How this technology works
Active driving assistance supports both steering and brake/acceleration for the driver. This system combines the functions of both adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance to help you stay in the centre of the driving lane and to maintain the speed set by the driver or help maintain a gap with the vehicle ahead.
This is not an automated driving system. The driver needs to be actively involved in the act of driving or the system will disengage automatically.

Description
