If the vehicle ahead and/or both lane markings are detected and your vehicle speed is below 120 mph (200 km/h), the green indicator light illuminates on the instrument cluster, and Lane Following Assist helps center the vehicle in the lane by assisting the steering wheel.

When the steering wheel is not assisted, the white indicator light blinks and change to gray.

  • The steering wheel may not be assisted if the steering wheel is held very tight or the steering wheel is steered over a certain degree.

  • Lane Following Assist does not operate at all times. It is the responsibility of the driver to safely steer the vehicle and to maintain the vehicle in its lane.

  • The hands-off warning message may appear late depending on road conditions. Always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

  • If the steering wheel is held very lightly the hands-off warning message may appear because Lane Following Assist may not recognize that the driver has their hands on the steering wheel.

  • If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands-off warning may not work properly.

  • For more information on instrument cluster settings, refer to the "Cluster display (Type A)", "Cluster display (Type B)" section in chapter 4.
