WHAT IS ACTIVE DRIVE
ASSIST
Active drive assist keeps your vehicle
centered in the lane and offers a
hands-free driving mode in certain
situations when using adaptive cruise
control.
HOW DOES ACTIVE DRIVE
ASSIST WORK
Active drive assist uses cameras to monitor
your vehicle position within a lane and
applies steering support to keep your
vehicle centered in the lane.
Using the cameras and location
information, active drive assist allows you
to remove your hands from the steering
wheel and offers a hands-free driving
mode in certain areas.
When active, active drive assist uses a
driver facing camera and infrared lighting
to monitor your eyes and head position to
detect if you are distracted. If the system
determines you are distracted, it alerts you
to return your eyes back to the road.
Camera and lighting areas.
A Note:
When active drive assist is active, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, camera data may be
recorded through the vehicle event data
recorder. See Event Data (page 22).
Note: No data is recorded under normal
driving conditions.
