resulting in an accident.

The functions of the LDWS have limitations:
Always stay on course using the steering wheel and drive with care. The system is not
designed to compensate for a driver's lack of caution and if you rely too much on the

other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling
and the vehicle's surroundings.
