Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
It may suggest a break according to
the driver’s driving pattern or
habits even if the driver doesn’t feel
fatigued.
✽ ✽NOTICE
The Driver Attention Warning sys-
tem utilizes the camera sensor on the
front windshield for its operation.
To keep the camera sensor in the
best condition, you should observe
the followings:
• Do not place any reflective objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection
may prevent the Driver Attention
Warning (DAW) system from
functioning properly.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor dry.
• Do not disassemble the camera assembly, or apply any impact on
the camera assembly.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent the
occupants from hearing the Driver
Attention Warning system warn-
ing sounds.WARNING
The Driver Attention Warning
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.
The driver, who feels fatigued, should take a break, even
though there is no break sug-
gestion by the Driver
Attention Warning system.
CAUTION
The Driver Attention Warningsystem may not provide alertsin the following situations:
The lane detection perform- ance is limited. (For moreinformation, refer to “LaneKeeping Assist (LKA) system”in this chapter.)
The vehicle is erratically driv- en or is abruptly turned forobstacle avoidance (e.g. con-struction area, other vehicles,fallen objects, bumpy road).
Forward drivability of the vehi- cle is severely undermined(possibly due to wide varia-tion in tire pressures, uneventire wear-out, toe-in/toe-outalignment).
