Lane departure prevention
(if equipped)
When you are driving on the road with the
lane lines maintained, such as a highway
or freeway, the dual sensor detects the left
and right lane line and if the sensor judges
that your vehicle nears either of the left
and right lane line, the system will assist
the steering operation to prevent lane
departure.
