Lane Keeping System(If Equipped)

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING

WARNING: The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other

structures or objects. This can result in

a false or missed warning.

SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by

providing temporary steering assistance

or steering wheel vibration when it detects

an unintended lane departure.

WARNING: In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not

function. Rain, snow and spray can all

limit sensor performance.

HOW DOES THE LANE

KEEPING SYSTEM WORK

WARNING: The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.

Keep the windshield free from

obstruction.

The lane keeping system uses a forward

looking camera mounted on the windshield

to monitor vehicle movement within the

travel lane.

When the camera detects a drift out of the

travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts

the driver by vibrating the steering wheel,

or aids the driver by providing a small

steering input to move the vehicle back

into the travel lane.

WARNING:Ifdamageoccursinthe

immediate area surrounding the sensor,

have your vehicle checked as soon as

possible.

WARNING: The system may not

correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted

with a suspension kit not approved by

us.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert (If Equipped)

Aid

Alert + Aid

WARNING: Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor

performance.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM

PRECAUTIONS

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM

LIMITATIONS

The lane keeping system only operates

when the vehicle speed is greater than

40 mph (64 km/h).

WARNING: You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The

system is designed to be an aid and does

not relieve you of your responsibility to

drive with due care and attention. Failure

to follow this instruction could result in

the loss of control of your vehicle,

personal injury or death.

The system works when the camera can

detect at least one lane marking.

Note: When you select Aid or Alert and Aid

mode and the system detects no steering

activity for a short period of time, the system

alerts you to put your hands on the steering

wheel. The system may detect a light grip

or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off

driving.

WARNING: The system will not

operate if the sensor cannot track the

road lane markings.
