Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take your hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.
2 Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages P. 93
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent
the system from detecting lane lines properly.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly under the following
conditions:•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or
construction.•Your vehicle’s suspension has been altered,
changing the height of the vehicle.•Your vehicle has heavy load in the trunk or on the
rear seats.•A compact spare tire
* is mounted.
•Driving on snowy or wet roads.•Roadway lane markers are difficult to see due to
weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.) or road conditions.•Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.•Multiple or varied lane markings are visible on the
pavement due to road repairs or old lane markings.•Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted
as lane markers.•On non-freeway roadways and on freeways with
many curves.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the
steering to keep the vehicle between
the left and right lane lines. The
applied torque becomes stronger as the
vehicle gets closer to either of the lane
lines.
■Audible and visual alerts
Beeps and a warning display alert
you that the vehicle is drifting out of
a detected lane.
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
() If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS
alerts activate, and torque is applied to the steering.
■LKAS camera
