LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
Precautions on LDW system
WARNING
● This system is only a warning device to in-
form the driver of a potential unintended
lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s re-
sponsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep
the vehicle in the traveling lane, and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
● The system will not operate at speeds below
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) or if it can-
not detect lane markers.
● If the LDW system malfunctions, it will can-
cel automatically, and the lane departure
warning light (orange) will illuminate.
● If the lane departure warning light (orange)
illuminates, pull off the road to a safe loca-
tion and stop the vehicle. Turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the lane departure
warning light (orange) continues to illumi-
nate, have the system checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
The system may not function properly under the
following conditions:
● On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane
markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
● On roads where the discontinued lane mark-
ers are still detectable.
● On roads where there are sharp curves.
● On roads where there are sharply contrast-
ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system could detect
these items as lane markers.)
● On roads where the traveling lane merges or
separates.
● When the vehicle’s traveling direction does
not align with the lane marker.
● When traveling close to the vehicle in front
of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit
detection range.
● When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the
windshield in front of the lane camera unit.
● When the headlights are not bright due to
dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not
adjusted properly.
● When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines
on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
● When a sudden change in brightness occurs.
(For example, when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
