Lane Centering Function
■ Emergency Stop Assist
This driving support system is intended to reduce the risk of accidents in the event that the driver can no longer operate the vehicle , for example due to a medical emergency . If the system determines that the driver is incapacitated based on steering operation , or the Driver Monitoring System ( if equipped ), etc ., it slows down and then stops the vehicle in the driving lane . While Lane Centering Function is operating , if the system does not detect steering operation or the driver ’ s state for a certain period of time , or if it detects driver inattention , that the driver has fallen asleep or has unfastened the driver ’ s seatbelt , sounds and warning screens are used to urge the driver to operate the steering wheel or to operate the steering wheel while keeping their eyes on the road . If the system still cannot detect steering operation or steering operation while the driver ’ s eyes are on the road , it determines that the driver is incapacitated and slows down and then stops the vehicle in the driving lane while continuing to urge the driver to operate the steering wheel or to operate the steering wheel while keeping their eyes on the road . After the vehicle has stopped , the hazard warning flashers are used to alert trailing and surrounding vehicles of the emergency situation , and all doors ( including the rear gate ) are automatically unlocked . The system also makes an emergency call after the vehicle has stopped .
