4-5. Using the driving support systems

CAUTION

■

Before using the LDA system

Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the vehicle

automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the

driver must always assume full responsibility for understanding his/her surround-

ings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving

safely.

Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.

■

To avoid operating the LDA by mistake

Switch the LDA system off using the “LDA” switch when not in use.

■

Situations unsuitable for LDA system

Do not use LDA system in any of the following situations.

Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.

●

When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment

●

When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinter-

preted as lane markers (such as guardrails, curb, reflector posts, etc.)

●

When driving on snowy roads

●

When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, etc.

●

When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the remains

of old lane markers are still visible on the road

●

When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving

in a temporary lane
