Lane Departure Warning (LDW)–
introduction
This function is designed to help reduce the
risk of accidents in situations where the vehi-
cle leaves its lane and there is a risk of driving
off the road or into the opposite lane. LDW
consists of a camera that monitors the lane’s
side marker lines. The driver is alerted by an
audible signal if the vehicle crosses a side
marker line or the road’s center dividing line.
Operation and function
LDW can be switched on or off by pressing
the button on the center console. A light in
the button illuminates when the function is
on. This is supplemented by graphic displays
in the instrument panel, for example:
