LANE FOLLOWING ASSIST (LFA)
OYG059052
WARNING
It is the driver's responsibility
to operate the steering wheel
for safe driving.
Do not turn the steering wheel
hastily if LFA is operating.
LFA assists the steering
wheel control so that the vehi-
cle can stay in the center of
the lane. LFA does not auto-
matically control the steering
wheel at all times, which
means the driver must keep
hands on the wheel at all
times while driving.
When using LFA, always be
aware of surroundings and
road conditions that may
interrupt or stop LFA.

on the wheel, then the steer-
ing-assist system will be re-
activated.
When driving at a high speed,
the steering assist force can
become weak and the vehicle
can drive out of its lane. Extra
caution is required, and com-
ply with the speed limit.

extra caution is required
while driving with LFA on.
Be sure to check the non-
operating conditions and cau-
tions for the driver before
using LFA.
Do not place reflective materi-
als such as white paper or
mirror on the crash pad.
Sunlight reflections can cause
a malfunction in LFA.
