Cadillac STS-V 2008 Manual page 89

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.
How the System Works
LDW uses a camera located between the inside
rearview mirror and the windshield to detect the
lane markings.
@
(Lane Departure Warning): To turn LDW on and
off, press the CONFIG hard key. Press the symbol
screen button to turn it on and off. The symbol will
be highlighted when the feature is active.
When the vehicle is started, the LDW symbol,
located in the instrument panel cluster, will briefly
come on to indicate that the light is operational.
