CAUTION
■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not func-
tion correctly
Operate the brake pedal (or accelerator pe dal operation depending on the situation)
as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect vehicles ahead, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the detecting of
the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the trunk, etc.)
●When the road curves or when the lanes are
narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your posi-
tion in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates
suddenly

●When driving on roads that are branching or merging
●When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, previous rainfall, standing water,
etc.
●When the vehicle experiences strong up-and -down motion such as when driving on an
extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
●When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses, or when
the headlights are misaligned
●When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
●When driving on rough or unpaved roads
■When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, sufficient performance may not be maintainable.
■Warning messages for the LDA system
Warning messages are used to indicate a syst em malfunction or to inform the driver of
the need for caution while driving. ( P. 4 8 6 )
CAUTION
■Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the vehicle auto-
matically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the driver
must always assume full responsibility for understanding his/her surroundings, for
operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving safely.
Inappropriate or negligent drivin g could lead to an accident.
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
■Situations unsuitable for LDA system
Do not use the LDA system in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
●When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
●When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinterpreted
as lane markers (such as guardrails, a curb, reflector posts, etc.)
●When driving on snowy roads
●When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, sand, dirt, etc.
●When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the remains of
old lane markers are still visible on the road
●When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving in a
temporary lane

■Using the system
Use any of the following modes.
●Estimated course line display mode (P. 2 3 3 )
Estimated course lines are dis-
played which move in accor-
dance with the operation of the
steering wheel.
●Parking assist guide line display mode ( P. 2 3 5 )
The steering wheel return points
(parking assist guide lines) are
displayed.
●Distance guide line display mode
Distance guide lines only are dis-
played.

Vehicle center guide line
The line indicates the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Vehicle width guide line
The line indicates a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up.
The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
The line aligns with the estimated course lines when the steering wheel is straight.
Estimated course lines
The lines show an estimated course when the steering wheel is turned.
Distance guide line
The line moves, together with the estimated course lines, in sync with the steering
wheel. The line shows points approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) and approximately
3 ft. (1 m) (yellow) from the center of the edge of the bumper.
Distance guide line
The line shows distance behind the vehicl e, a point approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m)
(blue) from the edge of the bumper.
