PRECAUTIONS FOR DISTANCE CONTROL ASSIST (DCA) SYSTEM
 If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle deceler
ates to a standstill within the limitations of the sys-
tem. The system will cancel once it judges that the vehi cle has come to a standstill with a warning chime. To
prevent the vehicle from moving, t he driver must depress the brake pedal.
 The DCA system will not apply brake control while the driver is depressing the accelerator pedal.
 This system is only an aid to assist the driver and is not a collision warning or avoidance device. It is the
driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safe ly and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
 This system will not adapt automatically to road condi tions. Do not use the system on roads with sharp
curves, or on icy roads, in heavy rain or in fog.
 The distance sensor will not detect under most conditions.
- Stationary and slow moving vehicles
- Pedestrians or objects in the roadway
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
- Motorcycles traveling offset in the travel lane
 As there is a performance limit to the distance contro l function, never rely solely on the DCA system. This
system does not correct careless, inat tentive or absent-minded driving, or overcome poor visibility in rain,
fog, or other bad weather. Decelerate the vehi cle speed by depressing the brake pedal, depending on the
distance to the vehicle ahead and the surrounding circumstances in order to maintain a safe distance
between vehicles.
 The system may not detect the vehicle in front of own v ehicle in certain road or weather conditions. To avoid
accidents, never use the DCA system under the following conditions.
- On roads with sharp curves
- On slippery road surfaces such as on ice or snow, etc.
- On off-road surfaces such as on sand or rock, etc.
- During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.)
- When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle
- When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the system sensor
- On steep downhill roads (frequent braking may result in overheating the brakes)
- On repeated uphill and downhill roads
- When towing a trailer or other vehicle
 In some road or traffic conditions, a vehicle or objec t can unexpectedly come into the sensor detection zone
and cause automatic braking. Driver may need to control the distance from other vehicles using the acceler-
ator pedal. Always stay alert and avoid using the DCA system when it is not recommended in this section.
 The following are some conditions in which the sensor cannot detect the signals.
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is positioned high on the vehicle (trailer, etc.)
- When the reflector on the vehicle ahead is missing, damaged or covered
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is covered with dirt, snow and road spray
- When the snow or road spray from traveling vehicles reduces the sensor's visibility
- When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) fr om vehicles reduces the sensor's visibility
- When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of own vehicle
 The DCA system is designed to autom atically check the sensor's operation. When the sensor is covered
with dirt or is obstructed, the system will automatically be canceled. If the sensor is covered with ice, a trans-
parent or translucent vinyl bag, etc., the DCA syste m may not detect them. In these instances, the DCA sys-
tem may not be able to decelerate the vehicle properly. Be sure to check and clean the sensor regularly.
 The DCA system is designed to help assist the driver to maintain a following distance from the vehicle
ahead. The system will decelerate as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decel-
erates to standstill. However, the DCA system can only apply up to 25% of the vehicles total braking power.
If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the dis-
tance between vehicles may become closer because t he DCA system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly
enough. If this occurs, the DCA system will sound a warn ing chime and blink the system display to notify the
driver to take necessary action.
 The DCA system does not control vehicle speed or warn when driver approach stationary and slow moving
vehicles. Driver must pay attention to vehicle operat ion to maintain proper distance from vehicles ahead.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
 FCW system is intended to warn the driver before a collis ion but will not avoid a collision. It is the drive's
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
 As there is a performance limit, the FCW system ma y not provide a warning in certain conditions.
 The FCW system will not detect the following objects.
- Pedestrians, animals, or obstacles in the roadway.
- Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
 FCW system will not detect under the following conditions.
- When the sensor gets dirty, it is impossibl e to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e. sunlight)
 The sensor generally detects signals returned from t he reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, the FCW
system may not warn properly under the following conditions:
- When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead are positioned high or close to each other (including a small vehicle such as motorcycles).
- When the sensor gets dirty or it is impossible to detect the distance to the vehicle ahead.
- When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead is missing, damaged or covered.
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is covered with dirt, snow or road spray.
- When visibility is low (such as rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles are splashed.
- When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) from vehicles reduces the visibility of the sensor.
- When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of own vehicle.
- When abruptly accelerating or decelerating.
- On steep downhill or roads with sharp curves.
- When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead.
i.e.) very close to other vehicle, signboard, etc.
- When own vehicle are towing a trailer.
 Depending on certain road conditions (curved, beginning of a curve), vehicle conditions (steering position,
vehicle position), or preceding vehicle's conditions (pos ition in lane, etc.), the FCW system may not function
properly. The FCW system may detect highly reflective obj ects such as reflectors, signs, white markers, and
other stationary objects on the road or near the traveling lane, and provide unnecessary warning.
 The FCW system may not function in offset conditions.
 The FCW system may not function when the dist ance to the vehicle ahead is extremely close.
 The FCW system is designed to automat ically check the sensor's functionality. If the sensor is covered with
ice, a transparent or translucent pl astic bag, etc., the system may not detect them. In these instances the
FCW system may not be able to warn properly. Be sure to check and clean the sensor regularly.
 Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
 A sudden appearance of the vehicle in front (i.e.: w hen a vehicle abruptly cuts in) may not be detected and
the system may not warn soon enough.
 The FCW system will be canceled automatically with a chime sound and the IBA OFF indicator light will illu-
minate under the following conditions:
- When the sensor window is dirty
- When the FCW system malfunctions

