Lane Keep Assist
The stereo cameras detect lane markings
(including Botts’ dots) of the lane and the
system assists the steering operation by
working with the electric power steering to
help keep your vehicle in its lane when driving
on expressways, freeways and interstate
highways.
WARNING
Lane Keep Assist is not an automatic driving system.
Do not overestimate the capabilities of Lane Keep Assist. It is not a sys-
tem to assist inattentive driving or meant to permit driving without hold-
ing the steering wheel. Make sure to grip the steering wheel while
driving. To drive safely, check the distance from the vehicle in front or
from a vehicle driving in parallel with your vehicle, the surrounding con-
ditions and the surrounding environment while driving.
If you feel that the level of control and timing by the system are different from
your own driving style, the system may not support safe driving. Do not use
Lane Keep Assist.
Lane Keep Assist does not always operate under all situations. If you rely only
on the Lane Keep Assist to stay in a lane, it may cause an accident such as a
collision with an obstacle beside your lane or with a vehicle driving in an
adjacent lane.x Check that there are problems with the tires and brakes during a daily
inspection before using the system.
* Refer to “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”.
