LDW/LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the LDW and LDP systems. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance with
these system limitations could result in
serious injury or death.
.The system will not operate at speeds
below 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if it
cannot detect lane markers.
.The LDP system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways
or highways. It may not detect the
lane markers in certain roads, weath-
er or driving conditions.
.Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not
function properly:
— During bad weather (rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
— When driving on slippery roads,
such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un-
even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due
to road repairs.— When driving in a makeshift or
temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
— When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-stan-
dard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original steering parts, brake
parts or suspension parts.
.The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the LDW and LDP systems may
not operate properly.
— On roads where there are multi-
ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp
curves.
— On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW and LDP
systems could detect these items
as lane markers.)
— On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di-
rection does not align with the
lane marker.
— When traveling close to the ve-
hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit
detection range.

JVS0823X
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The lane camera unitfor LDW/LDP
systems is located above the inside mirror.
To keep the proper operation of LDW/LDP
systems and prevent a system malfunction,
be sure to observe the following:
.Always keep the windshield clean.
.Do not attach a sticker (including trans-
parent material) or install an accessory
near the camera unit.
.Do not place reflective materials, such as
white paper or a mirror, on the instru-
ment panel. The reflection of sunlight
may adversely affect the camera unit’s
capability of detecting the lane markers.
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSI system.
.There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker,
traffic or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation.
Always rely on your own operation to
avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes, and helps assist the driver to return
the vehicle to the center of the traveling
lane.
JVS0864X
The BSI system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition
to the radar sensors, the BSI system uses a
camera
installed behind the windshield to
monitor the lane markers of your traveling
lane.
SSD1030
Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.
