WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDW system
could result in serious injury or death.
The LDW system will operate when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) and above, and only when the lane
markings are clearly visible on the road.
The LDW system warns the driver with a warning
light and chime that the vehicle is beginning to
leave the driving lane. The LDW system monitors the lane markers on
the traveling lane using the camera unit
1lo-
cated above the inside mirror. When the camera
unit detects that the vehicle is traveling close to
either the left or the right of the traveling lane, the
LDW indicator light on the instrument panel
blinks in orange and a warning chime sounds.

Page 404 of 651

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 and the lane markings are clear. When the
vehicle approaches either the left or the right side
of the traveling lane, a warning chime will sound
and the LDW indicator light on the instrument
panel will blink to alert the driver.
The warning function will stop when the vehicle
returns inside of the lane markers.
The LDW system is not designed to warn under
the following conditions.● When you operate the lane change signal
and change traveling lanes in the direction of
the signal. (The LDW system will become
operable again approximately 2 seconds af-
ter the lane change signal is turned off.)
● When the vehicle speed lowers to less than
approximately 45 mph (70 km/h).
● When the BSI activates an audible warning
or when the brakes are automatically applied
by the system.
After the above conditions have finished and the
necessary operating conditions are satisfied, the
LDW functions will resume.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the LDP system
could result in serious injury or death.
The LDP system will operate when the vehicle is
driven at speeds of approximately 45 mph
(70 km/h) and above, and only when the lane
markings are clearly visible on the road.
The LDP system warns the driver with a warning
light and chime, and helps assist the driver to
return the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane by applying the brakes to the left or right
wheels individually (for a short period of time) . The LDP system monitors the lane markers on the
traveling lane using the camera unit
1located
above the inside mirror. When the camera unit
detects that the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of the traveling lane, the Lane
Departure Warning indicator light on the instru-
ment panel blinks in orange and a warning chime
sounds. When the LDP system is on, it will auto-
matically apply the brakes for a short period of
time, using the function of the Vehicle Dynamic
Control (VDC) system.

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSW system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BSW system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When changing lanes,
always use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on the
BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane.

Page 425 of 651

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the BSW indicator light located near
the outside mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the system chimes a
sound (three times) and the BSW indicator light
flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on
one side of the vehicle for a moment to help return
the vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be ac-
tivated if the BSW indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle approaches
a lane marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake
control will be activated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section. The BSI system is typically
activated earlier than the Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP) system when your vehicle
is approaching a lane marker.The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver
assistance switch on the steering wheel is
pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention®” is
enabled in the “Driver Assistance” menu on the
vehicle information display. The BSI ON indicator
light on the instrument panel illuminates when the
BSI system is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the BSW indicator light even if the BSW
system is off.
