LANE KEEPING SYSTEM WARNING: You are responsible
for controlling your vehicle at all times.
The system is designed to be an aid and
does not relieve you of your responsibility
to drive with due care and attention.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
Large contrasts in
outside lighting can limit sensor
performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. WARNING:
If damage occurs in
the immediate area surrounding the
sensor, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.
The system is designed to alert you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure. The system
detects and tracks the road lane markings
using a camera mounted behind the
interior mirror. The system only operates
when the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
40 mph (65 km/h). You
can view the system status in the
information display.
Note: The system works when the camera
can detect at least one lane marking or the
edge of the road.

The system is designed to alert you of
vehicles approaching from the sides behind
your vehicle when you shift into reverse
(R). If you continue to reverse after the

approaching vehicle. If the system applies
the brakes, a message appears in the
information display.

if you override it by firmly pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Using Cross Traffic Alert

that approach at a speed between
4 mph
(6 km/h) and 37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage
decreases when the sensors are partially,
mostly or fully obstructed. Slowly reversing
helps increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.

engine and you shift into reverse (R). The
system turns off when you shift out of
reverse (R).
