System Alerts and Automatic
Cancellation
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
Note: Adaptive cruise control must be on
before you can switch lane centering on.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. If you do not react to
the warnings the system cancels and slows

The system also alerts you if your vehicle
