WARNING
Do not use the LDWS under the following conditions:
The system may not operate adequately according to the actual driving conditions,
resulting in an accident.
Driving on roads with tight curves.
Driving under bad weather conditions (rain, fog, and snow).
The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the
LDWS it could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes
and other manoeuvres. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is
travelling and the vehicle’s surroundings.
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the
suspensions is changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.
NOTE
If your vehicle deviates from its traffi c lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the centre of the
lane.
When the direction indicator lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning
is automatically cancelled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the direction
indicator lever is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.
If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically cancelled.
The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has
deviated from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its
lane repeatedly within a short period of time.
The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffi c
lane.

NOTE
The LDWS does not operate until the
system detects a white or yellow line
on either the left or right.
When the system detects a white
or yellow line on one side only, the
system will activate the warning only
when the vehicle deviates on the side
where the white or yellow line is
being detected.
The distance and warning sensitivity
(likelihood of a warning) which
the system uses to determine the
possibility of a lane departure can be
changed.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-13 .

In the following cases, the LDWS cancels
automatically and the LDWS warning
light in the instrument cluster turns on.
The temperature inside the camera is
high or low.
The windscreen around the camera is
foggy.
The windscreen around the camera is
blocked by an obstruction, causing poor
forward visibility.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, the lane (border lines) is
indicated in the display. The LDWS is
enabled automatically when the operation
conditions are met, and the LDWS
warning light turns off.
Auto cancel warning
When the following operations are
performed, the LDWS determines that
the driver intends to make a lane change
and the LDWS warning is cancelled
automatically. The LDWS is enabled
automatically after the driver performs the
operation.
The steering wheel is operated abruptly.
The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.
The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
The direction indicator lever is operated
(after the direction indicator lever is
returned, the LDWS may not operate for
about 3 seconds which is the period of
time required to make a lane correction).
NOTE
After about 60 seconds have elapsed
with the direction indicator lever left
operating, the LDWS warning may
operate if the vehicle is close to a white
or yellow line.
Cancelling The System
Press the LDWS switch to cancel the
LDWS. The LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
For vehicles with the active driving
display, the driving lane indication in the

LDWS Warning
If the system determines that there is the
possibility of a lane departure, the LDWS
warning beep activates and the LDWS
warning light fl ashes. Operate the steering
wheel appropriately and steer the vehicle
to the centre of the lane.
For vehicles equipped with the active
driving display, if there is the possibility of
a lane departure, the system indicates the
direction it determines that the vehicle is
deviating in the active driving display.
Indication on display
NOTE
If the LDWS warning sound is set to
rumble, the sound will be heard from
the vehicle speaker on the side which
the system determined the vehicle
may be deviating from its lane.
It may be diffi cult to hear the LDWS
warning beep depending on the
surrounding conditions such as
outside noise.
The type of warning sound and the
volume can be changed.

Adjustable Speed Limiter *
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a
vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set
speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).
The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope,
however, the system notifi es the driver by fl ashing the display and operating a warning
sound.
WARNING
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter
function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator
pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display and the speed limiter switch on
the steering wheel.
