A WARNING
• The lane departure warning may not be suitable for every situation. Also the system is not designed to avoid the lane deviations automati~ cally. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. Depending on road surface conditions, you may n~t feel the vibration of the steering wheel even when the lane departure warning works. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself.
Situations where the system does not activate Under the following situations, the system does not activate. , When dual sensor brake support indicator light and lane departu_re warni~g i~dicator light are 1nitially lighting immediately after the ignition switch is turned to "ON" When the following switches are pushed and the system is turned off: -Lane departure warning OFF switch -ESP® OFF switch When operated the hazard warning switch When the dual sensor is temporarily stopped or malfunctioning
When the system judges that the intentional lane change, such as during or after fiashing the turn signal lights
Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. , When you suddenly close to the partition
lines When driving on sharp curves When you do not return to inside of th_e lane after the lane departure warning 1s activated When the electric power steering light
comes on
If the dual sensor cannot detect partition lines except for above situations, t~~ _system may also not activate. Refer to Situations where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Situations where the system may not activate properly Under the following situations, the system may not activate. • Right after lane changing
If the dual sensor cannot detect partition lines except for above situations, the system may also not activate. Refer to "Situations where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.
High beam assist
After the auto high beam switch operation, head light is turned ON with the lighting control lever on "Auto" position when the ambient becomes dark, the system is activated. When the high beam assist is activated, high beam assist indicator light (green) comes on.
Under the any of following situations, the low beam turns on. • When vehicle speed is approximately 35 km/h (21.7 mph) or under When the front of the vehicle is bright When the vehicle in front of you turned on the lights There are many street lamps in front of you
Under the all of the following conditions are met, the high beams (main beams) turns on.
3-35
When vehicle speed is approximately 40 km/h (24.9 mph) or over When the front of the vehicle is dark When the vehicle in front of you is driving without lights • There is few street lamps in front of you
A. WARNING
• High beam assist has limits and may not function properly depending on the surrou.nding environment. Always drive in a safe manner, switch manually to the low beams and high beams (main beams), if necessary. Switching of the low beams and high beams (main beams) it might not match the feeling of the driver.
NOTE: Light vehicle such as a bicycle might not detect. When the sudden acceleration, high beam assist might not operate for a few seconds, even if vehicle speed exceeds 40kmlh (24.9 mph).
How to use High beam assist

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Under the following situations, the brightness of the surrounding area can not be detected accurately, and there is a case where the high beam is a nuisance to pedestrians or the vehicle ahead, or low beam will remain to continue. In these cases, change high beam or low beam manually. When lights are similar to headlights or taillights are around When the vehicle in front of you is driving without lights When the headlights of oncoming vehicle are covered in dirt or discolored When the optical axis of the headlight of oncoming vehicle is deviated When the brightness is changed extremely and continuously When driving on an undulated or bumpy road When driving on the road with a lot of curves When there are things that strongly reflect light, such as road signs or mirrors in front of the vehicle When the rear part of the preceding vehicle strongly reflects light, such as containers When the headlights of your car are damaged or covered in dirt When the vehicle is tilted due to the flat tyres or being towed

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Other than the described above, the dual sensor cannot be detected the vehicle in front of you or light source, and there is a case where high beam assist may not activate properly. Refer to "Situations where the dual sensor may not activate properly" in this section for details.
Under the following situations, switch high beam or low beam manually, When switching back and forth between the high beams (main beams) and low beams frequently When there is a problem using the high beams (main beams) When it is considered disturbing to other drivers or pedestrians
There is a case where high beams (main beams) is switched to low beams by the fog lights of the vehicle in front of you.
Street lights, traffic signals, and illumination of billboards or signs may cause the high beams (main beams) to switch to the low beams, or low beam to remain on.

A WARNING
The detection performance of the dual sensor has limits and the dual sensor cannot detect all vehicles, pedestrian, object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.), partition lines or traffic sign. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. • Observe the following instructions in order to keep the dual sensor functioning properly. If mishandled, the dual sensor cannot accurately detect a vehicle, a pedestrian, an object of the high beam assist (such as the lights of the vehicle in front of you, street lamps, etc.) or partition lines in front of you, the system will not function properly and unexpected accidents may occur. -Do not touch the lens of the dual sensor. -Do not clean the lens of the dual sensor by yourself. -Do not strike the body of, or any surrounding parts of the dual sensor.
