About Traffic Jam Assist

The Traffic Jam Assist system uses a camera mounted to the upper portion of the windshield to detect and monitor left and right white (or yellow) traffic lane lines.

Based on inputs from the camera, the system can apply steering torque to keep your vehicle in the center of the detected lane.

Important Safety Reminders

Traffic Jam Assist is for your convenience only. It is not an autonomous driving system and always requires driver attention and control.

The system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.

 

Traffic Jam Assist is convenient when it is used on expressways or freeways.

 

It is always your responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in any of the following situations:
  1. You are traveling on a road with sharp curves.
    1. The system may not allow your vehicle to respond in a manner best suited for the road conditions.
  2. You are entering a toll booth, interchange, service area, or parking area.
  3. You are driving in adverse weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
  4. The surface of the road is slippery; for example, it is icy or covered with snow.
    1. The tires may slip, causing you to lose control of the vehicle.

If your vehicle veers too far to the right or the left of the white (or yellow) traffic lane lines while Traffic Jam Assist is active, deactivate Traffic Jam Assist and have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Lane Keep Support Function

When you are in heavy traffic and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) is active, the traffic jam assist system, upon detecting the traffic lane lines, will apply steering torque to help keep your vehicle in the center of the lane.

  1. When the driver takes full control of the steering, the steering assist function is temporarily canceled.
  2. The torque applied to the steering may not be noticeable when the driver has full control of the steering, or when the surface of the road is rough or uneven.

Lane Departure Warning Function

In some driving situations, when the system detects that the vehicle has departed from its lane, the Traffic Jam Assist alerts you with an audible alert as well as a warning display.
