WARNING

The Low Speed Braking Control System

cannot avoid all collisions and may not

reduce damage in each situation where the

accelerator is mistakenly or aggressively

pressed. Overreliance on the system may

result in a collision with serious injury or

death. Always check your surroundings,

your shift position, and your pedal use.

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

1Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle

unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings and/or leaving the roadway

altogether.

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has

limitations.

Overreliance on the RDM system may result in a

collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the

vehicle within your driving lane.

How the System Works

■

The front camera behind the rearview mirror

monitors left and right lane markings (in white

or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close

to detected lane markings without a turn

signal activated, the system, in addition to a

visual alert, applies steering torque and alerts

you with rapid vibrations on the steering

wheel, to help you remain within the detected

lane.

The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is

detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM

system may not detect all lane markings or lane or

roadway departures; accuracy will vary based on

weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is

always your responsibility to safely operate the

vehicle and avoid collisions.

You can read about handling information for the

camera equipped with this system.

1Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

As a visual alert, the Lane Departure

message appears on the driver information

interface.

The RDM system may not work properly or may work

improperly under the certain conditions:

2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 496

There are times when you may not notice RDM

functions due to your operation of the vehicle, or

road surface conditions.

If the system determines that its steering input is insufficient to keep your vehicle on

the roadway, it may apply braking.

u Braking is applied only when the lane markings are solid continuous lines.

The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid

crossing over detected lane markings.

In the following case, a beeper sounds, a message

related to the ACC with Low Speed Follow appears

on the driver information interface, and the braking

function controlled by the RDM system is canceled.

• The vehicle has repeatedly applied the brakes to

maintain the set speed (for example, you are

descending a long slope).

If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system

beeps to alert you.
