Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Alerts and helps to assist you when the sy stem detects a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror 
monitors left and right lane markings (in white 
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close 
to detected lane markings without a turn 
signal activated, the system, in addition to a 
visual alert, applies st eering torque and alerts 
you with rapid vibrations on the steering 
wheel, to help you remain within the detected 
lane.
As a visual alert, the  Lane Departure 
message appears on the driver information 
interface.
If the system determines  that its steering input 
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the 
roadway, it may apply braking. u Braking is applied only when the lane 
markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid 
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without  detecting driver response, the system 
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has 
limitations.
Over-reliance on the RDM system may result in a 
collision. It is always your  responsibility to keep the 
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts  you when lane drift is 
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM 
system may not detect all  lane markings or lane 
departures; accuracy will  vary based on weather, 
speed and lane marker condi tion. It is always your 
responsibility to sa fely operate the vehicle and avoid 
collisions.
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system.

2 RDM Conditions and Limitations  P. 432
There are times when you may not notice RDM 
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or 
road surface conditions. If the  Lane Departure 
message appears repeated ly and you do not apply 
responsive actions, the  beeper sounds and RDM 
functions will be canceled.

Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a 
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does 
not work if you take y our hands off the steering 
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.

Do not place objects on the instrument panel. 
Objects may reflect on th e front windshield and 
prevent correct detectio n of the traffic lanes.
LKAS only alerts you when  lane drift is detected 
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect 
all lane markings or lane  departures; accuracy will 
vary based on weather,  speed, and lane marker 
condition.
It is always your  responsibility to  safely operate the 
vehicle and avoid collisions.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.

* P. 414
When you operate the turn signals to cha nge lanes, the system is suspended, and 
resumes after the signals are off.
()  If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS 
alerts activate, and torque  is applied to the steering.
■LKAS camera

Rapid vibrations on the steering wheel 
and a warning display alert you that 
the vehicle is drifting out of a detected 
lane.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the steerin g to keep the vehicle between the left 
and right lane lines. The applied torque becomes stronger as the vehicle gets 
closer to either of the lane lines.

uuWhen Driving uLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
436
Driving
The system can be used when  the following conditions are met.
• The lane in which you are driving has dete ctable lane markers on both sides, and 
your vehicle is in the center of the lane.
• The vehicle speed is between 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
• You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.
• The wipers are not in continuous operation.
■How to activate the system
1.Press the MAIN  button.
u The LKAS is on in the driver information 
interface.
The system is ready to use.
2. Press the LKAS button.
u Lane outlines appear on the driver 
information interface.
The system is activated.
■When the System can be Used1When the System can be Used
If the vehicle drifts toward either the left or right lane 
line due to the system appl ying torque, turn off the 
LKAS and have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.
