WARNING
■
Before using the LCA system
●
Do not overly rely on the LCA system.
The LCA system is a system which provides automated assistance in driving. However,
as it is not a system which reduces the need for checking an adjacent lane for
other vehicles, approaching vehicles, etc. when changing lanes. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to their surroundings and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure safety.
Also, do not use the LCA to change lanes into which a lane change should not be
performed (oncoming lanes, road shoulders, etc.).
Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead
●
to an accident.
