Other indications
When the system detects that the camera is
inoperative, the message "The lane departure
warning system is temporarily unavailable" pop
ups 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 windshield glass by
spraying water on it and activating the windscreen
wiper.
When the system detects a fault, the message
"Please check the lane departure warning system"
pops up on the instrument cluster and the
indicator lamp lights up red.
NOTE
If the message "Please check the lane
departure warning system" pops up on the
instrument cluster, which indicates that the
system is faulty, please go to the GAC Motor
authorized shop for inspection in time.
Functional limitation
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 the lane departure
warning system is activated and working. The
system may be 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 is low in tunnels.
–
No lane marking, or difficulty in distinguishing
the lane marking color from the road surface
color.
–
unobvious, too thin, worn, blurred or
dirt/snow-covered lane markings.
–
too wide or narrow lanes.
–
increase or decrease in the number of lanes,
or complicated routing of lane markings.
–
More than two lane markings on the left and
right sides of the car.
–
marks or objects similar to lane markings on
roads.
–
isolation strips or other objects casting
shadows on lane markings.
–
short-term change of marking, such as ramp
or highway exit.
–
driving on steep slopes or curved roads.
–
close distance from the vehicle in front or lane
markings blocked by the vehicle in front.
