The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the side view mirrors.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature
will help alert you when a vehicle
is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signal
when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle
is in reverse. The feature will
operate when the vehicle is mov-
ing in reverse below about 6 mph
(10 km/h). If oncoming cross traf-
fic is detected a warning chime
will sound.

LKAS operation
To activate/deactivate the LKAS:
With the ignition switch in the ON
position, press the LKAS button
located on the instrument panel on
the lower left side of the steering
wheel.
The indicator in the cluster display
will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) activated
in the previous ignition cycle, the
system turns on without any control. (Continued)
When the lane markers are
hard to detect, please refer to
"Limitation of the System".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKAS.
Do not place objects on the
crash pad that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of LKAS if the sunlight is
reflected.
If you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel, the LKAS will stop con-
trolling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm.
After then, if you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be acti-
vated again.

steering torque for assistance
will not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane.

Limitations of the System
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations may not work prop-
erly when :
It is difficult to distinguish the lane
marker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust.
It is difficult to distinguish the color
of the lane marker from road.
There is something looks like a
lane marker.
The lane marker is indistinct or
damaged.
The number of lanes increases/
decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane).
There are more than two lane
markers.
The lane marker is very thick or
thin.
The lane marker is not visible due
to snow, rain, stain, a puddle or
other factors. A shadow is on the lane marker
because of a median strip,
guardrail, noise barriers and oth-
ers.
When the lane markers are compli-
cated or a structure substitutes for
the lines such as a construction
area.
There are crosswalk signs or other
symbols on the road.
The lane marker in a tunnel is cov-
ered with dirt or oil.
The brightness of outside changes
suddenly when entering or existing
a tunnel.
The headlamps are not on at night
or in a tunnel, or light level is low.
There is a boundary structure in
the roadway.
The light of street, sun, oncoming
vehicle and so on reflects from the
water on the road.
When light shines brightly in the
reverse direction you drive.
The lane suddenly disappears
such as at the intersection. The distance from the vehicle
ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead drives hiding the lane line.
You drive on a steep grade or a
sharp curve.
The vehicle vibrates heavily.
The temperature near inside mirror
is very high due to direct sun light.
The lens or windshield is covered
by strange materials.
The sensor cannot detect the lane
because of fog, heavy rain or snow.
The windshield is fogged by humid
air in the vehicle.
Putting something on the crash
pad.
