■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LKA system functions may not be available and a warning message ( P. 614)
will be displayed for a while after driving has started. In such cases, turn the LKA sys-
tem off and turn it on again after normal temperature returns. When the temperature
in the cabin decreases and the temperature around the camera sensor ( P. 344)
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
■If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane keeping assist function will not operate. Also, the lane departure warning
will not operate for the side on which lane markers could not be recognized.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following conditions, the LKA system functions may not operate, or it may not
be possible to ensure adequate performance. Also, the camera sensor may be
unable to recognize lane lines causing the lane departure warning function to oper-
ate incorrectly, or the lane keeping assist function may not operate properly. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.

■When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, such as snow tires, etc., sufficient performance may not
be maintainable.
■Warning messages for LKA
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver
of the need for caution while driving. ( P. 614)
CAUTION
■Before using the LKA system
Do not rely solely on the LKA system. The LKA system does not drive the vehicle
automatically, 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 surround-
ings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving
safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
■To avoid operating the LKA by mistake
Switch the LKA off using the LKA switch when not in use.

Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
●When driving with tire chains or similar equipment
●When the tires have been excessively worn, or when the tire inflation pressure is
low
●When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinter-
preted as lane markers (such as guardrails, 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 slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●When driving in a lane other than the driving or passing lanes on a freeway or
highway
●When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving
in a temporary lane

■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no danger of a collision
In any of the following situations where the frontal area of the radar sensor is inter-
rupted, the radar sensor may detect possibility of a frontal collision and the system
may be activated.
●When passing by an oncoming vehicle in a curve or a turn to the right or the left.
●When rapidly approaching an obstacle ahead (e.g. preceding vehicle, toll gate bar-
rier, etc.)
●When there is a structural object (billboard, low ceiling, fluorescent light, etc.)
above the uphill road ahead
●When driving on a narrow road or through under a low overhead structure (bridge,
tunnel, fly-under, etc.)
●When driving on an uneven road surface
●When there is a metal object, bump, or protrusion on the road surface
●When vehicle front part is raised or lowered depending on loading conditions
●When the direction of radar sensor is misaligned by strong impact applied on an
area around the radar sensor, etc.
●When there is an obstacle (guard rail, etc.) by the roadside at the entrance to a
curve
●When the front of your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by putting a heavy load
in the trunk etc.)
●When driving through an area filled with steam or smoke
When the system is activated in the situatio ns described above, there is also a possi-
bility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes may be applied with a force
greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the retracted position, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.
■Obstacles not detected
The radar sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles,
motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
■A camera sensor cannot detect obstacles in the following situations:
●A camera sensor is directly receiving intense light, such as sunlight.
●Visibility is poor because of bad weather or other reasons.
●The sensor temperature is extremely high.
●The headlights are not turned on in darkness such as at night or in a tunnel.
