LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LD Model) – The system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green if the system is available to assist.

If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed.

To turn on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the center of the instrument panel.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (HD Model) – When crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the system flashes an amber indicator on the instrument cluster and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected) on the side of the lane departure direction.
