— When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs. (For example, when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
While the LDP system is operating, you may
hear a sound of brake operation. This is
normal and indicates that the LDP system is
operating properly.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE
Condition A:
The warning and assist functions of the LDP
system are not designed to work under the
following conditions:
. When you operate the lane change signal
and change the traveling lanes in the
direction of the signal. (The LDP system
will be deactivated for approximately 2
seconds after the lane change signal is
turned off.)
. When the vehicle speed lowers to less
than approximately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are sa-
tisfied, the warning and assist functions will
resume. Condition B:
The assist function of the LDP system is not
designed to work under the following con-
ditions (warning is still functional):
.
When the brake pedal is depressed.
. When the steering wheel is turned as far
as necessary for the vehicle to change
lanes.
. When the vehicle is accelerated during
the LDP system operation.
. When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
approach warning occurs (if so
equipped).
. When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
. When driving on a curve at high speed.
Action to take:
After the above conditions have finished and
the necessary operating conditions are sa-
tisfied, the LDP system application of the
brakes will resume.
Condition C:
If the following message appears in the
vehicle information display, a chime will
sound and the LDP system will be turned
off automatically.
. "Not Available: Poor Road Conditions":
— When the VDC system (except TCS function) or ABS operates. .
"Currently unavailable/Currently not
available":
— When the VDC system is turned off.
— When the SNOW mode switch is turned on.
— When the 4WD shift switch is in the 4H or 4L position (for 4WD models).
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
turn off the LDP system. Push the dynamic
driver assistance switch again to turn the
LDP system back on.
Temporary disabled status at high tem-
perature:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over
approximately 104°F (40°C)) and then the
LDP system is turned on, the LDP system
may be deactivated automatically and the
following message will appear on the vehicle
information display:
. “Not Available: High Camera Temp”
When the interior temperature is reduced,
the system will resume operating automati-
cally.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.

5-46Starting and driving
.The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away. .
The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may oc-
casionally be detected. This is a
normal operation condition.
. The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect
other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the BSI system may not operate
properly.
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc. — On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after
road repairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane markers.
— When traveling close to the ve- hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit
detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a lane
camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or
if aiming is not adjusted properly.
— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
Page 351 of 590

— When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
. Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
— During bad weather. (For exam- ple: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
— When driving on winding or un- even roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering parts or sus-
pension parts. — When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.
