  1. State laws may apply; review local laws before using.
  2. Intelligent Driver Alertness cannot provide a warning in every situation. See Owner's Manual for safety information.
  3. Driver-assist and safety features have limitations which affect how they function in certain situations. The driver must never rely exclusively on any vehicle feature to warn about, prevent, or lessen the severity of a collision.  It is the driver's responsibility to always be in control, monitor the surroundings, and safely operate the vehicle. Read your vehicle's Owner's Manual for further information.
