Lane Departure Warning - Buick 2008 Lucerne Owner's Manual

Lane Departure Warning

Your vehicle may have a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system. Read this entire section before using the system.
CAUTION:
{
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
does not steer the vehicle and is only an aid to
help you stay in your driving lane. The LDW
system may not:
•
Provide you with enough time to avoid a
lane change collision.
•
Be loud enough for you to hear the
warning beeps.
•
Work properly under bad weather
conditions or if the windshield is not kept
clean.
•
Detect lane markings and will not detect
road edges.
•
Warn you that your vehicle is crossing a
lane marking if the system does not detect
the lane marking.

CAUTION: (Continued)
LDW will indicate the system is working
whenever it detects either the left or right lane
marking. So if you depart on the side of the
lane that LDW is not detecting, LDW will not
warn you.
If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle
position within the lane, vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Even with LDW,
always keep your attention on the road and
maintain proper vehicle position within the
lane. Always keep the windshield clean and do
not use LDW in bad weather conditions.
When you cross a detected lane marking, the LDW
symbol will flash and you will hear three beeps. LDW will
not warn you if your turn signal is on or if you make a
sharp maneuver. Before making a lane change,
check your vehicle's mirrors, glance over your shoulder
for vehicles and hazards, and start your turn signal
before changing lanes.
