System Limited Operation
The HAS system may have limited or reduced
functionality when one of the following condi-
tions occur:
Lane markings are not clear or in conditions
of poor visibility (e.g. in heavy rain, snow,
fog, etc.)
Either the camera or radar are damaged,
covered, or obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice,
snow, etc.)
When driving on hills or roads with narrow
bends
Near highway toll booths
When the highway entrance or exit is wider
than 20 ft (6 m)
If the camera is exposed to glare caused by
reflections or direct sunlight
If the navigation system information is
unavailable or being recalculated
NOTE:
If the vehicle approaches a bend that is too
narrow with respect to the current speed,
the HAS system will disable.
If damage to the windshield occurs, have
the windshield replaced by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
TRAFFIC JAM ASSIST (TJA)
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system can be acti -
vated on all road types. The system uses a
camera to detect lane markings and keep the
vehicle in the center of the lane.
When the system is unable to detect lane
markings, it will still operate using surrounding
traffic. This can occur in congested traffic
scenarios, when the vehicles ahead or
surrounding obstruct the visibility of the lane
markings. When the speed is below 12 mph
(20 km/h), the system can use a lock-on
strategy that allows the vehicle to automati -
cally follow the vehicle ahead. The TJA system combines Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) functions with Lane Departure
Warning functions to maintain vehicle speed
and steering wheel behavior.
NOTE:
Do not use the TJA system while driving in
urban areas.
To Activate/Deactivate
To activate the system, push the button on the
left side of the steering wheel.
To deactivate the system, push the button
again.

WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the vehicle in the event that the
HAS system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel when the HAS system is activated.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehi -
cles and pay attention to traffic condi -
tions.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers) which
could interfere with the hand detection
sensor.

Limited System Availability/Operation
System Availability
Performance of the TJA system may be
affected by the following factors:
Narrow, winding, curvy streets
Lane boundaries that are not clear or in
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.)
If the camera is exposed to glare from direct
sunlight or headlights of an oncoming
vehicle
If the camera or sensor is damaged,
covered, or obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice,
snow, etc.)
The bumper is damaged or misaligned
Interference with other equipment causes
electromagnetic waves
Construction sites
If the indications given by the navigation
system of the radio system are not yet ready
or if the system is recalculating System Limited Operation
The TJA system may have limited or reduced
functionality when one of the following condi
-
tions occurs:
Lane boundaries are not clear or in condi -
tions of poor visibility (e.g. in heavy rain,
snow, fog, etc.)
Either the camera or radar are damaged,
covered, or obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice,
snow, etc.)
When driving on hills or narrow bends
Near highway toll booths
When the highway entrance or exit is more
than 20 ft (6 m) wide
If the camera is exposed to glare from
reflections or direct sunlight
NOTE:
If damage to the windshield occurs, have
the windshield replaced by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
If the vehicle approaches a bend that is too
narrow with respect to the current speed,
the TJA system will deactivate.
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the car in the event that the TJA
system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel when the TJA system is activated.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehi -
cles and pay attention to traffic condi -
tions.
The TJA system should only be used as a
driving aid. The drive must always pay
attention to their surroundings when the
system is operating and be ready to take
control of the vehicle at any time.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers) that
could interfere with the hand detection
sensor on the steering wheel.
