Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Lane Departure Warning is one of the func-
tions in the Driver Alert System - sometimesalso referred to as LDW (Lane DepartureWarning). The function is intended for use on motor- ways and similar major roads in order toreduce the risk of the vehicle accidentallyleaving its own lane in certain situations.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKAVolvo has developed two different systemsfor lane keeping assistance:
• LDW -
Lane Departure Warning which
only warns the driver.
• LKA -
Lane Keeping Aid(Lane Keeping Aid) which, in addition to warning the driver, also actively steers thecar.
The Volvo V60 can be supplied with both vari- ants - market and engine alternatives deter-mine which of the systems the car is equip-ped with. In the event of uncertainty whether the car has LDW or LKA:

system - which specifies Lane
Departure Warning whether the car has
LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LDW
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.) LDW consists of a camera that detects the side lines painted on the road/lane. If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand side line of the carriageway without duecause then the driver is alerted by an acousticsignal.
NOTE
The driver is only warned once each time the wheels cross a line. So there is noacoustic alarm when there is a linebetween the car's wheels.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) - function
Certain settings can be made for the Lane Departure Warning function.
Off & On
LDW is engaged or disengaged using a but- ton on the centre console. An indicator lampin the button illuminates when the function isswitched on. This function is complemented in the com- bined instrument panel with intuitive graphicsin different situations.
Personal preferencesSettings are made from the centre console'sscreen via the menu system in MY CAR. For
a description of the menu system, see MYCAR (p. 103). Select from the options: •
On at start-up - The function enters
standby mode every time the engine is started. Otherwise the same value aswhen the engine was switched off isobtained.
•
Increased sensitivity - The sensitivity
increases, an alarm is triggered earlier and fewer limitations apply.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) - operation
LDW is complemented in the combined instrument panel with intuitive graphics in dif-ferent situations. Here are some examples:
The LDW function's side lines (marked in red in the figure).
• The LDW symbol has WHITE side lines - the function is active and detects/"sees"one side line, or both.
• The LDW symbol has GREY side lines -the function is active but detects neitherleft nor right side line.
or
• The LDW symbol has GREY side lines -the function is in standby mode becausethe speed is below 65 km/h.
• The LDW symbol has no side lines - thefunction is deactivated.

NOTE
There are some situations where LDW does not give any warning, such as:
• Direction indicators are switched on
• The driver has his/her foot on the brake pedal 20
• In the event of rapid depression of theaccelerator pedal 20
• In the event of rapid steering wheelmovements 20
• If turning is so sharp that the car rolls.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in the Driver Alert System - sometimes alsoreferred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid). The function is intended for use on motor- ways and similar major roads in order toreduce the risk of the vehicle accidentallyleaving its own lane in certain situations.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKAVolvo has developed two different systemsfor lane keeping assistance:
• LDW -
Lane Departure Warning which
only warns the driver.
• LKA -

system - which specifies Lane
Departure Warning whether the car has
LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LKA
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.) A camera detects the painted the side lines of the road/lane. If the car is about to cross aside line, the Lane Keeping Aid will activelysteer the car back into the lane with a slightsteering torque in the steering wheel. If the car reaches or crosses a side line, the Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver withpulsating vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not engage in all driving situations or traffic,weather or road conditions. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely and that applicable laws and roadtraffic regulations are followed.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - function
Certain settings can be made for the Lane Departure Warning function.
Off & OnThe Lane Keeping Aid is active within thespeed interval 65-200 km/h on roads withclearly visible side lines. The function is tem-porarily deactivated on narrow roads withless than 2.6 metres between the lane's sidelines.
Press the button in the centre console to acti- vate or deactivate the function. The functionis switched on if one lamp is illuminated in thebutton. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for an On/Offbutton in the centre console - in which casethe function is instead handled in the car'smenu system
MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 103). In addition, the following selections can be made in MY CAR :
• Warning with vibration in the steering wheel: -
On or Off.
• Active steering: -
On or Off.
• Both, Warning with vibration in the steer- ing wheel and Active steering: -
On orOff.
Active steeringThe Lane Keeping Aid strives to keep the car within the side lines for the lane.
LKA intervenes and steers away.
If the vehicle approaches the left or right side line of the lane and the direction indicator is not activated, the car is steered back into thelane.
Warning with vibration in steering wheel
LKA steers and warns with pulsating steering wheel vibration
21
.
If the vehicle crosses a side line, the Lane Keeping Aid warns the driver with pulsatingvibration in the steering wheel. This occursregardless of whether the car is activelysteered back by applying a slight steering tor-que.
21 The figure shows 3 pulsating vibration when the side line is crossed.

Dynamic cornering
LKA does not intervene in sharp inside bends. In certain cases, the Lane Keeping Aid allows the car to cross side lines without engagingactive steering or warning with pulsatingvibration in the steering wheel. Using an adja-cent lane for dynamic cornering when there isa clear line of vision is an example of onesuch case.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - operation
Lane Keeping Aid is supplemented with self- explanatory graphics in different situations.Here are some examples:
NOTE
LKA is temporarily deactivated for as long as the direction indicator is switched on.
LKA "sees" and follows the side lines (marked in red in the figure).
If the Lane Keeping Aid is active and detects/"sees" the side lines, the LKA symbolindicates this with WHITE lines.
• GREY side line - the Lane Keeping Aid does not see a line on that side of the car.
LKA intervenes on the right-hand side (marked in red in the figure).
The Lane Keeping Aid intervenes and steers away from the side line - this is indicatedwith:
• RED line for the side in question.

Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - limitations
The Lane Keeping Aid camera sensor is restricted in a similar way to the human eye.
• For more information, read about camera sensor limitations (p. 220) and seeColli-sion warning system* - operation (p. 217).
NOTE
In certain demanding situations LKA may find it difficult to assist the driver correctly- in which case it is recommended thatLKA is switched off. Examples of such a situation could be:
• roadworks
• winter road conditions
• poor road surface
• very sporty driving style
• poor weather with reduced visibility.
Hands on the steering wheelIn order for Lane Keeping Aid to operate, the driver must have his/her hands on the steer-ing wheel. LKA continually monitors this. Ifhands are not detected on the steering wheelthen a text message is shown, prompting thedriver to actively steer the car. If the driver does not follow the request to begin steering, Lane Keeping Aid goes intostandby mode and will remain in this modeuntil the driver begins to steer the car again.
