5-116 Starting and driving
WAF0639X
Hands on detection
When the Steering Assist is activated, it
monitors the driver’s steering wheel op-
eration.
If the steering wheel is not operated or
the driver takes his/her hands off the
steering wheel for a period of time, the
warning
appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display and the hands OFF warn-
ing light
illuminates.
If the driver does not operate the steering
wheel after the warning has been dis-
played and the warning light illuminated,
an audible alert sounds and both the
warning and the warning light flash. If the
driver still does not operate the steering
wheel, the system applies a momentary
brake application to request the driver to
take control of the vehicle again.
If the driver still does not respond, the
system turns on the hazard flasher and
slows the vehicle to a complete stop.
The driver can cancel the deceleration at
any time by steering, braking, accelerat-
ing, or operating the ProPILOT Assist
switch.
WARNING
Steering Assist is not a system for a
hands-free driving. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel and
drive your vehicle safely. Failure to
do so could cause a collision result-
ing in serious personal injury or
death.
NOTE:
If the driver lightly touches (instead of
firmly grips) the steering wheel, the
steering torque sensor may not detect
the driver’s hand(s) on the steering
wheel and a sequence of warnings
may occur. When the driver holds and
operates the steering wheel again, the
warnings turn off.
