tion to the surrounding condi-
tions and operating the steering
wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must
take adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as from driving
for a long period of time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.

LTA switch to turn the system off.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.

face which is slippery due to
rainy weather, fallen snow,
freezing, etc.
