■Lane centering function
This  function  is  linked  with
dynamic  radar  cruise  control
with  full-speed  range  and  pro-
vides  the  required  assistance
by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current
lane. 
When dynamic radar cruise con-
trol  with  full-speed  range  is  not
operating,  the  lane  centering
function does not operate. 
In  situations  where  the  white
(yellow) lane lines are difficult to
see  or  are  not  visible,  such  as
when  in  a  traffic  jam,  this  func-
tion  will  operate  to  help  follow  a
preceding  vehicle  by  monitoring
the  position  of  the  preceding
vehicle. 
If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been oper ated for
a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel is not being firml y gripped,
a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and the  function
is temporarily canceled.

tering function is operating, the buzzer may sound to indicate that the func-
tion has been temporarily canceled.
■ Steering assist function/lane centering function
●Depending  on  the  vehicle  speed,  lane  departure  situation,  road  conditions,
etc., the driver may not feel the function is operating or the function may not
operate at all.
● The  steering  control  of  the  function  is  overridden  by  the  drive r’s  steering
wheel operation.
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the steering assist fun ction.

■Hands off steering wheel warning
●When  the  system  determines  that  t he  driver  is  driving  without  holding  the
steering wheel while the system is operating
If  the  driver  continues  to  keep  their  hands  off  of  the  steering  wheel,  the
buzzer  sounds,  the  driver  is  warned  and  the  function  is  temporarily  can-
celed. This warning also operates in the same way when the driv er continu-
ously operates the steering wheel only a small amount.
● When  the  system  determines  that  the  vehicle  may  deviate  from  th e  lane
while driving around a curve while the lane centering function is operating
Depending  on  the  vehicle  condition  and  road  conditions,  the  war ning  may
not  operate.  Also,  if  the  system  determines  that  the  vehicle  is  driving
around a curve, warnings will occur earlier than during straight-lane driving.
● When  the  system  determines  that  t he  driver  is  driving  without  holding  the
steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering  assist function
is operating.
If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering  wheel and the
steering  wheel  assist  is  operating,  the  buzzer  sounds  and  the  d river  is
warned.  Each  time  the  buzzer  sounds,  the  continuing  time  of  the  buzzer
becomes longer.
■ Vehicle sway warning function In the following situations, a warning mes-
sage urging the driver  to hold the steering
wheel  and  the  symbol  shown  in  the  illus-
tration are displayed on the multi-informa-
tion  display  to  warn  the  driver.  The
warning  stops  when  the  system  deter-
mines  that  the  driver  holds  the  steering
wheel.  Always  keep  your  hands  on  the
steering  wheel  when  using  this  system,
regardless of warnings.
When  the  system  determines  that  the
vehicle  is  swaying  while  the  vehicle  sway
warning  function  is  operating,  a  buzzer
sounds  and  a  warning  message  urging
the driver to rest and the symbol shown in
the  illustration  are  simultaneously  dis-
