lines.
• The wipers are set to high.
• The interval between your vehicle and th e one traveling ahead is over 197 feet
(60m).
Once these conditions no longer exist, th e Traffic Jam Assist automatically resumes.
■Canceling Traffic Jam Assist1How Traffic Jam Assist Works
If you are traveling slower than the vehicle detected
ahead or a vehicle that is de tected cutting in front of
you and the interval betw een your vehicle and the
detected vehicle gradually increases, your vehicle will
continue to follow that vehicle without emitting any
warning, even if the interv al between the vehicle is
minimal.
1 When Traffic Jam Assist may automatically be suspended when:
You are traveling over 45mph (72km/h).
u When the speed of the vehicle reaches 45mph
(72km/h), Traffic Jam Assist is deactivated and LKAS
is activated instead. Once the speed of the vehicle
drops to under 42mph (68km/ h), Traffic Jam Assist
is reactivated.

•The transmission is in (R.
• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or
lower.
When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly
behind your vehicle.
The system does not provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from your
vehicle, and it may alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.
■How the System Works1 Cross Traffic Monitor
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay
alerting an approaching vehi cle, or may alert without
an approaching vehicle under the following
conditions:
•An obstacle, such as a nother vehicle and a wall,
near your vehicle’s rear bumper, is blocking the
radar sensor’s scope.
•Your vehicle is moving at a speed of about 3 mph
(5 km/h) or higher.
•A vehicle is approaching at a speed other than
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (25
km/h).
•The system picks up external interference such as
other radar sensors from an other vehicle or strong
radio wave transmitted fr om a facility nearby.
•Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with
snow, ice, mud or dirt.
•When there is bad weather.
•Your vehicle is on an incline.
•Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.•Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a
vehicle, and so on.
The rear bumper or the sens ors have been improperly
repaired or the rear bum per has been deformed.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper
corner area clean.
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels
or stickers of any kind.
