WARNING

• The steering wheel may not be assisted if the steering wheel is held very tight or the steering wheel is steered over a certain degree.

• The hands-off warning message may appear late depending on road conditions.

  Always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

• If the steering wheel is held very lightly, the hands-off warning message may appear because Lane Keeping Assist may not detect that the driver has their hands on the steering wheel.
• If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands-off warning may not work properly.

NOTICE
