The Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area. The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outer side view
mirrors.(1) Blind-spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) BCW : Closing at high spped The BCW-Closing at high spped
feature will alert you when a vehi-cle is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signalwhen the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
(3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors
approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse below
about 6 mph (10 km/h). If oncom-
ing cross traffic is detected a
warning chime will sound. The
time of alert varies according to
the speed difference between you
and the approaching vehicle.

The system may not work prop-erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumperhas been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane
OR when the road is wide, the
system may not detect other
vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.

The system detects lane lines
and controls the steering
wheel by a camera, therefore,
if the lane lines are hard to
detect, the system may not
work properly.
Please refer to "Limitations of the system".
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LKA system
because of excessive audiosound.
Do not place objects on the
dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. The system may malfunc-tion if the sunlight is reflected.(Continued)

Always have your hands on the steering wheel while the
LKA system is activated. If
you continue to drive with
your hands off the steering
wheel after the "Keep handson steering wheel" warning
message appears, the system
will turn off automatically.
The steering wheel is not con-
tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
speed when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be able to be
controlled by the system. The
driver must always follow thespeed limit when using thesystem.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the

Limitations of the System
The LKA system may operate pre-
maturely even if the vehicle does not
depart from the intended lane, OR,
the LKA system may not warn you if
the vehicle leaves the intended lane
under the following circumstances:
When the lane and road condi- tions are poor
It is difficult to distinguish the lanemarking from the road surface or
the lane marking is faded or not
clearly marked.
There are markings on the road surface that look like a lane line
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
The lane line is merged or divided. (e.g. tollgate)
The lane number increases or decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.
There are more than two lane lines on the road in front of you.

The lanes ahead are not visible due to rain, snow, water on the road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors. The shadow is on the lane marker
by a median strip, trees, etc.
The lanes are incomplete or the area is in a construction zone.
There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
The lane line in a tunnel is stained with oil, etc.
When external condition is inter- vened
The brightness outside changes suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel or passing under a
bridge.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle isgoing through a tunnel or passing
under a bridge..
There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surfacesuch as a puddle in the road. The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare.
The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
line or the vehicle ahead is driving
on the lane line.
Driving on a steep grade, over a hill, or when driving on a curvedroad.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is highdue to direct sunlight.
When front visibility is poor
The windshield or the LKA system camera lens is blocked with dirt or
debris.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-ed.
Placing objects on the dashboard, etc.
