Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
•
You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
• Your hands are on the steering wheel.
• The system detects both lane
markings.
Note: If it does not detect valid lane
markings, the system stays inactive until
valid markings are available.
You can override the system at any time
by steering your vehicle.
If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred
lane position. The system provides
continuous assistance steering torque
input toward the preferred position.
Note: The system can only set preferred
lane positions within the lane.
Note: If the system cancels, the preferred
position erases. On the next activation, the
system provides continuous assistance
steering torque input toward the lane center.
System Alerts and Automatic
Cancellation
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. If you do not react to
the warnings the system cancels and slows
your vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control.
The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Note: The system may detect a light grip
or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving. When an external condition cancels the
system, for example, no lane markings
available, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the information display. If your vehicle starts to slow
down, you must contribute to
the steering control and press
and release the button to regain full
system performance.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
• The lane becomes too wide or too
narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings are crossed.
Note: The system disables until the next
key cycle if your vehicle slows down due to
driver inactivity twice within a key cycle.

system detects a different maximum speed
limit.
Note: The speed limit information provided
by the navigation map data may be
inaccurate or out of date.

inclement weather or if an incorrect speed
is set.
