LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM (LKAS) (IF EQUIPPED)
05'4
The Lane Keeping Assist System de‐
tects lane markers on the road, and as‐ sists the driver’s steering to help keep
the vehicle between lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the driv‐
er with a visual and audible warning, while applying a slight counter steering
torque, trying to prevent the vehicle
from moving out of its lane.
WARNING
•The steering wheel is not continu‐ously controlled so if the vehiclespeed is very fast when leaving alane the vehicle may not be con‐trolled by the system.
•The operation of the LKAS can beaffected by several factors (in‐cluding environmental conditions).It is the responsibility of the driverto pay attention to the roadwayand to maintain the vehicle in itslane at all times.
•Do not steer the steering wheelsuddenly when the steering wheelis being assisted by the system.

(Continued)
•LKAS prevents the driver frommoving out of the lane uninten‐tionally by assisting the driver'ssteering. However, the drivershould not solely rely on the sys‐tem but always pay attention onthe steering wheel to stay in thelane.
•Always check the road conditionand surroundings and be cautiouswhen the system cancels, doesnot operate or malfunctions.
•Do not place any accessories,stickers or tint the windshield nearthe rearview mirror.
•The system detects lane markersand controls the steering wheel bya camera, therefore, if the lanemarkers are hard to detect, thesystem may not work properly.Please refer to L

(Continued)
•Do not place objects on the dash‐board that reflects light such asmirrors, white paper, etc. The sys‐tem may malfunction if the sun‐light is reflected.
•Loud audio sounds may interferewith the passenger from hearingwarning chimes.
•Always have your hands on thesteering wheel while the LKASsystem is activated. If you contin‐ue to drive with your hands off thesteering wheel after the "Hand on"warning, the system will turn offautomatically.
•If you drive very fast, the vehiclemay stray out of the lane. Alwaysbe cautious when using the sys‐tem.
•When you tow the trailer, makesure that you turn off LKAS func‐tion.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
06.-
The BSD (Blind spot detection) system
uses a radar sensor to alert the driver while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to the
driver. 1. BSD (Blind spot detection)
Warning range is dependent on
your vehicle speed. However, if the
speed of your vehicle is faster by
10 km/h or more than other nearby
vehicles, the warning is not operat‐
ed.
2. LCA (Lane change assist) When vehicles are approaching toyour vehicle at high speed, the
warning is operated.
3. RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert) When your vehicle moves back‐
ward, the sensor detects approach‐
ing vehicles to the left or right side
direction and warning is operated.
WARNING
•Always check the road conditionwhile driving for unexpected situa‐tions even though the BSD (Blindspot detection) system is operat‐ing.
•BSD (Blind spot detection) systemis a system made for convenience.Do not solely rely on the systembut always pay attention to drivesafely.
BSD (Blind spot detection) / LCA
(Lane Change Assist)
Operating conditions
The indicator on the switch will illumi‐
nate when the BSD (Blind spot detec‐ tion) system switch is pressed with the
engine start/stop button switch ON. If
the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h (18.6 mph), the system will activate.
If you press the switch again, the
switch indicator and system will be
