uuWhen DrivinguLane Departure Warning (LDW)
Continued
Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)Alerts you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally
crossing over detected lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected
left or right side lane markings without a turn
signal activated, LDW will give audible and
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display, letting you know that you need to
take appropriate action.
The system begins to search for lane markings when all the following conditions are met:
•The vehicle is traveling between at 40-90 mph (64-145 km/h).
•The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
•The turn signals are off.
•The brake pedal is not depressed.■
How the System Works
1Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is
always your responsibility to keep the vehicle within
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. LDW may not detect all
lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary
based on weather, speed and lane marker condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.

Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes FlatTemporarily Repairing a Flat TireIf the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
