Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
*
Alerts you when the system determines 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 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
• The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.
• The wipers are not in continuous operation.■
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.
You can read about handling information for the 
camera equipped with this system.

The pressure displayed on the multi-information 
display can be slightly diffe rent from the actual 
pressure as measured by a gauge. If there is a 
significant difference between the  two values, or if 
the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator and the message 
on the multi-information display do not go off after 
you have inflated the tire to the specified pressure, 
have the system checked by a dealer.
Tire Pressure Monitor Problem /CHECK TPMS
