NOTICE
■Camera sensor
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
LDA performance may deteriorate due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to stro ng impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.
●Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor or remove it. The
direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may cause the upper
part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on the images. In
such a case, use the windshield defogger to provide warm, dry air to the wind-
shield.
●Do not place anything on the dashboard. 
The camera sensor may recognize the image reflected on the windshield as lane
markings by mistake.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
●Do not attach stickers or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
●Adjust the inside rear view mirror correctly so that it does not interfere with the
camera sensor.
Observe the following to ensure that the
LDA system functions correctly.
