Automatic deactivation
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the
LDP system are not designed to work under
the following conditions:
.When you operate the lane change
signal and change the traveling lanes
in the direction of the signal. (The LDP
system will be deactivated for approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the lane change
signal is turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h).
. When the BSI system activates an
audible warning or brake control.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the warning and assist functions
will resume.
Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following
conditions (warning is still functional):
. When the brake pedal is depressed.
. When the steering wheel is turned as
far as necessary for the vehicle to
change lanes.
Starting and driving5-29

5-30Starting and driving
.When the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed while the brake control assist
is provided.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs.
. When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
. When driving on a curve at high speed.
After the above conditions have finished
and the necessary operating conditions are
satisfied, the LDP brake control assist
function will resume.
Condition C:
Under the following conditions, a beep will
sound and the LDP system will be canceled
automatically. The LDP ON indicator light
will blink in green, and the LDP system
cannot be activated:
. When the VDC system (except TCS
function) or ABS operates.
. When the VDC system is turned off.
. When the drive mode select switch is
turned to the SNOW mode.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on. Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 1048F (408C)) and then the
LDP system is turned on, the LDP system
may be deactivated automatically. The lane
departure warning light (orange) will blink.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on.

LANE CAMERA UNIT MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unit*1for the LDW/LDP
system is located above the inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW/
LDP systems and prevent a system mal-
function, be sure to observe the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the cam-

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated. This
detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detects vehicles in the detection
zone, the BSW/BSI indicator light illumi-
nates. If the driver then activates the turn
signal, a chime will sound twice and the
BSW/BSI indicator light will flash. The BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system
detects a vehicle in the detection zone and
your vehicle is approaching the lane
marker, the BSI system provides an audi-
ble warning (three times), flashes the
BSW/BSI indicator light and slightly ap-
plies the brakes for a short period of time
on one side to help return the vehicle back
to the traveling lane. The BSI system
provides an audible warning and turns on
or flashes the BSW/BSI indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.WARNING
.
The BSW and BSI systems are not a
replacement for proper driving procedure
and are not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direc-
tion you will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on the
BSW or BSI system.
. Using the BSI system under some road,
lane marker or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation. Al-
ways rely on your own steering and braking operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and BSI systems may not
provide a warning or brake control for
vehicles that pass through the detection
zone quickly.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located inside the outside mirrors
illuminates. If your vehicle is approaching
a lane marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle for a
short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.
Starting and driving5-35

5-36Starting and driving
NOTE:
.Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the BSW/BSI indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehi-
cle approaches a lane marker. If
another vehicle comes into the detec-
tion zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or
brake control will be activated. (See
“BSW/BSI driving situations” later in
this section.)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering
wheel is pushed when the “Blind Spot
Intervention” is enabled in the settings
menu on the center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI system is activated even if the BSW
system is off.

WARNING
.Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.
—During bad weather (e.g. rain, fog,
snow, wind, etc.)
—When driving on slippery roads,such as on ice or snow, etc.
—When driving on winding or uneven roads.
—When there is a lane closure due toroad repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift lane.
—When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
—When driving with a tire that is notwithin normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
—When the vehicle is equipped withnon-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
.The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI/BSW when certain objects are present such as:
—
Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
— Several types of vehicles such as
motorcycles
— Oncoming vehicles
— Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
later in this section)
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
later in this section)
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
later in this section)
— A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
(See “BSW/BSI driving situations”
later in this section)
. Severe weather or road spray condi-
tions may reduce the ability of the
radar to detect other vehicles.
. The radar sensors detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane, the

If the driver activates the turn signal, then
the BSW/BSI indicator light flashes and a
chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the BSW/BSI indicator light will flash but
no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.

If the BSI system is on and your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the BSW/BSI
indicator light flashes and a chime will
sound three times. Then the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on one side to
help return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane.

Overtaking other vehicles
The BSW/BSI indicator light illuminates if
you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle
stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.

If the driver activates the turn signal while
another vehicle is in the detection zone,
then the BSW/BSI indicator light flashes

help return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane.
