Active Lane Assist Overview
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.
Important: ACC must be active for LKA to be active. Deactivation of ACC also deactivates LKA.
Note: Earlier versions of ALA may not be equipped with the auto stop feature.
ALA with auto stop consists of:
-
lane departure protection (LDP), a feature that builds on LDW
-
lane keep assist (LKA)
-
auto stop, a feature that builds on LKA
When ALA with auto stop is on, it monitors the area in front of the vehicle with the multipurpose camera mounted at the top of the windshield. Keep the windshield clean and unobstructed in the area of the camera.
The LDW/LDP function of ALA detects lane markings on the road surface, warns the driver they may be leaving their lane unintentionally, and, if a driver does not respond to these warnings, moves the vehicle back into the center of the lane. If the driver's preferred lane position is other than 'center,' LKA will move the vehicle into the requested lane position after the LDP intervention is complete.
The LKA function of ALA uses micro-steering adjustments to keep the vehicle in the driver's preferred lane position. It also monitor's the driver's steering, and if it senses the driver's hand's have been removed, cautions the driver to return their hands to the steering wheel.
Auto stop works with LKA to smoothly bring the vehicle to a safe stop after LKA has registered that the driver has had their hands off the steering wheel for 60 seconds. Auto stop works to increase the safety of all road users in the case of an incapacitated driver.
