  • Steering-wheel-mounted controls (left side)

The LDW system provides a lane departure warning function when the vehicle is driven at the following speeds and above, and only when the lane markings are clearly visible on the road:

  • For Europe:

    approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH)

  • Except for Europe:

    approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH)

When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the travelling lane, the steering wheel will vibrate, a chime will sound (only when Steering Assist is active) and the LDW indicator on the vehicle information display will blink to alert the driver.

The warning function will stop when the vehicle returns inside of the lane markers.

Listed below are the system limitations for the Lane Departure Warning system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

  • The system will not operate at speeds below approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH) (for Europe) or 70 km/h (45 MPH) (except for Europe), or if it cannot detect lane markers.

  • Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.

  • Do not use the LDW system under the following conditions as it may not function properly:

    • During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

    • When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow.

    • When driving on winding or uneven roads.

    • When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.

    • When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.

    • When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.

    • When driving without normal tyre conditions (for example, tyre wear, low tyre pressure, installation of spare tyre, tyre chains, non-standard wheels).

    • When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.

    • When you are towing a trailer or other vehicle.

  • The system may not function properly under the following conditions:

    • On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.

    • On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.

    • On roads where there are sharp curves.

    • On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW system could detect these items as lane markers.)

    • On roads where the travelling lane merges or separates.

    • When the vehicle's travelling direction does not align with the lane marker.

    • When travelling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range.

    • When rain, snow, dirt or object adheres to the windscreen in front of the lane camera unit.

    • When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted properly.

    • When strong light enters the lane camera unit. (For example, the light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)

    • When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
