When the vehicle has been parked in the sun

The LDA system may not be available for a while after driving has started. In such

cases, turn the LDA system off and turn it on again after normal temperature

returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and the temperature around

the camera sensor becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to

operate.

CAUTION

■

Before using the LDA system

This system provides information to the driver in accordance with the road geome-

try and the driving conditions. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, correct

the driving path while driving appropriately and be responsible for your own safety.

This system operates by using the camera to identify lane markers when the LDA

switch is on and the vehicle is being driven at the system operating speed.

Operation may be temporarily suspended if the camera cannot recognize the lane

markers or if the system cannot operate due to the road environment or driving

conditions. Also, since an alarm may sound unnecessarily if the lane markers cannot

be correctly identified, make sure to drive responsibly even while the system is

operating.

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the driver will be alerted by a buzzer and a dis-

play, and LDA operation will be temporarily suspended. However, this does not

present a problem to normal driving.

If the alert is displayed even after restarting the engine, have your vehicle inspected

by your Lexus dealer.
