Lane departure warning

9 Warning
The lane departure warning
system is an aid to help the vehicle
stay in the driving lane. It does not
steer the vehicle.
The lane departure warning
system may not provide enough
time to avoid a crash and may not
detect lane markings and
therefore not warn when the
vehicle is crossing a lane marking.
If the lane departure warning
system only detects lane markings
on one side of the road, it will only
warn when departing the lane on
this side.
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane. Always
keep the windscreen clean and do
not use lane departure warning
system in bad weather conditions.
The lane departure warning may help
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures. It may provide a
warning if the vehicle is crossing a
detected lane marker without using a
turn and lane-change signal. The lane
departure warning uses a camera
sensor to detect the lane markings.
When the vehicle crosses a detected
lane marking, the lane departure
warning indicator will flash and three
beeps will sound from the left or right
side, depending on the lane
departure direction. The lane
departure warning will not warn if the
turn and lane-change signal is on or if
a sharp manoeuvre is made.
The camera sensor is on the
windscreen ahead of the interior
mirror.
To turn the lane departure warning
system on and off, press the LANE
