If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abruptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines that the driver is
making a lane change and the LAS&LDWS operation is temporarily canceled. The
LAS&LDWS becomes operational again when the system detects white (yellow) lane lines
while the vehicle is being driven normally within its vehicle lane.
If the vehicle deviates from its lane repe atedly within a short period of time, the
LAS&LDWS may not operate.
When white (yellow) lane lines are not detected, the LAS&LDWS does not operate.
Under the following conditions, the LAS&LDWS may not be able to detect white (yellow)
