WARNING
■Before using LDA system
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. LDA is not a system which auto-
matically drives the vehicle or reduces the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by always paying careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions and operate the steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, make sure to take adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of time.Failure to perform appropriate driv-
ing operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting
in death or serious injury.
■ To avoid operating LDA by mistake
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.
