CAUTION
l LDW has its performance limitations. Do
not over-rely on the system.
l
LDW is not designed to lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ahead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side, absent-
mindedness, etc.) or poor visibility caused
by bad weather etc. Keep steering your vehi-
cle correctly and drive safely.
l The system may not be able to detect the
lane correctly in the following conditions. If
required, set the LDW switch to “OFF.”
• When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or
smeared with dirt to an extent not recog-
nizable by the system.
• When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow or fog, or
when running against the sun.
• When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway
junction.
CAUTION
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud-
dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-
cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac-
tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone.
• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
• When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be-
comes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in
front this is running too close to the mark-
ing).
• When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated-
ly.
• When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or
multiple lanes are crossing each other.
• When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
• When driving on a winding or rough road.
• When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice, etc.
CAUTION
• When passing through a place where the
brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet
or outlet of a tunnel.
• When turning steep curves.
• When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
• Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
• When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head-
lamps.
• When the vehicle is leaning much to one
side due to heavy luggage on it or improp-
erly adjusted tyre pressures.
• When oncoming vehicles’ headlamps
shine the LDW camera.
• When the vehicle is equipped with non-
standard tyres (including excessively
worn tyres and temporary spare tyre),
uses snow traction device (tyre chains), or
has non-specified components such as a
modified suspension.
• When the windscreen is covered with rain
water, snow, dust, etc.
l Follow the instructions given below to keep
your LDW in good operating conditions.
• Always keep the windscreen clean.
• Avoid applying a strong shock or pressure
to the LDW camera. Do not attempt to
disassemble it.
