Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
The purpose of Lane Departure Warning
(Lane Departure Warning) is to help the driver
to reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations on
motorways and similar major routes.
Principle for LDW
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.)
A camera reads the side lines of the road/
lane.
If the car crosses one of the side lines the
driver is alerted with an acoustic signal.
NOTE
The driver is only warned once each time
the wheels cross a line. So there is no
acoustic alarm when there is a line
between the car's wheels.
WARNING
Lane assistance is merely a driver aid and
does not engage in all driving situations or
traffic, weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.
