Lane Change Assist

: If equipped
LCA (Lane Change Assist)
LCA functions
This function is linked to the LTA and
provides assistance in performing lane
changes through steering wheel oper-
ations.
Use the this function only on highways
and expressways.
The steering assist operation can be
overridden by the steering wheel oper-
ation of the driver.
The lane change assist function is not
designed to operate when changing
lanes at a junction.
*
Before using the LCA system
■
●
Do not overly rely on the LCA system.
The LCA system is not a system which
provides automated assistance in driving
and it is not a system which reduces the
need for checking an adjacent lane for
other vehicles, approaching vehicles, etc.
when changing lanes. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to their
surroundings and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure safety.
Also, do not use the LCA to change
lanes into which a lane change should
not be performed (oncoming lanes, road
shoulders, etc.).
Failure to perform appropriate driving
●
operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident.
■
