warning beeps.
.

weather conditions or if the
windshield is dirty.
.
Detect lane markings and will
not detect road edges.

WARNING (Continued)
.
Warn that the vehicle is
crossing a lane marking if the
system does not detect the
lane marking.
LDW will operate even if it only
detects lane markings on one
side of the road. It will not warn if
the vehicle departs the lane from
the side where it has not detected
a lane marker. The vehicle
position must be maintained
within the lane or, vehicle
damage, injury, or death could
occur. Even with LDW, always
keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane. Always
keep the windshield clean and do
not use LDW in bad weather
conditions.
