Press the button.
The indicator appears in the information
display. When the system is on, the color of
the indicator changes to indicate the system
status. See Adaptive Cruise Control
Indicators (page 312).
Note:Adaptive cruise control must be on
before you can switch lane centering on.
Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
• You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
• The vehicle is centered in the lane.
• Your hands are on the steering wheel at
all times.
• 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.
When lane centering is active and the
direction indicator is switched on, the system
immediately cancels. The system remains in
standby mode as long as the direction
indicator is engaged. The system re-activates
automatically once the vehicle is centered
in a lane and the direction indicator is
switched off.
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 the system is cancelled due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
not on the steering wheel, the system
immediately alerts you to take control of the
vehicle. If this alert is ignored, the system
slows the vehicle while maintaining steering
control.

When you switch the system on, a graphic
of lane markings appears in the information
display.
When you switch the system off, the lane
marking graphics do not display.
While the system is on, the color of the lane
markings change to indicate the system
status. These colors represent the following:Gray: Indicates that the system is temporarily
unable to provide a warning or intervention
on the indicated side. This may be because:
• Your vehicle is under the activation
speed.
• The direction indicator is active.
• Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
• The road has no or poor lane markings
in the camera field-of-view.
• The camera is obscured or unable to
detect the lane markings due to
environmental, traffic or vehicle
conditions. For example, significant sun
angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain or fog,
following a large vehicle that is blocking
or shadowing the lane or poor headlamp
illumination.
See Troubleshooting for additional
information.
Green: Indicates that the system is available
or ready to provide a warning or intervention
on the indicated side.
Animated graphic: Indicates that the system
is providing or has just provided a lane
keeping aid intervention.

Driving Aids

Note:If you perceive the pre-collision assist
alert as being too frequent or disturbing, you
can reduce the alert sensitivity. The low
sensitivity causes fewer and later warnings
of a potential forward collision. The
manufacturer recommends using the high
sensitivity setting where possible.
Note:The sensitivity setting does not affect
the performance of the automatic
emergency braking.
Note:The system turns off when you select
deep conditions or deep sand mode.
Distance Indication and Alert (If Equipped)
This is a function that provides the driver with
a graphical indication of the time gap to other
preceding vehicles traveling in the same
direction. The system shows one of the
graphics that follow in the information
display.

attempt to avoid a crash with the road user,
the system applies additional steering torque
to help you steer around the road user. After
you pass the road user, the system applies
steering torque when you turn the steering
wheel to steer back into the lane. The system
turns off after you fully pass the road user.
