Lane Departure

Warning (LDW)

If equipped, LDW 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 signal in the lane departure
direction. 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 three beeps
will sound from the left or right side,
depending on the lane departure
direction. LDW will not warn if the
turn signal is on in the departure
direction, 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.
Detect lane markings and will
not detect road edges.
Warn that the vehicle is
crossing a lane marking if the
system does not detect the
lane marking.
If LDW only detects lane
markings on one side of the road,
it will only warn you when
departing the lane on the side
where it has detected a lane
marker. Even with LDW, always
keep your attention on the road

and maintain proper vehicle
