Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
*
▼Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
The LAS provides stee
ring assistance to
help the driver stay within the vehicle
lane if the vehicle might be deviating.
The forward sensing camera (FSC)
detects the white lines (yellow lines) of
the vehicle lane in which the vehicle is
traveling and if the system determines
that the vehicle may deviate from its
lane, it operates the electric power
steering to assist the driver’s steering
operation. The system also alerts the
driver by displaying an alert on the
multi-information display and the
active driving display. Use the system
when you drive the vehicle on roads
with white (yellow) lines such as
expressways and highways.
1. Forward sensing camera (FSC)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the LAS:
 The LAS is not an automated driving
system. In addition, the system is not
designed to compensate for a
driver’s lack of caution, and
over-reliance on the system could
lead to an accident.

Emergency Lane Keeping(ELK)
*
▼Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
The ELK is a system designed to assist
the driver’s steering wheel operation to
avoid danger.
The ELK consists of the Blind Spot
Assist function to prevent your vehicle
from colliding with vehicles on
adjacent lanes, and the Road Keep
Assist function to prevent your vehicle
from deviating from the road.
Refer to Blind Spot Assist on page
4-141.
Refer to Road Keep Assist on page
4-144.
▼
Blind Spot Assist*
The Blind Spot Assist
function assists
the driver in avoiding collisions with
vehicles in adjacent lanes (excluding
vehicles approaching in the opposite
direction).
The Blind Spot Assist function detects
white lines (yellow lines) on the vehicle
lane using the Forward Sensing Camera
(FSC) and detects vehicles on adjacent
lanes using the rear side radar sensors.
If there is a possibility of a collision
with a vehicle in an adjacent lane
when you try to change lanes or if you
may deviate from your lane, it assists
your steering wheel operation to keep
you in the driving lane.
When the steering wheel operation
assist operates, a warning sound and
warning indications on displays alert
the driver of the possibility of a
collision. Furthermore, if the possibility
of a collision increases, a warning
sound and display indications alert the
driver of the danger.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Blind
Spot Assist function and always drive
carefully:
 The Blind Spot Assist function has
limitations. Do not rely completely
on the system and always stay on
course using the steering wheel.
 The Blind Spot Assist function is not
an autonomous driving system. In
addition, the system is not designed
to compensate for a driver’s lack of
caution, and over-reliance on the
system could lead to an accident.
