When driving on roads with white (yellow) lines, this function alerts the
driver when the vehicle might depart from its lane.
The LDA system recognizes visi-
ble white (yellow) lines with the
front sensor on the upper portion
of the windshield.
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane, a warning is displayed on
the multi-information display and
the warning buzzer sounds to
alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds,
check the surrounding road situa-
tion and carefully operate the
steering wheel to move the vehicle
back to the center within the white
(yellow) lines.

Automatic High Beam∗
The Automatic High Beam uses an in-vehicle front sensor to
assess the brightness of streetlights, the lights of vehicles
ahead etc., and automatically turns the high beam on or off as
necessary.
WARNING
■ Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning the high beam on or off manually if
necessary.

and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
