LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes
the lane markers using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver when
the vehicle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle has deviated from its lane, it
alerts the driver using a buzzer and indications on the multi-informa-
tion display.

■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system
functions.
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several sec-
onds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise
while the audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult
to hear the warning sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be immediately available. When the temperature in
the cabin decreases and the temperature around the front sensor (P. 307)
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
■If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane mark-
ers could not be recognized.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the front sensor may be unable to recognize lane
markers causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or before a
ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load
or improper tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
extremely short
