HA can be used only on controlled access highways.

Use of HA may not be permissible in certain states.   Weather, traffic, road conditions, availability of high-definition map data and other factors may affect performance.  HA helps drivers with the driving tasks but is not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner.  Drivers must always pay attention to vehicle alerts, warnings, road condition, road objects, other drivers, pedestrians and take corrective action if required.  Failure to pay attention and use proper care may result in injury, death, or damage to property.
