●On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system 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 the vehicle in front of
you, which obstructs the lane camera unit

LDW system operation
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven at
speeds of approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and
above and the lane markings are clear. When the
vehicle approaches either the left or the right side
of the traveling lane, a warning chime will sound
and the Lane Departure Warning indicator light
on the instrument panel will blink to alert the
driver.
The warning function will stop when the vehicle
returns inside of the lane markers.The LDW system is not designed to warn under
the following conditions.
●When you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direction of
the signal. (The LDW system will become
operable again approximately 2 seconds af-
ter the lane change signal is turned off.)
●When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
●When the Blind Spot Intervention™ system
activates an audible warning or when the
brakes are automatically applied by the sys-
tem.
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
LDW functions will resume.

BSW/BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling much
faster than your vehicle, the indicator light may not
illuminate before the detected vehicle is beside
