The ELA system will operate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH) and above, and only when the lane markings or road edge are clearly visible on the road:

The ELA system warns the driver when the vehicle approaches the road edge or lane markers with an indicator on the vehicle information display and steering wheel vibration. The system helps assist the driver to return the vehicle to the travelling lane by applying the brakes to the left or right wheels individually (for a short period of time) in the following circumstances:

  • If [Emergency Lane] is ON in the settings menu of the vehicle information display:

    • The system warns the driver when the vehicle is approaching a lane markers or road edge.

    • The system assists the driver to return the vehicle to the travelling lane when the vehicle is approaching a solid line and road edge, or when there are oncoming vehicles in adjacent lanes.

    • The system warns and assists the driver to return the vehicle to the travelling lane when there are overtaking vehicles in adjacent lanes. The side indicator light will also flash.

  • If [Advanced Lane] is ON in the settings menu, the system assists the driver to return the vehicle to the travelling lane when the vehicle is approaching a dashed line.

A visual warning will be displayed during the assist or for at least 1 second, whichever is longer.

The strength of the steering wheel vibration can be changed in the settings menu of the vehicle information display. (See

)

During brake control by the ELA system, if the system determines that the steering wheel is not being operated, the duration of the warning buzzer increases as the number of assists increases from the second assist. Even if the system determines that the steering wheel has been operated, the warning buzzer will continue to sound for a certain period of time.
