2-4. Using other driving systems
No-handed driving warning
■
If the steering wheel is not operated for about 15 seconds on a straight road
or about 5 seconds on a curve, the buzzer will beep twice, indicators on the
multi-information display will flash, and the lane keeping assist function will
be temporarily canceled. If you drive the vehicle with your hands lightly
touching the steering wheel, this may also be detected as no-handed driv-
ing.
When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
■
The LKA system functions may not be available for a while after driving has
started. In such cases, turn the LKA system off and turn it on again after nor-
mal temperature returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and
the temperature around the camera sensor becomes suitable for its opera-
tion, the functions will begin to operate.
CAUTION
Before using the LKA system
■
Do not rely on the LKA system to remain within a selected lane. The LKA
system is not designed to enable inattentive driving. The steering wheel
should be operated by the driver to maintain the vehicle in a suitable position
within its lane. Always drive carefully.
