•The system will not operate at speeds be-
low approximately 40 MPH (60 km/h) or
if it cannot detect lane markers.
•The LDW system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways or
highways. It may not detect the lane
markers in certain roads, weather or
driving conditions.
•Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion 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 uneven
roads.
–When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
–When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary 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-standard
wheels).–When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
•The camera may not detect lane markers
in the following situations and the LDW
system may not operate properly.
–On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; or lane mark-
ers covered with water, dirt, snow,
etc.
–On roads where the discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
–On roads where there are sharp
curves.
–On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams
or lines remaining after road repairs.
(The LDW system could detect these
items as lane markers.)
–On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
–When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
marker.–When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
–When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of the lane
camera unit.
–When the headlights are not bright
due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming
is not adjusted properly.
–When strong light enters the lane
camera unit. (For example, the light
directly shines on the front of the ve-
hicle at sunrise or sunset.)
–When a sudden change in brightness
occurs. (For example, when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
–When there is poor visibility. (For ex-
ample, due to insufficient illumina-
tion of the road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray.
–When there is glare. (For example,
from oncoming traffic, the sun or re-
flection when the road is wet).
5-34Starting and driving
Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. The BSW indica-
tor light continues to flash until the detected
vehicles leave the detection zone.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
•If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn signal,
then only the BSW indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See "Another ve-
hicle approaching from behind" later in this
section.)
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver ac-
tivates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
–Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
–Several types of vehicles such as mo-
torcycles
–Oncoming vehicles
–Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.–A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
–A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
•The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
•The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.

–Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
•Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travel-
ling much faster than your vehicle, the indica-
tor light may not illuminate before the de-
tected vehicle is beside your vehicle. 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.

The ICC system has not detected the vehicle
cutting in yet. The system will not brake for or
keep a following distance to this vehicle.
Narrow vehicles (including
motorcycles)
The ICC system has not yet detected the
vehicle ahead on the edge of the lane be-
cause of its narrow width. The system will not
brake for or keep a following distance to this
