WARNING
.
The LDP system 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 vehicle at all

could lead to an unexpected system
operation. In such conditions, you need
to correct the vehicle ’s direction with
your steering operation to avoid acci-
dents.
