Lane Departure

Warning (LDW)
The vehicle may have an LDW
system. Read this entire section
before using the system.
LDW may help avoid crashes due to
unintentional lane departures. It may
provide a warning if the vehicle is
crossing a lane without using a turn
signal. LDW uses a camera sensor
to detect the lane markings. It only
operates at speeds of 56 km/h
(35 mph) or greater.
When the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking, the LDW
indicator will flash and either three
beeps will be sounded from the left
or right, depending on the lane
departure direction. LDW will not
warn if the turn signal is on or if a
sharp maneuver is made.
WARNING
The LDW system is an aid to help
the vehicle stay in the driving
lane. It does not steer the vehicle.
The LDW system may not:
Provide enough time to avoid
a crash.
Detect lane markings under
bad weather conditions or if
the windshield is dirty.

not detect road edges.
Warn that the vehicle is
crossing a lane marking if the
