LDA (Lane Departure Al ert with steering
control)
When driving on highways and freeways with white (yellow) lines, this
function alerts the driver when th e vehicle might depart from its lane
and provides assistance by operatin g the steering wheel to keep the
vehicle in its lane.
The LDA system recognizes visi-
ble white (yellow) lines with the
camera sensor on the upper por-
tion of the front windshield.
◆Lane departure alert function
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane, a warning is dis-
played on the multi-information
display and the warning buzzer
sounds to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer
sounds, check the surrounding
road situation and carefully
operate the steering wheel to
move the vehicle back to the
center within the white (yellow)
lines.

canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, operation
of the function is automatically restored. (→P. 231)
■ Steering control function
Depending on the vehicle speed, lane departure situation, road conditions,
etc., the operation of the functions may not be recognized or the function may
not operate at all.
■ Lane departure alert function
The warning buzzer may be difficult to hear due to external noise, audio play-
back, etc.
■ Hands off steering wheel alert
When the system determines that the driver has removed their hands from
the steering wheel while the steering control function is operating, a warning
message is displayed on the multi-information display and the buzzer
sounds.
■ White (yellow) lines are only on one side of road
The LDA system will not operate for the side on which white (yellow) lines
could not be recognized.
■ Conditions in which functions may not operate properly
In the following situations, the camera sensor may not detect white (yellow)
lines and various functions may not operate normally.

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
up to approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current
vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit-
able following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long
downhill slopes.
