(64 km/h), the system does not issue
warnings.

care and attention when using and
operating the controls and features on
your vehicle. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the

The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning. WARNING:
Large contrasts in
outside lighting can limit sensor
performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in
the immediate area surrounding the
sensor, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:

correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.
Note: The system works above
40 mph
(64 km/h).

Note:
When you select aid or both modes
and the system detects no steering activity
for a short period, the system alerts you to
put your hands on the steering wheel. The
system may detect a light grip or touch
on the steering wheel as hands off
driving. When you switch the system on and it
detects an unintentional drift out of your
lane is likely to occur, the system notifies
or assists you to stay in your lane through
the steering system and information
display. In Alert mode, the system provides
a warning by vibrating the steering wheel.
In Aid mode, the system provides steering
assistance by gently counter steering your
vehicle back into the lane.
When the system is functioning in the
combined Alert and Aid mode, the system
first provides steering assistance by gently
counter steering your vehicle back into the
lane, followed by a warning by vibrating
the steering wheel if the vehicle is still out
of the lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off

The system on or off setting remains
stored until you manually change it unless
the system detects a MyKey. If the system
detects a MyKey, it defaults to on and the
mode sets to alert. Press the button on the direction indicator
stalk to switch the system on or off.

When the system is on, the color of the
lane markings change to indicate the

• Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
• The road has no or poor lane markings
in the camera field-of-view.
• The camera is obscured or unable to
detect the lane markings due to
environmental, traffic or vehicle
conditions. For example, significant sun
angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain or
fog, following a large vehicle that is
blocking or shadowing the lane or poor
headlamp illumination. See Troubleshooting for additional
information.
