256 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA may
become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
. Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.
A system unavailable message may
display if the camera is blocked. The
LKA system does not need service.
A camera blocked message may
display if the camera is blocked. Some
driver assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not work at
all. An LKA or LDW unavailable
message may display if the systems
are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked camera. The LKA system does not
need service. Clean the outside of the
windshield behind the rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks, shadows,
cracks in the road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.
Surround Vision Recorder
If equipped, this system records the
360° camera views to an SD card. Only
images are recorded, no sound. An SD

Class 10 and over.
Insert an SD card into the card reader
in the trunk. Disable recording from
the playback screen before removing
the SD card from the reader. Do not
remove the card while recording is
enabled. This could corrupt the video
file and/or the SD card.
Other files should not be stored on
the same SD card as the surround
vision recorder files. Storing other files
on the same card may increase
recording start up and playback time
or result in a loss of data.
