NOTE
l
If the sensor or its surrounding area reaches
an extremely high temperature when parking
the vehicle under a blazing sun, the “LDW
SERVICE REQUIRED” message may ap-
pear.
If the message remains even after the tem-
perature of the sensor or its surrounding area
has been in range, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
CAUTION
l
LDW has its performance limitations. Do
not over-rely on the system.
CAUTION
l
LDW is not designed to lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ahead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side, absent-
mindedness, etc.) or poor visibility caused
by bad weather etc. Keep steering your vehi-
cle correctly and drive safely.
l
The system may not operate correctly in the
following conditions. If required, set the
LDW switch to “OFF.”
•
When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or
smeared with dirt to an extent not recog-
nizable by the system.
•
When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow, fog or
dark area, or when running against the
sun.
•
When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway
junction.
•
When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud-
dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-
cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac-
tors.
•
When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
•
When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone.
CAUTION
•
When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
•
When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be-
comes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in
front this is running too close to the mark-
ing).
•
When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated-
ly.
•
When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or
multiple lanes are crossing each other.
•
When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
•
When driving on a winding or rough road.
•
When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice, etc.
•
When passing through a place where the
brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet
or outlet of a tunnel.
•
When turning steep curves.
•
When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
•
Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
•
When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head-
lamps.
