LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM
Description
The Lane Departure Warning system uses a forward
looking camera located on the windshield to detect
lane markings and measure vehicle position within
the lane boundaries.
When one or both lane limits are detected and the
vehicle passes over one without an activated turn
signal, the system emits a visual as well as an
acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the line of the
lane without any intervention from the driver, the
surpassed line will light up on the display (left or
right) to urge the driver to bring the vehicle back into
the limits of the lane.
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkSense System.
Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots
before backing up. You are responsible for
safety and must continue to pay attention
to your surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
The ParkSense System is only a parking
aid and it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily
detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will
not be detected when they are in close
proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using the ParkSense System in order to be
able to stop in time when an obstacle is
detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using the ParkSense System.

CAUTION!
Projecting loads on the roof of the vehicle may
interfere with the correct operation of the
camera. Before starting, make sure the load is
correctly positioned in order not to cover the
camera operating range.
Do not cover the operating range of the camera
with stickers or other objects.
Do not tamper with nor operate on the camera.
Do not close the openings in the aesthetic
cover located under the interior rear view
mirror. In the event of a failure of the camera,
contact your authorized dealer.
The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windshield.
Camera operation may also be compro
-
mised by the presence of dust, condensa
-
tion, dirt or ice on the windshield, by traffic
conditions (e.g. vehicles that are driving
not aligned with yours, vehicle driving in a
transverse or opposite way on the same
lane, bend with a small radius of curva
-
ture), by road surface conditions and by
driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving).
Make sure the windshield is always clean.
Use specific detergents and clean cloths
to avoid scratching the windshield. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
If the windshield must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively your authorized dealer. Do not
replace the windshield on your own. It is
advisable to replace the windshield if it is
damaged in the area of the camera.
