WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Parking Pilot
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
RPa rking Pilot may steer too ear ly.
RThe vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects.
This could cause a collision.
#In these situations, do not use Parking

Yo u are warned byvibration pulses in thesteer‐
ing wheel in thefo llowing circums tances:
RAc tive Lane Keeping Assist de tects lane
markings.
RA front wheel passes over the lane markings.
Yo u will also be guided back into your lane by
means of a course-cor recting brake application
if th efo llowing conditions are me t:
RActive Lane Keeping Assist de tects lane
markings on bo thsides.

application can bring theve hicle back into the
original lane.
Ve hicles with Driving Assistance pac kage or
Driving Assistance Plus pa ckage: Ifyo u do not
re act tothewa rning, a lane-cor recting brake
application can bring theve hicle back into the
original lane. In the case of a broken lane mark‐
ing being de tected, a brake application will only
be made if a vehicle has been de tected in the
adjacent lane. Oncoming vehicles, overtaking
ve hicles and vehicles in adjacent lanes can be
de tected.
The brake application is available in the speed
ra nge between 40 mph(6 0 km/h) and 120mp h
(200 km/h).
