The LKA system may operate pre-
maturely even if the vehicle does not
depart from the intended lane, OR,

tions are poor
• It is difficult to distinguish the lane
marking from the road surface or

(e.g. tollgate)

vened

suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel or passing under a
bridge.
• The brightness outside is too low
such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel or passing
under a bridge.
• The surrounding of the inside rear

due to direct sunlight.
When front visibility is poor
• The lane number increases or
decreases or the lane marker are
crossing complicatedly.
