Vehicle status information and indicators
■Vehicle sway warning
Detects the sway of the vehicle within a
lane, which is often associated with a
decrease in the driver’s attention level,
and displays the decrease in attention
using a bar display.
The shorter the bar length, the more

This display is a part of the LTA (Lane
Tracing Assist) system or LDA (Lane
Departure Alert with steering control)
system. The display is enabled when

sway warning are met. ( P.221, 230)
