Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Departure
Warning System (LDWS):
ALWAYS check the road con-
ditions. The LDWS does not
make the vehicle change
lanes or stay in the lanes.
Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly if the LDWS warns
that your vehicle is leaving the
lane.
If the camera cannot detect
the lane or if the vehicle speed
does not exceed 44 mph
(70 km/h), the LDWS will not
be able to notify you if the
vehicle leaves the lane.
If your vehicle has window tint
or other types of coating and
accessory on the front wind-
shield, the LDWS may not
work properly.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not allow any water or liq-
uid to contact the LDWS cam-
era or the camera may be
damaged.
Do not remove the LDWS
parts and do not damage the
camera by a strong impact.
Do not put objects that reflect
light on the dash board.
The operation of the LDWS
can be affected by several fac-
tors (including environmental
conditions). It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to pay
attention to the roadway and
to maintain the vehicle in its
lane at all times.

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to
the driver if it detects an object
approaching from these areas.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is much faster than
the other vehicle, the system will
not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed,
the system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) If the radar detects an approach-
ing vehicle from the left and right
side as your vehicle moves rear-
ward, the system will warn you.

The radars are located inside of the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for the system to work properly.
Warning message
This warning message may appearwhen :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object
- Driving in rural areas where the BSD sensor does not detect
another vehicle for an extended
period of time
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BSD switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically. When the BSD cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BSD system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
