LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP) SYSTEM Precautions on LDP system WARNING ● The LDP system will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of vehicle at all times. ● The LDP system is primarily intended for use on well-developed freeways or highways. It may not detect the lane markers in certain roads, weather or driving conditions. ● Using the LDP system under some conditions of road, lane marker or weather, or when you change lanes without using the lane change signal could lead to an unexpected system operation. In such conditions, you need to correct the vehicle's direction with your steering operation to avoid accidents. ● When the LDP system is operating, avoid excessive or sudden steering maneuvers. Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehicle. ● The LDP system will not operate at speeds below approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers. ● The LDP system may not function properly under the following conditions, and do not use the LDP system: - During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.). - When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc. - When driving on winding or uneven roads. - When there is a lane closure due to road repairs. - When driving in a makeshift lane. - When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow. - When driving without normal tire conditions (for example, tire wear, low tire pressure, installation of spare tire, tire chains, non-standard wheels). - When the vehicle is equipped with nonoriginal brake parts or suspension parts. ● If the LDP system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically. The lane departure warning light (orange) on the instrument panel will illuminate. ● If the lane departure warning light (orange) illuminates, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off and restart the engine. If the warning light (orange) continues to illuminate, have the LDP system checked by an INFINITI retailer. ● Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard. The functions of the LDP system (warning and brake control assist) may or may not operate properly under the following conditions: ● On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc. ● On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable. ● On roads where there are sharp curves. ● On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, Starting and driving 5-21
