Operation Manual

The warning systems switch will turn on and off
the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system, the
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system and the For-
ward Collision Warning (FCW) system at the
same time.
The LDW system will sound a warning chime
and blink the lane departure warning light
(orange) to alert the driver if the vehicle is
traveling close to either the left or the right of a
traveling lane with detectable lane markers.
(See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.)
The BSW system will illuminate the Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) indicator lights, located next to
the outside mirrors, when the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the de-
tected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the
BSW indicator light will flash. (See “BLIND SPOT
WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
The FCW system will sound a warning chime
and the vehicle ahead detection indicator light
blinks to alert the driver if the vehicle is travel-
ing close to the vehicle ahead. (See “FORWARD
COLLISION WARNING (FCW) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automatically
turned on when the engine is started, and the
warning systems ON indicator
䊊
1
on the switch
illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the warn-
ing systems switch to turn off the system. The
warning systems ON indicator will turn off.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.