SYSTEM
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
 Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system provides a lane departure warning and brake control assistance
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or more.
 When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the traveling lane, a warning sounds and the
lane departure warning lamp (yellow) on the combinati on meter blinks to alert the driver. Then, the LDP sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes for a short period of ti me to help assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane.
 Warning and brake control are not performed during turn signal operation (lane change side).
 The warning and assist functions stop when the vehicl e returns to a position inside of the lane marker.
EXAMPLE
When the vehicle approaches the right lane marker, the driv er is alerted by the buzzer and the blinking of lane
departure warning lamp (yellow). Simultaneously, the left brake is controlled independently to generate force
toward the direction to recover the vehicle from the lane departure.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
 When the system is turned ON by dynamic driver a ssistance switch, ADAS control unit transmits LDP ON
indicator signal to combination meter via CAN communication.
 Lane camera unit monitors lane markers of the traveling lane. It transmits the detected lane condition signal to ADAS control unit via ITS communication.
 When judging from a lane marker detection signal that the vehicle is approaching the lane marker, ADAS
control unit controls the following items.
- Activates warning buzzer.
- Transmits a lane departure warning lamp signal to combination meter via CAN communication.
- Calculates necessary yaw moment to transmit a target yaw moment signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
 When receiving the target yaw moment signal, ABS act uator and electric unit (control unit) controls brake
pressure of four wheels, respectively.
 When receiving the signal from ADAS control unit, combination meter turns ON/OFF the lane departure warning lamp (yellow) and the LDP ON indicator lamp (green).
OPERATING CONDITION

LANE CAMERA UNIT HANDLING
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/LDP systems and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
 Always keep the windshield clean.
 Do not attach a sticker (including transparent materi al) or install an accessory near the lane camera unit.
 Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the lane camera unit capability of detecting the lane markers.
 Do not strike or damage the areas around the lane camera unit.
 Do not touch the camera lens.
 Do not remove the screw located on the lane camera unit.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
 LDW system is only a warning device to inform the dr iver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not
steer the vehicle or prevent loss of cont rol. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
 LDW system will not operate at speeds below approximat ely 70 km/h (45 MPH) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
 Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
 LDW system may not function properly under the following conditions:
- On roads where there are multiple parallel lane marker s; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt or snow,
etc.
- On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- On roads where there are sharply c ontrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW syst em could detect these items as lane markers.)
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When traveling close to other vehicle in front of the vehicle, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection
range.
- When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the wi ndshield in front of the lane camera unit.
- When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted properly.
- When strong light enters the lane camera uni t. (For example, the light directly shines on the front of the vehi-
cle at sunrise or sunset.)
- When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exampl e, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or
under a bridge.)
LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
 LDP system will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of vehicle at all times.
 LDP system is primarily intended for use on well-dev eloped freeways or highways. It may not detect the lane
markers in certain roads, weather or driving conditions.
 Using the LDP system under some conditions of road, lane marker or weather, or when driver change lanes
without using the turn signal could lead to an unexpect ed system operation. In such conditions, driver needs
to correct the vehicle's direction with dr iver's steering operation to avoid accidents.
 When the LDP system is operating, avoid excessive or sudden steering maneuvers. Otherwise, driver could
lose control of the vehicle.
 The LDP system will not operate at speeds below approxim ately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
 The LDP system may not function properly under the following conditions, and do not use the LDP system:
- During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.).
- When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
- When driving off-road such as on sand or rock, etc.
- When driving on winding or uneven roads.
- When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
- When driving in a makeshift lane.
- When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.

HANDLING PRECAUTION
Precautions for Blind Spot WarningINFOID:0000000006223856
SIDE RADAR HANDLING
 Side radar for BSW system is located inside the rear bumper.
 Always keep the rear bumper near the side radar clean.
 Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material), install an accessory or paintwork near the side radar.
 Do not strike or damage the areas around the side radar.
 Do not strike, damage, and scratch the side radar, especially the vent seal (gray circular) area, under repair.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BLIND SPOT WARNING
 The BSW system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and are not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When changing lanes, always us e the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction driver will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW system.
 The BSW system may not provide a warning for v ehicles that pass through the detection zone quickly.
 Do not use the BSW system when towing a trai ler because the system may not function properly.
 Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
 The side radar may not be able to detect and activate BSW when certain objects are present such as:
- Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
- Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
- Oncoming vehicles.
- Vehicles remaining in the detection z one when driver accelerate from a stop.
- A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as vehicle.
- A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
- A vehicle which vehicle overtakes rapidly.
 Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce t he ability of the side radar to detect other vehicles.
 The side radar detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the
side radar may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the side radar may
detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
 The side radar are designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be det ected. This is a normal operating condition.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document t he facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any of
customer's comments; refer to DLK-213, "
Diagnostic Worksheet". This information is necessary to duplicate
the conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
 The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).
 If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, perform a diagnosis and repair the noise that the customer is
concerned about. This can be accomplished by performing a cruise test on the vehicle with the customer.
 After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.
 Squeak – (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces
= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping
 Creak – (Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow mo vement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-
dent on materials/often brought on by activity.
 Rattle – (Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contac t/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.
 Knock – (Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/someti mes repeating/often brought on by driver action.
 Tick – (Like a clock second hand) Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of li ght materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.
 Thump – (Heavy, muffled knock noise) Thump characteristics include softer k nock/dead sound often brought on by activity.
 Buzz – (Like a bumblebee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.
 Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending up on the person. A noise that a technician may judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.
 Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperat ure, may have a great effect on noise level.
DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND TEST DRIVE
If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or lo cation of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when the repair is reconfirmed.
