tance on your vehicle so suddenly as
to exceed the ASCC reaction ability.

control of your vehicle in the event of
such unexpected and sudden situa-
tions.

This system detects the lane with the
sensor at the front windshield and
warns you when your vehicle leaves
the lane. The LDWS does not make the
vehicle change lanes. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to always check
the road conditions.
If the sensor cannot detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 70km/h (43mph), the
LDWS won't warn you even though
the vehicle leaves the lane.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.
Prevent damage to the LDWS sen- sor from water or any liquid.
Do not remove the LDWS parts and do not damage the sensor by
a strong impact.
Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
Always check the road conditions for you may not hear the warning
chime because of audio, or exter-
nal noise.

vehicle and provides and indication
to the driver. (1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)

your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is about 10 km/h (6
mph) faster than the other vehi-

ward, the sensor detects the
approaching vehicle in the left
and right side, the system will
warn you.
