It may not properly operate with
limited alerting in the following situ-
ations:
- Not properly recognize lane
- Rough & Intentionally evasivedriving
- Intentionally frequent lane cut-in
- Severe winding road and uneven road surface condition
- Windy road
- The vehicle is controlled by other driving assist systems; e.g. Lane
Keeping Assist (LKA), etc.WARNING
• Driver Attention Warning is
not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices. It is the respon-

drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring. Pay

• 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).
