Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

For vehicles with LDW, it is intended to help avoid unintentional lane departures. It may provide a warning if the vehicle is crossing a lane without using a turn signal. LDW uses a camera sensor to detect the lane markings. It only operates at speeds of 56 km (35 mph) or greater.

The LDW indicator, @, appears green if a lane marking is detected. It changes to amber, flashes, and sounds three chimes if the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking without using the turn signal.

To turn LDW on and off, press the LANE DEPART button, located on the steering wheel.
