 WARNING
• The steering wheel may not be 
assisted if the steering wheel is held 
very tight or the steering wheel is 
steered over a certain degree.
• Lane Keeping Assist does not operate 
at all times. It is the responsibility of 
the driver to safely steer the vehicle 
and to maintain the vehicle in its 
lane. 
• The hands–off warning message 
may appear late depending on road 
conditions. Always have your hands 
on the steering wheel while driving.
• If the steering wheel is held very 
lightly, the hands–off warning 
message may appear because the 
system may not recognize that the 
driver has their hands on the steering 
wheel.
• If you attach objects to the steering 
wheel, the hands-off warning may 
not work properly.
 Information
• For more details on setting the 
functions in the infotainment system, 
refer to “Vehicle Settings” section in 
chapter 4. 
• When lane markings are detected, the 
lane lines on the cluster will change 
from grey to white and the green 
 
indicator light will illuminate.

BLIND-SPOT COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (BCA) 
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist 
is designed to help detect and monitor 
approaching vehicles in the driver’s 
blind spot area and warn the driver 
of a possible collision with a warning 
message and audible warning.
In addition, if there is a risk of collision 
when changing lanes or driving forward 
out of a parking space, the system will 
help avoid a collision by applying the 
brake.

However, even if there is a vehicle in 
the blind spot area, the system may 
not warn you when you pass by at high 
speeds.
