■Before using LDA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LDA
system. The LDA system does
not automatically drive the vehi-
cle or reduce the amount of
attention that must be paid to
the area in front of the vehicle.
The driver must always assume
full responsibility for driving
safely by paying careful atten-
tion to the surrounding condi-
tions and operating the steering
wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must
take adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as from driving
for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●When not using the LDA sys-
tem, use the LDA switch to turn
the system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LDA
system
In the following situations, use the
LDA switch to turn the system off.
Failure to do so may lead to an

face which is slippery due to
