LDWS icon on cluster display
Warnings consist of audible and visual warnings
with spatial indication about the direction of
unintended drift of the vehicle.
In order to make the warning more audible,
system mutes radio and stops the blowers of air
conditioning system until the end of the warning.
• If unintended lane departure is detected from
left lane marking, LDWS page, shown in the
figure above, will pop-up with a blinking left
lane marking, a blinking LDWS warning lamp
and an intermittent warning sound coming
from left hand side will be activated.
• If unintended lane departure is detected from
right lane marking, LDWS icon shown above
will pop-up with a blinking right lane marking,
a blinking LDWS warning lamp and an
intermittent warning sound coming from right
hand side will be activated.
Once LDWS has issued a warning, further warnings
will only be issued when the vehicle is once again
fully within the lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off
When the ignition is turned ON, LDWS will be
automatically active unless there is no error.
To switch off, press the LDWS button
LDWS warning lamp will light up constantly on
the instrument cluster.
To switch the system back on, press the LDWS
button once again and visually verify that LDWS
warning lamp on the instrument cluster turns off.
The system is configured to warn on unintended
lane departures only. Driver's awareness of the
situation is monitored via driver inputs listed below.
If these driver inputs explicitly show that there is
an attentive driver, lane departure warnings are
suppressed.
• Rate of lane departure, i.e. how fast is the
lane being departed
• Brake pedal usage
• Steering wheel turning rate, i.e. how fast the
steering wheel is turned
• Direction indicator activation for the side lane
being departed
