STEERING ASSIST
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
Steering Assist could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
. The Steering Assist is not a re-
placement for proper driving pro-
cedures and is not designed to
correct careless, inattentive or
absent-minded driving. The
Steering Assist will not always
steer the vehicle to keep it in the
lane. It is not designed to prevent
loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely, keep the vehicle in the
traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times.
. As there is a performance limit to
the Steering Assist’s capability,
never rely solely on the system.
The Steering Assist does not
function in all driving, traffic,
weather, and road conditions. Al-
ways drive safely, pay attention
to the operation of the vehicle,
and manually control your vehicle
appropriately.
. The Steering Assist is intended
for use on well-developed high-
ways with gentle (moderate)
curves. To avoid risk of an acci-
dent, do not use this system on
local or non-highway roads.
. The Steering Assist only steers
the vehicle to maintain its posi-
tion in the center of a lane. The
vehicle will not steer to avoid
objects in the road in front of
the vehicle or to avoid a vehicle
moving into your lane.
. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all
times. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel when driving.
Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel and drive your
vehicle safely.
. Always drive carefully and atten-
tively when using the Steering
Assist. Read and understand the
Owner’s Manual thoroughly be-
fore using the Steering Assist. To
avoid serious injury or death, do
not rely on the system to prevent
accidents or to control the vehi-
cle’s speed in emergency situa-
tions. Do not use the Steering
Assist except in appropriate road
and traffic conditions.
Steering Assist operation
Steering Assist helps the driver keep the
vehicle near the center of the lane when
both right and left lane markers are
detected. Steering Assist only operates
when combined with the Intelligent
Cruise Control (ICC) system. For additional
information, see “Intelligent Cruise Con-
trol (ICC)” (P.5-97).
The Steering Assist can be activated
when the following conditions are met:
. The ICC system is activated.
. Lane markers on both sides are clearly
detected.
. A vehicle ahead is detected (when the
vehicle is driven at speeds under 37
MPH (60 km/h)).
. The driver grips the steering wheel.
. The vehicle is driven at the center of
the lane.
. The turn signals are not operated.
. The windshield wiper is not operated
in the high speed position (the Steer-
ing Assist function is disabled after the
wiper operates for approximately 10
seconds in the high speed position).
