1824-5. Using the driving support systems
The LDA system warns the
driver if the vehicle may deviate
from the current lane or course
*,
and also can slightly operate the
steering wheel to help avoid
deviation from the lane or
course
*.
The front camera is used to
detect lane lines or a course
*.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures,
such as a curb, guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure alert func-
tion
When the system determines
that the vehicle might depart
from its lane or course
*, a warn-
ing is displayed on a display,
and either a warning buzzer will
sound or the steering wheel will
vibrate to alert the driver.
Check the area around your vehicle
and carefully operate the steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to
the center of the lane or course
*.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system
determines that the vehicle may
collide with a vehicle in an adjacent
lane, the lane de parture alert will
operate even if the turn signals are
operating.
*: Boundary between the asphalt and grass, soil, etc., or structures, such as a curb,
guardrail, etc.
■Lane departure prevention
function
If the system determines that
the vehicle is likely to depart
from its lane or course
*, it pro-
vides assistance through steer-
ing wheel operations to help
avoid deviation from the lane or
course.
If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, a warning message
may be displayed and a warning
buzzer may sound to alert the
driver.
Vehicles with BSM: If the system

WARNING
■Before using the LDA system
●Do not overly re ly on the LDA
system. The LDA system is not
a system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving and
it is not a system which reduces
the amount of attention neces-
sary for safe drivi ng. The driver
is solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure
safety. Also, the driver is
responsible for taking adequate
breaks when fatigued, such as
when driving for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
