Adaptive Cruise Assist Plus with hands-free highway driving

Take a break from being hands-on. When available and active on select highways, assisted hands-free driving can help control acceleration, braking, and steering while keeping the vehicle centered in its lane and maintaining a set distance from vehicles ahead, within system limitations. The system also monitors driver attentiveness and allows the driver to temporarily remove their hands from the steering wheel. The driver must remain attentive and be prepared to take control of the vehicle at any time.* After 3 years, a paid subscription may be required.
