uuWhen Driving uLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Continued
Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual al erts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicl e control. The system does
not work if you take y our hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle. 2 Driver Information Interface Warning and
Information Messages P. 102
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e front windshield and
prevent correct detectio n of the traffic lanes.
The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in us e. The LKAS may not detect
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker
condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle an d avoid collisions.
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:
2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 587
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera
* P. 562
When it fails to detect lanes, the system will
temporarily be canceled. When lane is detected,
system will recover automatically.
■Tactile and visual alerts
Rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel and a warning display
alert you that the vehicle is
drifting out of a detected lane.■LKAS camera
Monitors the
lane lines
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and
right lane lines. The applied torque become s stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of the lane lines.
When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
() If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.

uuWhen Driving uLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
582
Driving
Provides assistance to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. When the vehicle
nears a white or yellow line, steering force of the electric power steering will become
stronger.
When the vehicle enters the warning area, the LKAS alerts you with slight steering
wheel vibration as well as a warning display.
■Lane Keep Support Function1 Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
The LKAS may not function as designed while driving
in frequent stop and go traf fic, or on roads with
sharp curves.
When the vehicle enters the warning area, lane
departure warning is prov ided by steering wheel
vibration and display.

uuWhen Driving uBlind spot information (BSI) System*
Driving
Blind spot information (BSI) System*
Is designed to detect vehicl es in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas co mmonly known as “blind spots.” When the
system detects vehicles approaching from be hind in adjacent lanes, the appropriate
indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you change lanes.
■How the system works
1 Blind spot inform ation (BSI) System*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over
reliance on BSI may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an object is
within the alert zone, the following situations may occur.
•The BSI alert indicator may not come on due to
obstruction (splashes, et c.) even without the Blind
Spot Info Not Available driver information
interface appearing.
•The BSI alert indicator may come on even with the
message appearing.
The BSI alert i ndicator may not come on under the
following conditions:
•A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more
than two seconds.
•A vehicle is parked in a side lane.•The speed difference between your vehicle and the
vehicle you are passing is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h).
•An object not detected by the radar sensors
approaches or passes your vehicle.
•A vehicle running in the adjacent lane is a
motorcycle or other small vehicle.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system wh en changing lanes.
Always look in your mi rrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.

uuWhen Driving uLaneWatchTM*
Driving
LaneWatchTM*
LaneWatch is an assistance system that allows you to check the passenger side rear
areas displayed on the audio/in formation screen when the turn signal is activated to
the passenger’s side. A camera in the passenger side door mirror monitors these
areas and allows you to check for vehicles, in addition to your visual check and use
of the passenger door mirror. You can also keep the system on for your convenience
while driving.
Canadian models
1 LaneWatchTM*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LaneWatch has
limitations. Over reliance on LaneWatch may result in
a collision.
The LaneWatch function can be affected by weather,
lighting (including headli ghts and low sun angle),
ambient darkness, camera condition, and loading.
The LaneWatch may not prov ide the intended display
of traffic to the side and rear under the following
conditions:
•Your vehicle’s suspension has been altered,
changing the height of the vehicle.
•Your tires are over or under inflated.•Your tires or wheels are of varied size or
construction.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while
driving.
Always look in your mi rrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.

Driving
The system may automatically shut off and the CMBSTM indicator will come on under
certain conditions. Some examples of th ese conditions are listed below. Other
conditions may reduce some of the CMBS
TM functions.
2 Front Sensor Camera* P. 562
■Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.
• There is little contrast between objects and the background.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Roadway objects or structures are misint erpreted as vehicles and pedestrians.
• Reflections on the interi or of the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark condition such as a tunnel.
■Roadway conditions
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway (obscured lane marking, vehicle tracks,
reflected lights, road spray, high contrast).
• The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.
• Driving on curvy, winding, or undulating roads.
■CMBSTM Conditions and Limitations1CMBSTM Conditions and Limitations
Do not paint, or apply any coverings or paint to the
radar sensor area. This can impact CMBS
TM operation.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer if you find any
unusual behavior of the system (e.g., the warning
message appears too frequently).
If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work
properly. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer:
•The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock,
embankment, etc.
•You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.•Your vehicle has a frontal collision.
If you need the radar sensor to be repaired, or
removed, or the radar se nsor cover is strongly
impacted, turn off the system by pressing the
CMBS
TM OFF button and take your vehicle to a
dealer.
