the vehicle. The system does not warn of all pos-
sible hazards. For example, the system cannot
prevent an accident if the driver is impaired or
not driving safely.
The lane departure warning system is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving procedures.
Failure to drive safely and use the system prop-
erly could result in personal injury and/or death
and severe property damage.
Safety Notes
The system may be impaired or may not operate in
the following situations:
•
when there is low visibility due to insufficient
road illumination, or due to snow, rain, fog or
heavy spray
•
when there is glare due to oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight, or reflections from wet road sur-
faces
•
when the windshield in the area of the camera
is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered by a
sticker
•
when no lane markings or several varied lane
markings are present, such as in a construc-
tion zone
•
when the lane markings are worn, dark or cov-
ered, for example by dirt or snow
•
when the distance from the vehicle in front is
too small and this prevents the lane markings
from being detected
•
when the lane markings change rapidly, when
lanes branch off, or when they cross or merge
•
when lanes are very narrow or winding
•
when shade conditions on the road surface
change greatly
The driver must adapt their driving style to current
conditions. Lane departure warning cannot take the
road and weather conditions into account, nor the
prevailing traffic situation. The driver is responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, braking in good time and remaining in lane.
Functions and Activation Conditions
Lane departure warning monitors the area in front of
the vehicle with a camera that is on the top of the
windshield. When lane departure warning is activated
and it detects lane markings on the road surface, it
warns the driver that they may be leaving the lane
unintentionally.
Lane departure warning issues warnings if the speed
is above approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
When driving over lane markings unintentionally, the
volume of audio equipment like the radio and/or
hands-free systems is reduced, and a direction-
related "rumble-strip noise" sounds from the left or
right door speaker.
NOTE: While the LDW audio alert is expected
to sound through the radio speakers on any unit
with a properly installed system, the LDW alert
will only mute the radio output if the radio is
both capable of supporting a mute feature and
is properly configured.
The Detroit Assurance LDW system is designed to
warn the driver as the vehicle crosses the outer
boundary of the lane marking. This may differ from
other LDW systems which issue a warning as the
driver approaches the inside of the lane marking. If
the system warns at, or just beyond the outer edge
of the lane marking, the system is performing as de-
signed. If the warning does not occur, or occurs after
an excessive lane departure, the system may not be
operating properly.
Lane departure warning does not issue a warning if:
•
the turn signals are switched on;
•
there is braking or acceleration; or
•
a driving safety system such as ABA, Stability
Control, or ACC intervenes.
Lane departure warning will issue a warning if a turn
signal has been switched on for more than 1 minute.
Activating or Deactivating
When the engine is turned on, LDW is automatically
activated. Pressing the lane alert switch will deacti-
vate LDW temporarily. See
Fig. 5.16 .
LDW is not active if:
•
the driver presses the lane alert switch; or
•
the system is searching for a lane.
If there is a system error, the LDW telltale will illumi-
nate in the driver display. See
Fig. 5.17 .
