).

• 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.

Go Alert

The go alert plays a tone and displays an alert when stopped 

traffic ahead of your vehicle starts moving again. This alert 

appears only after the vehicle ahead has moved a substantial 

distance and your vehicle has remained stopped. This can be 

useful at stop lights or in traffic delays. This feature uses the 

dash camera to detect the stopped or moving vehicle and 

requires a clear view of the road.
