WARNINGS

The sensor may incorrectly track lane
markings such as other structures or
objects. This can result in a false or

missed warning.

In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow, spray and large

contrasts in lighting can all influence the
sensor.

The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.

The system may not operate in areas
during roadwork construction.

The system may not operate on
roads with sharp bends or narrow
lanes.

Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding
the sensor.

If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may
not function correctly.

Note: Keep the windshield free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects
and snow or ice.

Note: The system may assist you when
driving on fast main roads and freeways.

Note: The system may not operate during
hard braking or acceleration and when you
are intentionally steering your vehicle.

Note: The system will operate with a
minimum of one tracked lane marking.

Note: The system will only operate above
vehicle speeds of approximately 40 mph
(65 km/h).

The sensor is located behind the interior
mirror. It continuously monitors conditions
to alert you of unintentional lane drifting
at high speeds.

The system will automatically detect and
track the lane markings on the road. If your
vehicle unintentionally drifts toward the
road lane markings, you will see a warning
in the information display. There is also a
warning given in the form of a vibration felt
through the steering wheel.

Note: The vibration intensity from the
steering wheel may decease depending on
the quality of the road surface.
