HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
O
PERATION
The Highway Assist system (HAS) is combined with
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and
centers the vehicle in the driving lane while
traveling on controlled access highways at speeds
up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system
limitations, see Ú page 118.
NOTE:
The driver should always obey traffic laws and
speed limits. Never drive above applicable
speed limit restrictions.
The driver can override HAS at any time by
braking, accelerating, or steering the vehicle.
Just like ACC, HAS will maintain a set speed as long
as the set distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front is maintained. HAS will also keep
your vehicle centered between the lane lines, and
monitor for other vehicles in adjacent lanes by
utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring sensors.
HAS uses sensors within the steering wheel to
measure driver attentiveness. HAS requires the
driver's hands on the steering wheel at all times.
The system will generally aim to keep the vehicle
centered in the lane, but when the driver turns the
steering wheel (e.g. to move further away from a
large vehicle in the next lane) the system will
reduce its control and enter "co-steering" mode.
While in co-steering mode, the system will provide
reduced assistance and allow the driver to control
the path of the vehicle. Once the driver stops
providing input to the steering wheel, the system
will require a few seconds to fully resume lane
centering assistance, especially during curves.
WARNING!
The Highway Assist system is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver
involvement. It is always the driver's
responsibility to be attentive of road traffic,
weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to
the vehicle ahead, position in the lane compared
to other vehicles, and brake operation to ensure
safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always
required while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision and death or serious
personal injury.
STARTING AND OPERATING
You should turn off the Highway Assist system:
When driving in complex driving situations
(e.g. urban environments, construction zones,
etc.), adverse weather (e.g. rain, snow, fog,
sleet, dust), or adverse road conditions
(e.g. heavy traffic, worn or missing lane
markings, etc.).
When entering a highway off ramp, when
driving on roads that are, icy, snow covered, or
slippery.
When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed.
