Steering assistance during collision risks from behind*

Updated 2020-10-27

Steering assistance has several sub-functions. If you become distracted and do not notice your vehicle starting to veer out of the lane while another vehicle is approaching from behind or is in your vehicle's blind spot, Steering assistance during collision risks from behind can help provide assistance.

P5-1717 - Blind Spot Information Systems with steering assistanse — The function provides assistance by steering your vehicle back into your own lane.

P5-Icon red circle 1 — The function provides assistance by steering your vehicle back into your own lane.

If your vehicle is beginning to veer out of your lane while another vehicle is in your blind spot or another vehicle is rapidly approaching in the next lane, this function can help the driver steer the vehicle back into its own lane.

Even if the driver intentionally changes lanes using a turn signal without noticing another vehicle approaching, the function can provide assistance.

The function is active at speeds between 60-140 km/h (37-87 mph) on roads with clearly visible traffic lane markings/lines.

The lights in the door mirrors will flash while steering assistance is being provided, whether or not the BLIS1 function is activated. An audible signal will also sound.

When the function is intervening, a message is displayed in the instrument panel.
