cle can stay in the center of
the lane. The LFA system does
not automatically control the
steering wheel at all times,
which means the driver must
keep hands on the wheel at all
times while driving.
When using the LFA system, always be aware of your sur-
roundings and road condi-
tions that may interrupt or
stop the LFA system.
CAUTION
- Do not attach glass tinting, stickers, accessories to thewindshield near the front cam-era near the indoor mirror isplaced.
