Warning systems switch
LDW system operation
The LDW system provides a lane departure
warning function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds of approximately 45 MPH (70
km/h) and above. When the vehicle
approaches either the left or the right side
of the traveling lane, a warning chime will
sound and the lane departure warning light
(orange) on the instrument panel will blink
to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the
vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.
When you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direction
of the signal, the LDW system temporarily
suspends operation. It will become oper-
able again approximately 2 seconds after
the lane change signal is turned off.
When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h), the LDW
system will not provide a warning.
The LDW system has an automatic setting
mode and a manual setting mode. The
setting mode can be changed. In the
automatic setting mode, the LDW system
is automatically turned on when the igni-
tion switch is pushed to the ON position.
When the LDW system is on, the warning

under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 1048 F (408C) and then
started, the LDW system may be deacti-
vated automatically. The lane departure
warning light (orange) on the switch will flash.
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the LDW system will resume operating
automatically and the warning systems
ON indicator will stop flashing.
LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION
(LDP) SYSTEM
Precautions on LDP system
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
times.
. The LDP system is primarily intended for
use on well-developed freeways or high-
ways. It may not detect the lane markers
in certain roads, weather or driving
conditions.
. Using the LDP system under some
conditions of road, lane marker or
weather, or when you change lanes
without using the lane change signal
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.
. When the LDP system is operating, avoid
excessive or sudden steering maneu-
vers. Otherwise, you could lose control
of the vehicle.
. The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 45 MPH
(70 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane
markers.
. The LDP system may not function
properly under the following conditions,
and do not use the LDP system:
—During bad weather (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 to
road repairs.
—When driving in a makeshift lane.
—When driving on roads where thelane width is too narrow.

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).
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.
. 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 SNOW mode switch is turned
on.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system by pushing the LDP
switch. Push the LDP switch again to turn
the LDP system back on. Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:

The BSW system uses radar sensors*A
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane.
SSD1030
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 detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the BSW indicator light illuminates. If
the driver then activates the turn signal, a
chime will sound twice and the BSW
indicator light will flash.
WARNING
. The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with vehi-
cles or objects. When changing lanes,
always use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
. The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the BSW indicator light
next to the outside mirror will illuminate in
the direction of the detected vehicle. If the
turn signal is then activated, the BSW
indicator light flashes and a chime sounds
twice. The indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone.
The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position.The brightness of the BSW indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes
into the detection zone after the driver
activates the turn signal, then only the
BSW indicator light flashes and no chime
sounds. (See
“BSW driving situations” (P.5-
30).)
The BSW system is automatically turned on
when the engine is started and the warning
systems ON indicator light
*1illuminates
on the switch. You can turn the BSW system
off by pushing the warning systems switch
on the instrumental panel. This switch will
turn on and off the LDW, BSW and FCW
systems at the same time.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning
systems switch from off to on for over 4
seconds, a chime will sound. This will
change the default status of the LDW, BSW
and FCW systems to OFF so that these
systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this proce-
dure is repeated, the default status will
