monitors left and right lane markings in white
or yellow, the outer edge of the pavement
(bordered by grass or gravel) or a detected
oncoming vehicles.
If your vehicle approaches any detected lane
markings, the outer edge of the pavement
(bordered by grass or gravel) or a detected
oncoming vehicles when the turn signals have
not been engaged, the system activates.u If the system cannot de tect lane markings
(in white or yellow), no assistance will be
provided to avoid approaching oncoming
vehicles. In addition to a visual alert, the

■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Overreliance on the Road Departure Mitigation
system may result in a collision. It is always your

The Road Departure Mitiga tion system alerts you
when the system detects that you are approaching
the outer edge of the paveme nt (into grass or gravel
border), an oncoming vehicle, or drifting into another
lane without using a turn signal.
The Road Departure Miti gation system may not
detect all lane markings or every instance of lane
drift.
The Road Departure Miti gation system may not
detect that you are approa ching the outer edge of
the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel) or an
oncoming vehicle.
The Road Departure Mitiga tion system may not be
able to assist you depend ing on weather, speed or
road conditions.
