Adjust the rearview mirror so that the
center view through the rear window is

Make this adjustment before you start
driving and while the day/night lever is in
the day position.

reduce glare from the headlights of vehi-
cles behind you during night driving.

clarity in the night position. Electric chromic mirror (ECM)
(if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automatical-
ly controls the glare from the headlights
of the car behind you in nighttime or low
light driving conditions. The sensor
mounted in the mirror senses the light
level around the vehicle, and automati-
cally controls the headlight glare from
vehicles behind you.
When the engine is running, the glare is
automatically controlled by the sensor
mounted in the rearview mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted into R
(Reverse), the mirror will automatically
go to the brightest setting in order to
improve the drivers view behind the vehi-
cle.

The Lane Keeping Assist System detects
lane markers on the road, and assists the
driver’s steering to help keep the vehicle
between lanes. When the system detects
the vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts
the driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-steer-
ing torque, trying to prevent the vehicle
from moving out of its lane.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
OVF051055
OVF051071
WARNING
The steering wheel is not contin-
uously controlled so if the vehicle
speed is very fast when leaving a
lane the vehicle may not be con-
trolled by the system.
It is the responsibility of the driv- er to drive safely.
Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
LKAS prevents the driver from moving out of the lane uninten-
tionally by assisting the driver's
steering. However, the driver
should not solely rely on the sys-
tem but always pay attention on
the steering wheel to stay in the
lane.
Always check the road condition and surroundings and be cau-
tious when the system cancels,
does not operate or malfunc-
tions.
Do not place any accessories, stickers or tint the windshield
near the rearview mirror.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The system detects lane markersand controls the steering wheel
by a camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect, the
system may not work properly.
Please refer to "Driver's Attention".
Do not remove any LKAS parts or apply impact.
Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. The sys-
tem may malfunction if the sun-
light is reflected.
Loud audio sounds may interfere with the passenger from hearing
warning chimes.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the LKAS
system is activated. If you contin-
ue to drive with your hands off
the steering wheel after the
"Hand on" warning, the system
will turn off automatically.
If you drive very fast, the vehicle may stray out of the lane. Always
be cautious when using the sys-
tem.
