■Automatic ca ncellation
The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface when
ACC with LSF is automatically canceled. Any of these conditions may cause the ACC
with LSF to automatically cancel:
• Bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
• When the radar sensor in the lower bumper next to the fog light
* gets dirty.
• The vehicle ahead of yo u cannot be detected.
• An abnormal tire condition is de tected, or the tires are skidding.
• Driving on a mountainous road, or driving off road for extended periods.
• Abrupt steering wheel movement.
• When the ABS, VSA ® or CMBS
TM is activated.
• When the ABS or VSA ® system indicator comes on.
• When the vehicle is stopped on a very steep slope.
• When you manually apply the parking brake.
• When the detected vehicle within the AC C with LSF range is too close to your
vehicle.
• The camera behind the rearview mirror, or the area around the camera, including
the windshield, gets dirty.
The ACC with LSF automatic cancellation ca n be also triggered by the following
causes. In these cases, the parking brake will be automatically applied.
• The driver’s seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is stationary.
• The vehicle stops for more than 10 minutes.
• The engine is turned off.
1Automatic cancellation
Even though ACC with LSF has been automatically
canceled, you can still resu me the prior set speed.
Wait until the condition that caused ACC with LSF to
cancel improves, then press the –/SET button.

uuWhen Driving uAdaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Driving
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed an d a set following interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours, without you havi ng to keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
When ACC slows your vehicle by applying the brakes, your vehicle’s brake lights will
illuminate.1 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*
Important Reminder
As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Use the
brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a
safe distance between your vehicle and other
vehicles.
3WARNING
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
3WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22
mph (35 km/h), ACC will automatically
cancel and no longer will apply your
vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake
pedal when conditions require.
When to use
■Vehicle speed for adaptive cruise c ontrol: Desired speed in a range above
roughly 25 mph (40 km/h) ~ The radar sensor is in
the lower bumper
next to the fog light.
Be careful not to have
the radar sensor cover
strongly impacted.
The camera is
located behind
the rearview
mirror.

Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor cover or
replace the radar sensor cover.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).
If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work
properly. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer:
•The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock,
embankment, etc.
•You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.
•Your vehicle has a frontal collision.

uuWhen Driving uRoad Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane 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 steering torque and alerts you
with rapid vibrations on the steering wheel, to
help you remain within the detected lane.
2 Customized Features P. 123, 324
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the driver information
interface.
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 when you turn th e 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 lane markings or lane
departures; accuracy will vary based on weather,
speed and lane marker condi tion. It is always your
responsibility to sa fely operate the vehicle and avoid
collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 478
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 displays repeated ly and you do not apply
responsive actions, the sy stem beeps and cancels
RDM functions.

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 vehicl e control. The system does
not work if you take y our hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
2 Driver Information Interface Warning and
Information Messages
* P. 99
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 when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in us e. 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 and 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. 485
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera
* P. 446
When you operate the turn signals to chan ge 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.
