WARNING
.Be sure the parking brake is fully
released before driving. Failure to do
so can cause brake failure and lead to
an accident.
. Do not release the parking brake
from outside the vehicle.
. Do not use the gear shift in place of
the parking brake. When parking, be
sure the parking brake is fully en-
gaged.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, do not
leave children, people who require the
assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
SPA2331
To apply: Fully depress the parking brake
pedal.
To release:
1. Firmly apply the foot brake
.
2. Depress the parking brake pedal
and
the parking brake will be released.
3. Before driving, be sure the brake warning light goes out.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the LDW
and LDP systems could result in serious
personal injury or death.
.The LDW and LDP systems 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 the vehicle at all times.
. The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a
construction zone directs traffic to
cross an existing lane marker. If this
occurs, you may need to apply cor-
rective steering to complete your lane
change.
. Because the LDP system may not
activate under the road, weather,
and lane marker conditions described
in this section, it may not activate
every time your vehicle begins to
leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
PARKING BRAKELANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW)/LANE DEPARTURE
PREVENTION (LDP) (if so equipped)

.Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
— warns the driver with a warning light and chime that the vehicle is begin-
ning to leave the driving lane.
. Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system
— warns the driver with a warning light and chime, and helps assist the driver
to return the vehicle to the center of
the traveling lane by applying the
brakes to the left or right wheels
individually (for a short period of
time).
JVS1142X
The LDW and LDP systems use a camerainstalled behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
LDW SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the LDW system.
1. Push the SETTING button
.
2. Touch [Driver Assistance].
3. Touch [Lane Assist].
4. Touch [Lane Departure Warning] to turn the system ON/OFF.
LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approxi-
mately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and the lane
markings are clear.
If the vehicle approaches either the left or
right side of the traveling lane, the LDW
indicator light (orange) on the instrument
panel will flash and a warning chime will
sound. Then, the LDP system will automa-
tically apply the brakes for a short period of
time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.
NOTE:
.The LDP system is not designed to work
when you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direc-
tion of the signal. (The LDP system will
become operable again approximately 2
seconds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. The LDP braking assist will not operate
or will stop operating and only a warn-
ing chime will sound under the following
conditions.
— When the brake pedal is depressed.
— When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
— When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while brake control assist is provided.
— When the Intelligent Cruise Control
(ICC), Distance Control Assist (DCA),
Blind Spot Intervention (BSI), Blind
Spot Warning (BSW), Predictive For-
ward Collision Warning (PFCW) or
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)
warnings sound.
— When the hazard warning flashers
are operated.
— When driving on a curve at a high
speed.
. While the LDP system is operating, you
may hear a sound of brake operation.
This is normal and indicates that the
LDP system is operating properly.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
If the BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. Then the BSI system slightly
applies the brakes to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane. The
BSI system operates regardless of turn
signal usage.
NOTE:
.Warning and system application of the
brakes will only be activated if the side
indicator light is already illuminated
when your vehicle approaches a lane
marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or
system application of the brakes will be
activated. (See “BSI driving situations”

— On roads where discontinued lanemarkers are still detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after
road repairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane markers.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit
detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a lane
camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or
if aiming is not adjusted properly.
— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.) — When a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
. Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
— During bad weather. (For exam- ple: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts. — When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the BCI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings. If
the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake for a
moment when the vehicle is moving back-
wards. After the automatic brake applica-
tion, the driver must depress the brake pedal
to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system

.In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the
opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to the BCI
system after the first vehicle passes the
sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating there
is an object behind the vehicle has a
higher priority than the BCI chime (single
beep) indicating an approaching vehicle.
If the sonar system detects an object
behind the vehicle and the BCI system
detects an approaching vehicle at the
same time, the following indications are
provided:
— The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side of the approaching vehicle flashes, and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears in the center display.
JVS0307X
If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame
will
appear in the center display and the system
will chime three times. Then, the brakes will
be applied momentarily. After the automatic
brake application, the driver must depress
the brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator
pedal, the system moves the accelerator
pedal upward before the braking is applied.
However, if you continue to accelerate, the
system will not engage the brakes.
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.
