Precautions for Lane Departure Warning


REAR VIEW CAMERA HANDLING

The rear camera unit "1" for the LDW/BSW systems is located above the rear license plate.
To keep the proper operation of the LDW systems and prevent a system malfunction, be sure to observe the following:
- Always keep the camera lens clean. Be careful not to damage the nozzle of the automatic washer and blower.
- Do not attach "license plate accessories" that reflect light.





- Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)

- LDW system is only a warning device to inform the driver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the drivers responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
- The camera unit may not detect properly under the following conditions:
- When towing a trailer.
- When strong light enters the camera unit. (For example, direct sunlight or headlight from the rear.)
- When ambient light changes instantly. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or passes under a bridge.)
- Automatic washer and blower may not be able to secure detection capability when excessive dirt adheres on the camera lens.
- Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
- The camera unit may not be able to detect 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 or snow, etc.
- On roads where the 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, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW system could detect these items as lane markers.)
- On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
- When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
- When the road surface is very dark due to scarce ambient light or impaired tail lamp.
- When driving on a curved road, warning will be late on the outside of the curve due to the nature of the system.
