The lane departure warning will not operate fo r the side on which lane markers could not
be recognized.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly

not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or
before a ticket checkpoint
