NOTICE
■Camera sensor
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
LKA performance may deteriorate due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
●When adjusting the rear-view mirror, make sure that it does not block the camera 
lens.

direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
