Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)
LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
warning and steering wheel vibration
warning when the system detects the
vehicle departing the lane. The steer-
ing wheel will not be controlled.
Pre-Departure Control
LKAS assists the driver by control-
ling the steering wheel before lane
departure. When the vehicle is near
the edge of the lane, LKAS starts
controlling the steering wheel to
assist the driver to stay in the lane.
Post-Departure Control
LKAS assists the driver by control-
ling the steering wheel when lane
departure has started. When the
vehicle's front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKAS starts
controlling the steering wheel to
assist the driver to stay in the lane.This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and
2. This device must accept any inter-
ference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired
operation.

Driving your vehicle
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides an indication to
the driver if it detects an object
approaching from these areas.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The warning range depends on
your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is much faster than
the other vehicle, the system will
not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
If the system detects a vehicle
approaching you at high speed,
the system will warn you.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
If the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle from the left
and right side as your vehicle
moves rearward, the system will
warn you.

move the vehicle away from the
detected object slowly; the warn-
ing will be cancelled.
• The system may not operate prop-
erly due to other factors or cir-
cumstances. Always pay attention
to your surrounding.

bumper is blinded by barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing ability
may be reduced.
The warning light on the out-

minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.
