When driving
HS250h_U_75050U
Indication on the multi-information displayWhile the LKA system is on, the lane line display and steering wheel dis-
play (in case of lane keeping assist function) are shown on the multi-infor-
mation display to inform that the LKA system is on. Steering wheel display
The lane keeping assist function is
active.
Dynamic radar cruise control
display
Lane line display
When thin lines are shown:
A lane marker is not recognized by
the system, or the LKA system
functions are temporarily can-
celed.
When solid lane lines are shown:
The lane departure warning func-
tion is active.
■Temporary cancellation of the LKA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LKA system functions will be temporarily can-
celed. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions have
returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to cause the vehicle to change
lanes.
●The brake pedal is depressed.
However, the lane keeping assist function will not resume even after the brake
pedal is released because depressing the brake pedal also cancels the dynamic
radar cruise control. (only lane departure warning function will resume)
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LKA system func-
tions.

●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●The wiper operates continuously.
●When the lane departure warning function is activated.
The lane departure warning function will be temporarily canceled and will not
resume until a few seconds elapse after it is activated.
■No-handed driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for about 15 seconds on a straight road or
about 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep twice, indicators on the multi-
information display will flash, and the lane keeping assist function will be temporarily
canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly touching the steering
wheel, this may also be detected as no-handed driving.
■When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available for a while after driving has started.
In such cases, turn the LKA system off and turn it on again after normal temperature
returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and the temperature around
the camera sensor becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to
operate.
■Warning lights and messages for LKA
Warning lights and messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. (→P. 5 0 3 , 5 1 6 )

Disabling pre-collision brakingPre-collision braking disabled
Pre-collision braking enabled
The “PCS” warning light will
turn on when pre-collision brak-
ing is disabled.
Radar sensorThe radar sensor detects vehicles
or other obstacles on or near the
road ahead and determines
whether a collision is imminent
based on the position, speed, and
heading of the obstacles.
For vehicles equipped with the lane
keeping assist, in addition to the
radar sensor, the vehicle uses a
lane recognition camera in order
to determine whether or not a colli-
sion is likely to occur. (→P. 2 3 7 )
