Lane-keep Assist System
(LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides stee
ring assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle
lane if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
detects the white lines (yellow lines) of
the vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
traveling and if the system determines
that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, it operates the electric power
steering to assist the driver’s steering
operation. The system also alerts the
driver by displaying an alert on the
multi-information display. Use the
system when you drive the vehicle on
roads with white (yellow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
