Active Lane Assist Activation Conditions
Warning: The features in active lane assist (ALA) are intended only as aids for a conscientious and alert driver. Do not rely on ALA to safely operate the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for keeping their hands on the wheel at all times when ALA is active.
ALA may not indicate lane departures under certain conditions. Read the information in this manual to understand the circumstances under which ALA may not provide adequate lane departure warnings.
ALA does not warn of all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe driving procedures.
Failure to drive safely and use ALA properly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
ALA is activated each time the vehicle is turned on.
The LDW/LDP component of ALA is ready to issue warnings and initiate actions as soon as the vehicle reaches 37 mph (60 km/h) and both lane lines are identified and show on the driver display as solid lane markings. LDP requires both lane lines to be identifiable to function; LDW only requires one lane line to function.
LKA is ready to issue warnings and initiate actions when cruise control is active and when the vehicle is driving forward at approximately 15-20 mph (24-32 km/h).
The status of LKA is shown by the color and design of the steering wheel telltales on the driver display screen.
-
Blue hands-on steering wheel: LKA is on and actively steering.
-
Grey hands-on steering wheel: LKA is on but inactive (due to glare, snow, bad lane lines, etc.).
-
Red hands-on steering wheel: auto stop is active.
-
Amber steering wheel with exclamation point: There is a problem with the electro-hydraulic power steering system which deactivates LKA.
-
Red steering wheel with exclamation point: There is an error with the adaptive power steering (APS) which deactivates LKA or an error with LKA.
-
No steering wheel icon: LKA is off or deactivated.
See Fig. and Fig. for examples of an LKA status telltale in the driver display.
Auto stop initiates at the end of the LKA hands-on warning cascade and is only activated when LKA is active.

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for fifteen seconds with Lane Keep Assist (LKA) active, an amber caution pop-up screen appears (see Fig.) telling the driver to return their hands to the steering wheel. After hands are on the steering wheel, the pop-up disappears.
