Highway Driving Assist helps keep
the vehicle between lanes, maintain a
distance with the vehicle ahead, and
automatically adjusts the vehicle speed
to the speed limit while driving on the
highway.
WARNING
• Highway Driving Assist is not a
substitute for safe driving practices,
but a convenience function. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
be aware of the surroundings and
drive safely.
• Highway Driving Assist relies entirely
on the road information provided
by the navigation system. It is the
responsibility of the driver to follow
traffic laws and avoid accidents.
• For your safety, please read the
owner's manual before using the
system.
Information
• Highway Driving Assist is available
only on controlled access road of
certain highways.
Controlled access road indicates roads with limited entrances and
exits that allow uninterrupted high
speed traffic flow. Only passenger
cars and motorcycles are allowed on
controlled access roads.
