Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)*
The LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle may be deviating from its lane.
The system detects the white or yellow lines on the traffic lane using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and if it determines that the vehicle may be devia ting from its lane, it notifies
the driver by flashing the LDWS warning light and activating th e LDWS warning beep, and
by the multi-info rmation display (vehicles with multi-informati on display).
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white or yellow lines.
Refer to Forward Sensi ng Camera on page 4-94.

The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.
The accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly.
The turn signal lever is operated (after
the turn signal 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 turn signal lever left operating, the
LDWS warning may operate if the vehicle
is close to a white or yellow line.
▼Canceling the System
Press the LDWS switch to cancel the
LDWS. The LDWS OFF indicator light
turns on.
Vehicle lane display (vehicles with
multi-information display)
The vehicle lane lines are no longer
indicated in the multi
-information display
when the LDWS is canceled.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF with the lane-keep system
operable, the system will be operable
when the ignition is switched ON the next
time.
▼ 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 flashes. Operate the steering
wheel appropriately and steer the vehicle
to the center of the lane.
For vehicles equipped with the
multi-information display and the active
driving display, the color of the lane line
in the direction which the system
determined that the vehicle may be
deviating from its lane changes from white
to amber and the vehicle lane line flashes.
