LDP SYSTEM OPERATION (if so
equipped)
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 on the vehicle information display
will flash and a warning chime will sound.
Then, the LDP system will automatically
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.

LDW/LDP (if so equipped) SYS-
TEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the LDW and LDP (if so equipped)
systems. Failure to operate the vehicle in
accordance with these system limita-
tions could result in serious injury or
death.
. The system will not operate at speeds
below 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if it
cannot detect lane markers.
. The LDP system (if so equipped) is
primarily intended for use on well-
developed freeways or highways. It
may not detect the lane markers in
certain roads, weather or driving
conditions.
. Do not use the LDP system (if so
equipped) under the following condi-
tions as it may not function properly:
— During bad weather (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 without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-stan-
dard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
— When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the LDW and LDP (if so
equipped) systems may not operate
properly.
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers, lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly, yellow painted
lane markers, non-standard lane
markers, or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.

— On roads where the discontinuedlane markers 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. (The LDW and LDP
(if so equipped) systems could
detect these items as lane mar-
kers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— 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 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 unit. (For example, the
light directly shines on the front
of the vehicle at sunrise or sun-
set.)
— When a sudden change in bright- ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
. Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSW system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
. The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when cer-
tain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. — A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may oc-
casionally be detected. This is a
normal operation condition.
. The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/snow build-up on the vehicle
— Dirt build-up on the vehicle

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker,
traffic or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation.
Always rely on your own operation to
avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes and helps assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.

The DCA system is intended to assist the
driver in keeping a following distance from
the vehicle ahead traveling in the same lane
and direction.
If the radar sensor
detects a slower
moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce
the vehicle speed to help assist the driver to
maintain a following distance.
The system automatically controls the throt-
tle and applies the brakes (up to approxi-
mately 40% of vehicle braking power) if
necessary.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 650 ft (200 m) ahead.

DCA SYSTEM OPERATION
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the DCA
system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.When the vehicle ahead detection
indicator is not illuminated, system
will not control the vehicle or warn
the driver.
. Never place your foot under the
brake pedal. Your foot may be caught
when the system controls the brake.
. Depending on the position of the
accelerator pedal, the system may
not be able to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal appro-
priately.
The DCA system brakes and moves the
accelerator pedal upward according to the
distance from and the relative speed of the
vehicle ahead to help assist the driver in
maintaining a following distance. The sys-
tem will decelerate as necessary and if the
vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle
decelerates to a standstill. However, the
DCA system can only apply up to approxi- mately 40% of the vehicle’s total braking
power. If a vehicle moves into the traveling
lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead
rapidly decelerates, the distance between
vehicles may become closer because the
DCA system cannot decelerate the vehicle
quickly enough. If this occurs, the DCA
system will sound a warning chime and blink
the system display to notify the driver to
take necessary action.
See “Approach warning” (P.5-88).
