●Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability of
detecting the lane markers.

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.

LDP SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDP system operates above approximately
45 mph (70 km/h). When the vehicle approaches
either the left or the right side of the traveling lane,
a warning chime will sound and the LDW indica-
tor light (orange) on the instrument panel will
blink to alert the driver. Then, the LDP system will
automatically apply the brakes for a short period
of time to help assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane.
To turn on the LDP system, push the dynamic
driver assistance switch on the steering wheel
after starting the engine. The LDW indicator light
(green) on the instrument panel will illuminate.
Push the dynamic driver assistance switch again
to turn off the LDP system. The LDW indicator
light will turn off.

●Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
The LDP system may or may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
● On roads where there are multiple par-
allel lane markers; lane markers that
are faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard
lane markers; or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
● On roads where there are sharply con-
trasting objects, such as shadows,
snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines
remaining after road repairs. (The LDP
system could detect these items as lane
markers.)
● On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane marker. ●
When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
● When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windshield in front of the lane camera
unit.
● When the headlights are not bright due
to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
● When strong light enters the lane cam-
era unit. (For example, the light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may hear a
sound of brake operation. This is normal and indi-
cates that the LDP system is operating properly.
