5. Driving guide
NOTE
The condition that the driver’s hands are
lightly holding on the steering wheel may be
misinterpreted by the system as the steering
wheel out-of-hand. In this case, when the
system issues a steering wheel hands-on
reminder, the driver only needs to hold the
steering wheel tightly or shake the steering
wheel slightly, so that the system can detect
the torque applied to the steering wheel.
Afterwards, the hands-on reminder will
disappear.
Other indications
When it is detected that the camera is
inoperative, a text message reading “The sight
of front cameras is blocked” will pop up on the
instrument cluster.
Usually, it is caused by dirty windshield glass
or the camera directly exposed sunlight. The
lane departure warning system will not be
damaged on that and it does not need to be
overhauled.
The driver may try to clean the front windshield
by spraying water on it and activating the
windshield wiper.
When a fault is detected, the message reading
“Please check the LDW” will pop up on the
instrument cluster and the indicator lamp
turns red. In this case, please go to the GAC
Motor authorized shop for inspection in time.
Function limitations
The lane departure warning system may
wrongly detect a lane marking or not detect
any lane marking at all due to inevitable
environmental factors and conditions even if
it is activated and working. The system may
become affected or inoperative under the
following conditions:
-
Poor line of sight, such as snow, rain, fog
or water spots.
-
Dirty or foggy windshield, or obstruction in
front of the windshield camera.
-
Overtemperature around the camera due
to direct sunlight.
-
Glare due to direct sunlight, oncoming
traffic, reflected light from road water-
logging, etc.
-
Sudden changes in outdoor brightness,
such as entering/exiting tunnels.
-
Headlamp not turned on at night or when
the light illumination is low in tunnels.
-
N o l a n e m a r k i n g , o r d i ff i c u l t y i n
