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 monitors the rear area of the vehi-
cle and provides information to the
driver. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The detection range varies in
accordance with a driving speed.
When your vehicle is faster than
the other vehicles, the system will
not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) When a vehicle approaches you
at a high speed, the system will
warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) When your vehicle moves back-
wards, and when the sensor
detects the approaching vehicle
in the left and right side, the sys-
tem will warn you.
