It is the driver's responsibility to remain alert at all times. See Owner's Manual for details and limitations about each of these advanced driver assistance systems.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (New Features)

Highway Lane Change Assist:

The Highway Lane Change Assist function automatically helps with steering to help prevent the vehicle from leaving the lane. Highway Lane Change Assist (HLCA), when used in conjunction with Highway Driving Assist II, can help the driver change lanes when the turn signal indicator is held above the locked position on the steering column. HLCA can help the driver check blind spots for other vehicles and can help provide steering assistance during the lane change. There are limitations to the function, detection, range, and clarity of the system. HLCA may not function correctly if one or more of the parking sensors is damaged, dirty, or covered, or if weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or fog) are interfering with the sensor operation. Always drive carefully and use extreme caution when other vehicles are present. See Owner's Manual for further details and limitations.

[Image: Screenshot of the infotainment screen showing the 'Highway Lane Change Assist' settings.]

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) (if equipped):

The Intelligent Speed Limit Assist uses information from the detected road sign and navigation system to inform the driver of the speed limit and additional information of the current road. When activated, it also helps the driver maintain within the speed limit of the road by adjusting the vehicle's speed. Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) can help the driver maintain cruise control speed limit using speed limit sign recognition. ISLA cannot detect all speed limit signs, including when speed limit signage is obscured or beyond the camera's field of view. Driver remains responsible to observe posted speeds. See Owner's Manual for further details and limitations.
