 When the System Operates

1.  The system goes on operation standby 

when the LDWS switch is pressed and 

the LDWS OFF indicator light in the 

instrument cluster turns off.

2.  Drive the vehicle in the center of the 

driving lane while the LDWS OFF 

indicator light is turned off. The system 

becomes operational when all of the 

following conditions are met.



 The vehicle is driven in the center 

of the driving lane with the white or 

yellow lines on the left and right sides, 

or on either side.



 The vehicle speed is 65 km/h (41 mph) 

or faster.



 The vehicle is driven on a straight road 

or road with gentle curves.

  The LDWS does not operate in the 

following cases:



 The system cannot detect white or 

yellow lines.



 The vehicle speed is less than 60 km/h 

(37 mph).



 The vehicle is making a sharp turn.



 The vehicle is making a curve at an 

inadequate speed.

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 Personalization Features on 

page 9-9.

Auto cancel

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 windshield around the camera is 

foggy.



 The windshield around the camera is 

blocked by an obstruction, causing poor 

forward visibility.

The LDWS is enabled automatically when 

the operation conditions are met, and the 

LDWS warning light turns off.
