When driving
GX460_U.S.A. (OM60E69U)
■When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available for a while after driving has started. In such
cases, turn the LDA system off and turn it on again after normal temperature
returns. When the temperature in the cab in decreases and the temperature around
the camera sensor becomes suitable for it s operation, the functions will begin to
operate.
■Warning lights and messages for LDA
Warning lights and messages ar e used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. ( P. 6 9 8 )
CAUTION
■Before using the LDA system
This system provides information to the driver in accordance with the road geome-
try and the driving conditions. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, correct
the driving path while driving appropriately and be responsible for your own safety.
This system operates by using the camera to identify lane markers when the LDA
switch is on and the vehicle is being driven at the system operating speed. 
Operation may be temporarily suspended if the camera cannot recognize the lane
markers or if the system cannot operate due to the road environment or driving
conditions. Also, since an alarm may sound unnecessarily if the lane markers cannot
be correctly identified, make sure to drive responsibly even while the system is
operating.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the driver will be alerted by a buzzer and a dis-
play, and LDA operation will be temporarily suspended. However, this does not
present a problem to normal driving.
If the alert is displayed even after restarti ng the engine, have your vehicle inspected
by your Lexus dealer.
