LCA functions
This function is linked to the LTA
and provides assistance in per-
forming lane changes through
steering wheel operations.
Use the this function only on high-
ways and expressways.
The steering assist operation can
be overridden by the steering wheel
operation of the driver.
The lane change assist function is
not designed to operate when
changing lanes at a junction.
WARNING
Before using the LCA system
■
Do not overly rely on the LCA
●
system.
The LCA system is not a system
which provides automated assis-
tance in driving and it is not a sys-
tem which reduces the need for
checking an adjacent lane for
other vehicles, approaching vehi-
cles, 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 care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
