Emergency Lane Keeping(ELK)
*
The ELK is a system designed to assist
the driver’s steering wheel operation to
avoid danger.
The ELK has the following 3 functions.
Road Keep Assist
The Road Keep Assist assists the driver
to avoid departure from the road.
If your vehicle may be deviating from
the road, the Road Keep Assist
provides steering assistance to avoid
departure from the road. In addition, a
screen display and a warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.
Blind Spot Assist*
The Blind Spot Assist assists the driver
in avoiding collisions with vehicles in
adjacent lanes (excluding vehicles
approaching in the opposite
direction).
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle in an adjacent lane
when you try to change lanes or if you
may deviate from your lane, the Blind
Spot Assist assists your steering wheel
operation to keep you in the driving
lane. In addition, a screen display and
a warning sound notify the driver of
the danger.
Head-on traffic avoidance assist*
The Head-on traffic avoidance assist
assists you in avoiding a collision with
a vehicle approaching in the oncoming
lane and your vehicle.
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle approaching in the
oncoming lane due to your vehicle
departing from its lane, the Head-on
traffic avoidance a
ssist assists your
steering wheel operation to keep you
in the original driving lane. In addition,
a screen display and a warning sound
notify the driver of the danger.

Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the ELK.
The ELK has limitations. Do not rely
completely on the system and always
stay on course using the steering
wheel.
 The ELK is not an automated driving
system. Over reliance on the system
could lead to an accident.
 The detection range of the camera
and sensors is limited. If the steering
wheel operation assist is operated
without detecting a two-wheeled
vehicle near the detecting vehicle, it
could result in an accident.
Do not use the ELK under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
 Tires other than the specified size are
used, such as when tire chains or
temporary spare tires are used.
 (Blind Spot Assist)
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than expressways and highways.
 (Blind Spot Assist and Head-on
traffic avoidance assist)
The rear bumper around a rear side
radar sensor is deformed.
