markers and, as a result, may have limited functionality in low
visibility conditions.
The LDWS feature alerts you when the device detects you may
be crossing a lane boundary unintentionally. For example, the
device alerts you if you cross some solid painted lane
boundaries or cross into an incoming traffic lane. The LDWS
feature provides alerts only when your vehicle speed exceeds
64 km/h (40 mph). The alert appears on the left or right side of
the screen to indicate which lane boundary you crossed.
NOTE: For the best LDWS performance, you should set the
Camera Placement option to indicate the location of your device
in the vehicle.

Lane Departure Warning Performance Tips
Several factors affect the performance of the lane departure
warning system (LDWS). Some conditions may prevent the
LDWS feature from detecting lane departures.
• The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your vehicle
speed exceeds 64 km/h (40 mph).
• The LDWS feature does not provide alerts on certain types of
roads, such as highway ramps or merging lanes.
• The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera is
incorrectly aligned ( Aligning the Camera , page 3 ).
• The LDWS feature may not function properly if the Camera
Placement option does not correctly indicate the placement
of your device in the vehicle.
• The LDWS feature requires a clear, continuous view of the
lane divider lines.
◦ Lane departures may not be detected when divider lines
are obscured by rain, fog, snow, extreme shadows, sun or
headlight glare, road construction, or any other visual
obstruction.
◦ Lane departures may not be detected if lane divider lines
are misaligned, missing, or heavily worn.
• The LDWS feature may not detect lane departures on
extremely wide, narrow, or winding roads.
