Lane Keeping Aid Warning Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The lane departure warning chime only sounds to alert the driver that they have their hands off the steering wheel. Normal alerting is done through steering wheel vibrations, which cannot be felt when the drivers hands are not on the steering wheel.
The lane departure warning chime sounds to alert the driver that they have removed their hands from the steering wheel.
The IPC receives the lane departure warning chime request from the image processing module. The image processing module receives a hands off status message from the IPM-A .
The lane departure warning chime is repeated every 6 seconds or until the IPM-A detects that the driver has placed their hands back on the steering wheel.
