Driving your vehicle
This system detects the lane with a
sensor at the front windshield and
notifies you if it detects that your
vehicle leaves the lane. The LDWS does not make the
vehicle change lanes. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to always check
the road conditions.
If the sensor cannot detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 60 km/h (38 mph), the
LDWS will not be able to notify you
if the vehicle leaves the lane. If your vehicle has window tint or
other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.
Prevent damage to the LDWS sen- sor from water or any liquid.
Do not remove the LDWS parts and do not damage the sensor by
a strong impact.
Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
Always check the road conditions because you may not hear the
warning chime because of audio
and external conditions.
The operation of the LDWS can be affected by several factors (includ-
ing environmental conditions). It is
the responsibility of the driver to
pay attention to the roadway and to
maintain the vehicle in it's lane at
all times.

LDWS Alert
The LDWS is only intended to
provide you with information
regarding your vehicle's posi-
tion on the roadway. Upon
receiving an LDWS alert, you

any steering inputs into the
vehicle for you. It can be dan-
gerous to make a large sudden
steering input in response to an
alert, since that could result in
loss of control.

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to
the driver if it detects an object
approaching from these areas.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is about 10 km/h (6
mph) faster than the other vehicle,
the system will not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist) When a vehicle approaches you at
high speed, the system will warn
you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) When your vehicle moves rear-
ward, and the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle in the left or
right side, the system will warn
you.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD)(IF EQUIPPED)
OVI053129L
BSD Limitations
The Blind Spot DetectionSystem (BSD) is a supplemen-
tal system. Do not solely rely
on the system but always pay
attention to drive safely.
The Blind Spot Detection System may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle
and is not a substitute for
proper and safe lane changing
procedures. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes.
