Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*

Lane Departure Warning is one of the func-
tions in the Driver Alert System - sometimes
also referred to as LDW (Lane Departure
Warning).
The function is intended for use on motor-
ways and similar major roads in order to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKA
Volvo has developed two different systems
for lane keeping assistance:
•
LDW - Lane Departure Warning
only warns the driver.
•
Lane Keeping Aid
LKA -
(Lane Keeping Aid) which, in addition to
warning the driver, also actively steers the
car.
The Volvo V60 can be supplied with both vari-
ants - market and engine alternatives deter-
mine which of the systems the car is equip-
ped with.
In the event of uncertainty whether the car
has LDW or LKA:

Principle for LDW
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)
which
LDW consists of a camera that detects the
side lines painted on the road/lane.
If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand
side line of the carriageway without due
cause then the driver is alerted by an acoustic
signal.
NOTE
The driver is only warned once each time
the wheels cross a line. So there is no
acoustic alarm when there is a line
between the car's wheels.

WARNING
LDW is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.
