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.
