[A] : Blind spot area
[B] : Closing at high speed
The Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area. The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors.(1) BCW : Blind spot area
The BCW range varies relative to
vehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
(2) BCW : Closing at high speed
The BCW-Closing at high speed
feature will alert you when a vehi-cle is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signalwhen the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert. Distance
from the approaching vehicle can
be seen differently according to
the relative speed. (3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors
approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse below
about 10 km/h (6 mph). If oncom-
ing cross traffic is detected a
warning chime will sound. Distance from the approaching
vehicle can be seen differently
according to the relative speed.

focus only on the warninglight and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA). Do not
solely rely on the system but
check your surrounding
before changing lanes or
backing the vehicle up.

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate the LKA sys- tem:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKA system but-
ton located on the instrument panel
on the left hand side of the steering
wheel. (Right hand side of the steer-
ing wheel for RHD vehicles.)
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white. This indi-cates the LKA system is in the
READY but NOT ENABLED state.
The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LKA system
because of excessive audiosound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-tion if the sunlight is reflected.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep handson steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will turn off automatically.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speedlimit when using the system.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.
When you tow a trailer, make
sure that you turn off the LKAsystem.

Driving on a steep grade, over ahill, or when driving on a curved road.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is highdue to direct sunlight, etc.
When front visibility is poor
The windshield or the LKAS cam- era lens is blocked with dirt or
debris.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed.
Placing objects on the dashboard, etc.
The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system orchange the LKA system mode
between Standard LKA and Active
LKA from the LCD display. Go to the"User Settings Driver Assistance
Lane Keeping Assist Lane
Departure Warning/Standard
LKA/Active LKA". The system is automatically set to Standard LKA if a function is notselected.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW system alerts the driver with a
visual warning and a warning alarm
when the system detects the vehicle
departing the lane. The steeringwheel will not be controlled.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to help keep the vehicle within
the lanes. It rarely controls the steer-
ing wheel, when the vehicle drives
well inside the lanes. However, it
starts to control the steering wheel,
when the vehicle is about to deviate
out of the lanes.
Active LKA
The Active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.
