WARNING
■
Before using the LDA
Do not over rely on the LDA. The LDA does not drive the vehicle automati-
cally, 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 sur-
roundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and
for driving safely. Also, take occasional rests from fatigue due to driving over
long periods of time, etc.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an unexpected accident.
■
To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA off using the LDA switch when not in use. (P. 228)
■
Situations unsuitable for LDA
Do not use the LDA in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an
accident.
●
When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
●
When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be mis-
interpreted as lane markers (such as guardrails, a curb, reflector posts,
etc.)
●
When driving on snowy roads
●
When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog,
sand, dirt, etc.
●
When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the
remains of old lane markers are still visible on the road
●
When driving through construction areas
