When performing service work or fault-finding, use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function, refer to appropriate System Wiring Diagram Information.
A camera on the interior rearview mirror detects lane marker lines. If the vehicle approaches a known marker line, the driver is notified that the vehicle is leaving the lane unintentionally. The system attempts to correct the steering to keep the vehicle in the lane.
The system is designed for driving on freeways and highways so it only works at speeds of approximately 65 km/h and above. The system is ready for use when it detects the lane marker lines on both sides of the vehicle. This is indicated by a green indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the turn signal is activated before driving over a marker line, the warning is not given because the system assumes this is an intentional lane change.
The driver can override the corrective steering at any time if necessary.
Switching the system off in situations that require increased driver attention is recommended. These include:
- a very sporty driving style.
- poor weather conditions.
- poor road conditions or road surfaces.
