LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM

Precautions for Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system

WARNING: Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is only a warning device to inform the driver of an unintended lane departure. It 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.

- LDW system does not operate under the following conditions:
- At speeds below approx. 72 km/h (45 MPH).
- If it cannot detect lane markers.

- LDW system may not function properly under the following conditions:
- On roads where a water puddle, dirt or snow is covering the lane markers.
- On roads where the lane markers are faded or are not painted clearly.
- On roads where the lane markers are painted yellow.

- LDW system may not monitor the lane markers in certain road, weather or driving conditions:
- On roads where there are sharp curves.
- Where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- On roads where the discontinued lane markers are present, such as near tollgates, etc.
- On roads where there are not general lane markers.
- On roads where the lane width is too narrow.
- During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
- When entering or exiting a tunnel where sudden changes in brightness occur.
- When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which causes obstruction of the camera unit range.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When rain, snow or dirt adhere to the windshield in front of the camera unit.

- Excessive noise interferes with warning system chime sound and the chime may not be heard.

CAUTION: To keep the LDW system operating properly, be sure to observe the following:
- Always keep the windshield clean. The sensing capability of the camera unit depends on the condition of the windshield. See "Appearance and care" for cleaning instruction.
- Never strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
- Never touch the camera lens.
- Never attach a sticker (including transparent material) or install an accessory near the camera unit.
- Never place reflective materials, such as a white paper or mirrors on the instrument panel. Reflection of the sunlight may adversely affect the camera unit's lane marker detection capability.
