NOTICE
Camera sensor
Keep the windshield clean at all times.
LKA performance may deteriorate due to the presence of raindrops, con-
densation, ice or snow on the windshield.
Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near the camera
sensor.
When adjusting the rear view mirror, make sure that it does not block the
camera lens.
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on
the images. In such a case, use the windshield defogger to provide warm,
dry air to the windshield.
Do not place anything on the dashboard.
The camera sensor may recognize the image reflected on the windshield
as lane markings by mistake.
Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor or remove it.
The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
Do not subject the camera sensor to strong impact or force, and do not
disassemble the camera sensor.
Observe the following to ensure that the
LKA system functions correctly.
