LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (IF EQUIPPED)

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 (37 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 avoid damaging the sensor by
avoiding a strong impacts.
Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
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.
WARNING - 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

cle. The LDWS does not provide
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.
