CAUTION
■
Before using the LKA system
Do not rely solely on the LKA system. The LKA system does not drive the vehicle
automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the
driver must always assume full responsibility for understanding his/her surround-
ings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving
safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
■
To avoid operating the LKA by mistake
Switch the LKA off using the “LKA” switch when not in use.
■
Situations unsuitable for LKA
Do not use LKA in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
●
When driving with snow tires, tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
●
When the tires have been excessively worn, or when the tire inflation pressure is

preted as lane markers (such as guardrails, curb, reflector posts, etc.)
