DISABLING THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (PCS)
LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white \
and yellow 
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on th\
e road. If the 
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviat\
e from its lane, 
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the al\
erts occur, the 
driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate t\
he steering 
wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane. 
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 mph (50 km/h) or higher 
on relatively straight roadways.
In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering ass\
ist 
function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on \
a path to 
unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering 
inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the\
 vehicle in its 
lane.
