the driver using beeping, screen displays and a sensory warning
* given
via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the direction of
the center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function• This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode of the cruise control ( →P. 218) is set with vehicle speed
above approximately 45 mph (72 km/h) and while the lane depar-
ture warning function is active.
• When the lane keeping assist function is active, a slight steering
torque will be applied, to help the driver maintain the vehicle inside
the lane.
The lane keeping assist function will be temporarily canceled if the steering
wheel is not operated, or if you continue driving with your hands lightly touch-
ing the steering wheel. ( →P. 2 3 8 )
