WARNING

Before using the LDA system

■
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA 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 under-
standing his/her surroundings, 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 system by mistake
■
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
(→P. 217)
