• Aware Cruise Control – Cruise control that matches the speed to traffic –
• Auto Lane Change – Assisted lane changes while driving on the highway –

You’ll get a notification to your touchscreen when the trial is ready. If you select ‘Enable’, all Enhanced Autopilot features, including Autosteer and Auto Lane Change, will immediately be activated and available to use.

Please only enable these features if you will pay attention to the road, keep your hands on the steering wheel, and be prepared to take over at all times.
