u Turning the wipers off resumes the
LKAS.

• Press the MAIN button.
• Press the LKAS button.
• When the ACC with LSF is deactivated.
■When Traffic Jam Assist may au tomatically be suspended when:

■Canceling Traffic Jam Assist1How Traffic Jam Assist Works
If you are traveling slower than the vehicle detected
ahead or a vehicle that is de tected cutting in front of
you and the interval betw een your vehicle and the
detected vehicle gradually increases, your vehicle will
continue to follow that vehicle without emitting any
warning, even if the interv al between the vehicle is
minimal.
1 When Traffic Jam Assist may automatically be suspended when:
You are traveling over 45mph (72km/h).
u When the speed of the vehicle reaches 45mph
(72km/h), Traffic Jam Assist is deactivated and LKAS
is activated instead. Once the speed of the vehicle
drops to under 42mph (68km/ h), Traffic Jam Assist
is reactivated.
