traffic lane while another vehicle approaches
from behind or is in your door mirrors' "blind

If your vehicle begins to drift into another traffic
lane while another vehicle is in your "blind area"
or if a vehicle is approaching quickly from behind
in an adjacent traffic lane, this function can assist
the driver to steer the vehicle back into its proper
traffic lane.
This function can also help provide assistance if
the driver is changing lanes and using the turn
signal and another vehicle is approaching from
behind.
The function is active at speeds between approx.

lane marker lines.
After the system has taken automatic action, this
will be indicated in the instrument panel by a
message such as
