●

If the operation conditions (



P.182) are 

no longer met while the lane centering 

function is operating, the steering wheel 

may vibrate and the buzzer may sound to 

indicate that the function has been tem-

porarily canceled. However, if the “Alert” 
customization setting is set to 

, the 

system will notify the driver by vibrating 

the steering wheel instead of sounding 

the buzzer.

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 oper-

ate at all.

●

The steering control of the function is 

overridden by the driver’s steering wheel 

operation.

●

Do not attempt to test the operation of 

the steering assist function.

■

Lane departure alert function

●

The warning buzzer may be difficult to 

hear due to external noise, audio play-

back, etc. Also, it may be difficult to feel 

steering wheel vibrations due to the road 

conditions, etc.

●

If the edge of the course

*

 is not clear or 

straight, the lane departure alert function 

may not operate.

●

It may not be possible for the system to 

determine if there is a danger of a colli-

sion with a vehicle in an adjacent lane.

●

Do not attempt to test the operation of 

the lane departure alert function.

of the road, such as grass, soil, or a curb

Hands off steering wheel warning

In the following situations, a warning mes-

sage urging the driver to hold the steering 

wheel and the symbol shown in the illustra-

tion are displayed on the multi-information 

display to warn the driver. The warning 

stops when the system determines that the 

driver holds the steering wheel. Always 

keep your hands on the steering wheel 

when using this system, regardless of warn-

ings.

●

When the system determines the driver is 

not holding the steering wheel while the 

lane centering function is operating.

If the driver continues to keep their hands 
off of the steering wheel, the buzzer 
sounds, the driver is warned and the func-
tion is temporarily canceled. This warning 
also operates in the same way when the 
driver continuously operates the steering 
wheel only a small amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert 
type is set to 

.

●

When the system determines that the 

vehicle may deviate from the lane while 

driving around a curve while the lane 

centering function is operating.

Depending on the vehicle condition and 

road conditions, the warning may not 

operate. Also, if the system determines that 

the vehicle is driving around a curve, warn-

ings will occur earlier than during 

straight-lane driving.

●

When the system determines that the 

driver is driving without holding the steer-

ing wheel while the steering wheel assist 

of the steering assist function is operat-

ing.

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 driver is warned. Each time 
the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of 
the buzzer becomes longer.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
