Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

The LDWS notifies the driver that the vehicle might be deviating from its lane.

The LDWS detects white (yellow) lines using the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). If your vehicle may be deviating from its lane, the lane departure warning notifies the driver.

 

Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle on roads with white (yellow) lines.

 

Do not rely completely on the LDWS and always drive carefully:

  • The LDWS is not designed to compensate for a driver’s lack of caution and relying too much on the system could lead to an accident.

  • The functions of the LDWS have limitations. Always stay on course using the steering wheel.

  • The vehicle is shaken after hitting a road bump.
