5. Driving guide
NOTE
When the steering assist functions, the
driver can still turn the steering wheel
to control the vehicle. When the torque
applied by the system is found improper,
the driver can control the vehicle to travel
according to his intention when required.
Hands-on detection and reminder
Please take over the
steering wheel immediately
When detecting that the steering wheel is out
of the driver’s hands for a long time, ICA will
issue a hands-on reminder. In this case, a
hands flashing picture
will appear above
the ICA indicator lamp, and a message will
pop up. If the driver still does not take over the
steering wheel, the reminder will be upgraded,
and the instrument cluster will display the
figure above, accompanied by audible alarm.
The driver shall immediately hold the steering
wheel immediately after receiving the hands-
on reminder. Don’t panic or turn the steering
wheel fiercely. After ICA recognizes that
the driver is holding the steering wheel by
detecting the torque manually applied to
the steering wheel, the hands-on reminder
disappears. In this case, ICA is automatically
reactivated.
If the driver does not take over the steering
wheel within a period of time after a steering
wheel hands-on reminder is issued, the
steering assist function of ICA will be
interrupted.
NOTE
ICA may mistake driver’s hands lightly
placed on the steering wheel as hands
taken off the steering wheel. In this case,
the driver only needs to hold the steering
wheel tightly or shake the steering wheel
slightly, so that the system can detect
the torque applied to the steering wheel.
Afterwards the hands-on reminder will
disappear.
