vehicle and provides and early warn-
ing to the driver.

your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is about 6 mph (10

cle, the system will not warn you.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
When a vehicle approaches you
at high speed, the system will
warn you.

When your vehicle moves rear-
ward, and the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle in the left or
right side, the system will warn
you.
