LANE KEEPING SYSTEM WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The

not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,

a false or missed warning. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:

next to infrastructure or near parked
cars. A false alert may also occur while
making a 90-degree turn or driving
through a roundabout.

greater than
20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is
passing at high speed.
• Box trailers that have a width greater
than
8.2 ft (2.5 m) may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with
a width greater than 8.2 ft (2.5 m) may
cause delayed alerts when a vehicle
traveling the same speed as your
vehicle merges lanes.
