Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts
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. 236) 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 5 6 )

■Temporary cancelation of the LKA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LKA system functions will be temporarily canceled.
The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions have returned.
●The steering wheel is turned as far as necessary to cause the vehicle to change
lanes.
●When the system detects no-handed driving. (The lane keeping assist function will
be temporarily canceled, but the lane departure warning function will continue.)
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LKA system functions.
(The buzzer will beep twice when the lane keeping assist function is being can-
celed.)
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving. (The buzzer will beep
twice when the lane keeping assist function is being canceled.)
●The wiper switch is set on high speed mode or is set on AUTO mode with wipers
operating at high speed. (The lane keeping assist function will be temporarily can-
celed, but the lane departure warning function will continue.)
●If the vehicle crosses a line for approximately half a minute or more. (The lane keep-
ing assist function will be temporarily canceled, but the lane departure warning
function will continue.)
●When the lane departure warning function is activated.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several seconds
after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
It may be difficult to feel the sensory warning depending on the road conditions.
■No-handed driving warning
If the steering wheel is not operated for approximately 15 seconds on a straight road
or approximately 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 tem-
porarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly touching the steer-
ing wheel, this may also be detected as no-handed driving.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available and a warning message (→P. 7 3 5 )
will be displayed for a while after driving has started. In such cases, turn the LKA sys-
tem off and turn it on again after normal temperature returns. When the temperature
in the cabin decreases and the temperature around the camera sensor ( →P. 2 5 1 )
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
