Driving
1Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow (LSF)
When the MAIN button is pressed, ACC with LSF and
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) are both turned on
or off.
ACC with LSF may not work properly under certain
conditions. 2 ACC with LSF Conditions and Limitations
P. 390
When not using ACC with LSF: Turn off adaptive
cruise by pressing the MAIN button. This also will
turn off the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
Do not use ACC with LSF under the following
conditions:
•On roads with heavy traf fic or while driving in
continuous stop and go traffic.
•On roads with sharp turns.
•On roads with steep downhill sections, as the set
vehicle speed can be exceed ed by coasting. In such
cases, ACC with LSF will not apply the brakes to
maintain the set speed.
•On roads with toll collection facilities or other
objects between lanes of traffic, or in parking
areas, or faci lities with driv e through access.
How to use
■Press the MAIN button on
the steering wheel. ACC
(green) is on in the
instrument panel.
ACC with LSF is ready to
use.

uuWhen Driving uRoad Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the system determines a possibility of your
vehicle unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right la ne markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the system, in addition to a
visual alert, applies st eering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane.
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display.
If the system determines that its steering input
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the
roadway, it may apply braking. u Braking is applied only when the lane
markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Over-reliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
system may not detect all la ne markings or lane or
roadway departures; accu racy will vary based on
weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 383
The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 400
There are times when you may not notice RDM
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or
road surface conditions. If the Lane Departure
message appears repeated ly and you do not apply
responsive actions, the beeper sounds and RDM
functions will be canceled.

uuWhen Driving uLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the ve hicle is detected drifting out of its lane.1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take y our hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
2 Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages P. 104
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e front windshield and
prevent correct detectio n of the traffic lanes.
The LKAS only alerts you wh en lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker
condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle an d avoid collisions.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 407
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 383
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
() If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS
alerts activate, and torque is applied to the steering.
■LKAS camera
Monitors the lane
lines
■Tactile and visual alerts
Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel and a warning display alert you that the
vehicle is drifting out of a detected lane.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the
steering to keep the vehicle between
the left and right lane lines. The applied
torque becomes stronger as the vehicle
gets closer to either of the lane lines.

uuWhen Driving uLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Driving
Provides assistance to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. When the vehicle
nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.
When the vehicle enters the warning area, the LKAS alerts you with slight steering
wheel vibration as well as a warning display.
■Lane Keep Support Function1 Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
The LKAS may not functi on as designed on while
driving in frequent stop and go traffic, or on roads
with sharp curves.
When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When lane is detected,
system will recover automatically.
