LANE KEEPING SYSTEM

Lane Keeping Alert
Principle of Operation
The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace
your attention and judgment. You are
still responsible to drive with due care and
attention.
At all times, you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening, if
required. Failure to take care may result in
the loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
The system may not function if the
sensor is blocked.
The sensor may incorrectly track lane
markings 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 and spray can
all limit sensor performance.
The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.
If damage occurs in the immediate
area surrounding the sensor, have
your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
