- If you change the lane without op‐
erating the turn signal lights,
steering reaction force of the
wheel may occur.
• Once the LFA system is turned on or
the lane is changed, the vehicle
should be in the center of the road to
switch to the steering assist mode. If
the driver keeps driving along the
lane, the LFA system will not assist
the steering.
• When the ESC or VSM is activated,
the system does not assist steering.
• When driving on a curved road at a
high speed, steering assist mode may
not work.
• When driving at a speed faster than
170 km/h, steering assist mode may
not work.
• When sudden steering is made, the
system could be temporarily deacti‐
vated.
• If you change the lane in a hurry, the
system does not assist the steering.
• If the vehicle suddenly stops, it does
not assist the steering.
• If the lane is too narrow or too wide,
steering is not assisted.
• If the system is not able to recognize
a vehicle in front and either of the
lanes is not recognized, the steering
is not assisted
• If the radius is too small for the curve
Cautions for the driver

limited for the LFA system as shown
