Highway Assist On/Off Button
To enable the Highway Assist system, proceed as follows:
1. Push the Highway Assist on/off button located on
the right side of the steering wheel. The steering
wheel image will display white in the instrument
cluster display until the system is engaged. If ACC
was previously disabled, pushing this button will
activate BOTH ACC and Highway Assist systems.
2. If ACC was engaged before pushing the HAS on/off
button, ACC will remain active and HAS will also
become engaged (once all other conditions are met).
3. If ACC was not active before pushing the HAS on/off
button, push the SET (+) button or the SET (-) button
and release when the desired driving speed is shown
in the instrument cluster display.
4. If desired, adjust the ACC distance setting by pushing
the Distance Increase or Distance Decrease buttons.
When all system conditions are met as described in
“System Engagement Conditions” in the next section, the
system will engage and the steering wheel image in the
display will change to green.
Highway Assist Engaged (Steering Wheel Green)
NOTE:
Along with the color change of the steering wheel image,
the “glow” effect of the instrument cluster display will also
change to green when HAS is engaged.
WARNING!
The Highway Assist system is a convenience system.
It is not a substitute for active driver involvement. It is
always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road
traffic, weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to
the vehicle ahead, position in the lane compared to
other vehicles, and brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision and death or
serious personal injury.
You should turn off the Highway Assist system:

When driving in complex driving situations (e.g.
urban environments, construction zones, etc.),
adverse weather or low visibility conditions (e.g. rain,
snow, fog, sleet, dust), or adverse road conditions
(e.g. heavy traffic, worn or missing lane markings,
etc.).

When entering a highway off-ramp, when driving on
roads that are icy, snow covered, or slippery.

When driving during difficult or uncertain conditions.
