The functions of the LDWS have limitations:

Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and if you rely too much on the LDWS it
could lead to an accident. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other
maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.

CAUTION

Do not modify the suspension. If the vehicle height or the damping force of the suspensions is
changed, the LDWS may not operate correctly.

NOTE

If your vehicle deviates from its traffic lane, the LDWS operates (warning sound and
indicator light). Steer the vehicle adequately to drive the vehicle to the center of the lane.

When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the LDWS warning is
automatically canceled. The LDWS warning becomes operable when the turn signal lever
is returned and the system detects the white or yellow lines.

If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white or yellow line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LDWS warning is automatically canceled.

The LDWS may not operate during the period immediately after the vehicle has deviated
from its lane and the LDWS has operated, or the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly
within a short period of time.

The LDWS does not operate if it does not detect the white or yellow lines of the traffic
lane.

Under the following conditions, the LDWS may not be able to detect white or yellow lines
correctly and the LDWS may not operate correctly.

If an object placed on the dashboard is reflected in the windshield and picked up by the
camera.

Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment the vehicle is inclined.

The tire pressures are not adjusted to the specified pressure.

When the vehicle is driven on the entry and exit to or from the rest area or tollgate of a
highway.

The white or yellow lines are less visible because of dirt or paint flaking.

The vehicle ahead is running near a white or yellow line and the line is less visible.

A white or yellow line is less visible because of bad weather (rain, fog, or snow).

The vehicle is driven on a temporary lane or section with a closed lane due to
construction.
