HIGHWAY DRIVING ASSIST 2 (HDA2)*

Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/controlled access highways/freeways.

Highway Lane Change Assist may assist in changing lanes, if the driver has turned on the turn signal and if the system detects the lane change is possible.

When HDA2 is activated and the proper conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator will illuminate green. If the conditions are not met, HDA2 will be in standby mode and the indicator light will illuminate white. When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, the Instrument Cluster will show the lanes illuminated white and the HDA2 indicator illuminated green .

When HDA2 is operating, your vehicle will stop if the vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if the vehicle ahead of you starts moving within approximately 30 seconds after the stop, your vehicle will start to move as well.

Hands-off Warning

If the driver takes their hands off the Steering Wheel for several seconds, a warning message will appear on the Instrument Cluster and an audible warning will sound. If hands on the Steering Wheel are not detected, HDA2 will cancel.
