BSW CAMERA UNIT MAINTENANCE
The rear camera unitj1 for the BSW system is
located above the rear number plate and it has a
automatic washer and blower for cleaning the lens.
To maintain the proper operation of the BSW sys-
tem and prevent a system malfunction be sure to
observe the following:
•Always keep the camera unit clean. Be careful
not to damage the nozzle of automatic washer
and blower.
•Do not attach “number plate accessories” that
reflect light.
•Do not strike or damage the areas around the
camera unit.The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system alerts
the driver when the vehicle is travelling close to ei-
ther the left or the right of a travelling lane.
The LDW system uses the multi-sensing front cam-
era unit situated in front of the interior rear view mir-
ror
j1.
WARNING
•The LDW system is only a warning device to
help inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer the
vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the travelling lane, and be
in control of the vehicle at all times.
•The camera units may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.

– When strong light enters the camera unit.
(for example, light directly shines on the
front or rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (for example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
LDW SYSTEM OPERATION
The LDW system operates above approximately 60
km/h (37 MPH).
When the vehicle approaches either the left or the
right of the travelling lane, the LDW system will
chime and the LDW light (orange) in the vehicle
information display will blink to alert the driver.
The LDW system is not designed to operate under
the following conditions:
•When you operate the lane change signal and
change travelling lanes in the direction of the sig-
nal. (The LDW system will become operable
again approximately 2 seconds after the lane
change signal is turned off.)
•When the vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 60 km/h (37 MPH).
Turning on or off the LDW system
Turning the LDW system on or of is done using the
[Settings] menu in the vehicle information display.
For details, see “Vehicle information display” in the
“2. Instruments and controls” section.

markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, wa-
ter, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining
after road repairs. (The LDW system could
detect these items as lane markers.)
– On roads where the travelling lane merges
or separates.
– When the vehicle’s travelling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
– When the road surface is very dark due to
weak ambient light or impaired lamps.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windscreen in front of the LDW camera
unit.
•When driving on a curved road, warning will
be late on the outside of the curve.
LDW TEMPORARY DISABLED
