deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts the driver
using beeping and indications on the multi-information display.

played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin decreases
and the temperature around the camera sensor ( →P. 228) becomes suitable for its
operation, the functions will begin to operate.
