Hands-Free ADA system
Active Driving Assist
Engaged (Steering Wheel Green)
The Hands-Free ADA system has two operating modes:
●
Hands-On Mode
●
Hands-Free Mode
While driving, the system will switch between modes as
determined by road conditions.
Hands-On Mode
Hands-On mode uses sensors within the steering wheel to
measure driver attentiveness, and requires that the driver
have their hands on the steering wheel at all times.
Hands-Free Mode
Hands-Free mode uses sensors within the steering
wheel and a driver monitoring camera located on top of
the steering column to monitor driver attentiveness.
Hands-Free mode allows the driver to remove their
hands temporarily from the steering wheel, when
the system is engaged, on approved roadways (see
following note). The system will still require that the
driver continue to pay attention to the road and remain
ready to take control of the vehicle.

Assisted Lane Change
The Assisted Lane Change sub feature is available
when operating in Hands-Free mode. The system
uses sensors, including Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
sensors, to determine if a lane change is possible and
will indicate that a lane change is available by showing
a dashed green lane line graphic on the available side.
If the driver activates the turn signal, and a lane change
is available in that direction, the system will begin
changing lanes and show a green lane change arrow
graphic until the lane change is complete.
NOTE:
The system will only change one lane at a time, if you
wish to change multiple lanes, you must request a new
lane change after the first one is completed.
Assisted Lane Change Status
If the lane change is not available, a yellow lane change
arrow graphic will be shown, and the system will search
for lane change options for several seconds before
timing out.
The driver can cancel the lane change by activating the
turn signal in the opposite directions, or by overriding
the ADA system with the steering wheel, brake pedal, or
OFF button.
Below are some of the reasons why Assisted Lane
Change may not be available:
●
Another vehicle is detected in the destination lane and
there is not enough space to complete the lane change.
●
The driver is not attentive, and the system is requesting
the driver look forward.
●
Vehicle speed is below 37 mph (60 km/h).
●
The destination lane is not supported for Hands-Free
Mode.
●
The vehicle is travelling in or approaching a tight curve.
170 STARTING AND OPERATING
Two types of Active Driving Assist systems are available:
●
The vehicle has a turn signal that is not functioning.
