NOTICE
• For more details on setting the
functions, refer to "LCD Display
Mode" in chapter 4.
• When both lane markings are detected, the lane lines on the clus-
ter will change from gray to white.
If lane markings are not detected,
steering wheel control by Lane
Following Assist can be limited
depending on whether a vehicle is
in front or the driving conditions of
the vehicle.
WARNING
The steering wheel may notbe assisted if the steering
wheel is held very tight or the
steering wheel is steered over
a certain level.
Lane Following Assist does not operate at all times. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain the vehicle in its lane.
The hands-off warning mes- sage may appear late depend-
ing on road conditions. Always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If the steering wheel is held very lightly the hands-off warning
message may appear because
the function may not recognize
that the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands-off
warning may not work properly.
