WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN THE LANE KEEP ASSIST ICON TURNS WHITE?
The LANE KEEP ASSIST icon will turn white under these conditions:
- The feature’s camera is unable to detect lane lines due to poor visibility, such as conditions (e.g., fog, rain or faded lane lines) in which you would have difficulty seeing the lane lines.
- You're not moving fast enough for the feature to activate.
- If you're braking or accelerating.
Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather, and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.
