When driving on some roads, such as wind-
ing, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or roads
which are under construction or on a slope,
the sensor may detect vehicles in a different
lane, or may temporarily not detect a vehicle
traveling ahead. This may cause the system
to work inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be
affected by vehicle operation (steering man-
euver or traveling position in the lane, etc.) or
vehicle condition.If this occurs, the system
may warn you by blinking the system
indicator and sounding the chime unexpect-
edly. You will have to manually control the
proper distance away from the vehicle
traveling ahead.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the DAA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The DAA system is only a warning to
inform the driver of a potential lack
of driver attention or drowsiness. It
will not steer the vehicle or prevent
loss of control.
. The DAA system does not detect and
provide an alert of the driver’s lack of
attention or fatigue in every situa-
tion.
. It is the driver’s responsibility to:
— Stay alert.
— Drive safely.
— Keep the vehicle in the traveling lane.
— Be in control of the vehicle at all times.
— Avoid driving when tired.
— Avoid distractions (texting, etc).
The DAA system helps alert the driver if the
system detects a lack of attention or driving fatigue.
The system monitors driving style and
steering behavior over a period of time,
and it detects changes from the normal
pattern. If the system detects that driver
attention is decreasing over a period of time,
the system uses audible and visual warnings
to suggest that the driver take a break.
