Driving your vehicle
WARNING
• Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while driving
• If you hold the steering wheel
with a light grip, the system
may generate a hands off
warning.
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start providing steering
inputs.
