Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the ELK.
The ELK has limitations. Do not rely
completely on the system and always
stay on course using the steering
wheel.
The ELK is not an automated driving
system. Over reliance on the system
could lead to an accident.
The detection range of the camera
and sensors is limited. If the steering
wheel operation assist is operated
without detecting a two-wheeled
vehicle near the detecting vehicle, it
could result in an accident.
Do not use the ELK under the
following conditions. Otherwise, it
may result in an accident.
The vehicle is driven on slippery
roads such as icy roads,
snow-covered roads, and unpaved
roads.
Tires other than the specified size are
used, such as when tire chains or
temporary spare tires are used.
(Blind Spot Assist)
The vehicle is driven on roads other
than expressways and highways.
(Blind Spot Assist and Head-on
traffic avoidance assist)
The rear bumper around a rear side
radar sensor is deformed.
