to move backwards when starting from a
standstill. When this occurs, you can use
the parking brake switch in the same way
as a conventional lever type parking
brake.
Before starting on sloping roads when
towing a trailer, be sure to read the
following to prevent the vehicle from
moving backward unintentionally.
.Release the parking brake switch as
soon as the engine is delivering en-
ough torque to the wheels.

system and prevent a system malfunc-
tion, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers. .

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the I-LI
system could result in serious injury
or death.
.The I-LI system will not steer the
vehicle or prevent loss of control.
It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely, keep the
vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
. The I-LI system is primarily in-
tended for use on well-developed
freeways or highways. It may not
detect the lane markers in certain
road, weather, or driving condi-
tions.
WAC0523X
The I-LI system must be turned on with
the ProPILOT Assist switch on the steer-
ing wheel, every time the ignition is
placed in the ON position.
The I-LI system will operate when the
vehicle is driven at speeds of approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h) and above, and
only when the lane markings are clearly
visible on the road. The I-LI system warns
the driver when the vehicle has left the
center of the traveling lane with an
indicator and steering wheel vibration.
The system helps assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the
traveling lane by applying the brakes to
the left or right wheels individually (for a
short period of time). The I-LI system monitors the lane mar-
kers on the traveling lane using the
camera unit
located above the inside
mirror.
