276 5-4. Using the driving support systems
LCA( Lane Change Assist)
LCA functions
This function is linked to the LTA and provides assistance in performing lane changes through steering wheel operations.
Use this function only on highways and expressways.
The steering assist operation can be overridden by the steering wheel operation of the driver.
The lane change assist function is not designed to operate when changing lanes at a junction.
WARNING n Before using the LCA system
lDo not overly rely on the LCA system. The LCA system is not a system which provides automated assistance in driving and it is
not a system which reduces the need for checking an adjacent lane for other vehicles,
approaching vehicles, etc. when changing lanes. The driver is
solely responsible for paying attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering wheel as necessary to ensure safety.
Also, do not use the LCA to change lanes into which a lane change should not be performed( oncoming lanes, road shoulders, etc.).
lFailure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident.
