Continued
Driving
Traffic Jam Assist
The traffic jam assist system uses a radar sensor mounted inside the front grille and
a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left
and right white (yellow) traffic lane lines as well as any vehicle ahead. Based on
inputs from the radar sensor and camera, the system can adjust the speed of your
vehicle to maintain a set interval between your vehicle and the one detected ahead.
It also can apply steering torque to keep yo ur vehicle in the center of the detected
lane when you are driving in heavy traffic.
■How Traffic Jam Assist works
If you are in heavy traffic and Adaptive Cruise Contro l with Low Speed Follow is
active, the traffic jam assist system, upon detecting the traffic lane lines and a vehicle
ahead, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of the lane.
The system adjusts the speed of your vehicl e to maintain a set interval between your
vehicle and the one detected ahead.
