Handling of Steering Wheel Touch Sensor( if equipped)
CAUTION
Sensors are incorporated around the steering wheel to detect whether you are holding the steering wheel. To prevent malfunctions, observe the following.
• Wipe off any water or other liquid that gets on the steering wheel immediately. Also, do not operate the steering wheel with wet hands. Hands-Free Assist and Active Lane Change Assist may not operate properly if the steering wheel is wet.
• Do not let the surface of the steering wheel become discolored, stained or scratched, or else the sensors that detect whether you are holding the steering wheel may not function properly. Do not attach a cover, etc. to the steering wheel.
NOTE
In the following situations, the system may not detect steering operation correctly and may show an alert even if you operate the steering wheel.
• A cover is attached to the steering wheel.
• You are wearing gloves.
• There is foreign matter on the steering wheel.
• You are holding the spokes or other part of the steering wheel where there are no sensors.
• You are operating the steering wheel with one hand.
• When operating near a facility where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a broadcast station and power transmission lines.
