WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the LDW
system could result in serious injury or
death. • This system is only a warning device
to inform the driver of a potential
unintended lane departure. It will
not steer the vehicle or prevent loss
of control. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and
be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
The LDW system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only
when the lane markings are clearly visible
on the road.
The LDW system monitors the lane mark-
ers on the traveling lane using the camera
unit
Alocated above the inside mirror. The LDW system warns the driver with an
indicator in the vehicle information display
and a steering vibration that the vehicle is
beginning to leave the driving lane. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “LDW system

the driver’s responsibility to stay
alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in
the traveling lane, and be in control
of the vehicle at all times. • The I-LI system is primarily intended
for use on well-developed freeways
or highways. It may not detect the
lane markers in certain road,
weather, or driving conditions.
The I-LI system must be turned on with the
ProPILOT Assist switch on the steering
wheel every time the power switch is
placed in the ON position.
The I-LI system will operate when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds of approximately
37 mph (60 km/h) and above, and only
when the lane markings are clearly visible
on the road.
The I-LI system warns the driver when the
vehicle has lef t the center of the traveling
lane with an indicator in the vehicle infor-
mation display and a steering vibration.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the BSW
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The BSW system is not a replace- ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, 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.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
The BSW system helps alert the driver of
other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes. The BSW system uses radar sensors
1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane.
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the detec-
tion zone shown as illustrated. This detec-
tion zone starts from the outside mirror of
your vehicle and extends approximately
10 f t (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
