Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

NOTE: The IPM-A contains a camera that detects the position of the vehicle in the lane.

The LDW system automatically detects and tracks the road lane markings using a camera that is mounted behind the interior rear view mirror. The system is comprised of the lane keeping aid and lane keeping alert. The lane keeping aid provides steering torque to help the driver keep the vehicle in the lane when a lane departure is detected by the IPM-A. The lane keeping alert generates vibration through the steering wheel when a lane departure is detected by the IPM-A.

The system can be turned on or off by pressing the LDW switch at any time with the key on. The last known settings for mode and on/off are recalled every time the key is turned on. If a MyKey® is in use, the system is defaulted to on and cannot be turned off. Only the mode and intensity settings can be changed when a MyKey® is present.

The LDW system only activates above 64 kmh (40 mph) and as long as one lane marking can be detected by the camera.

The system can be temporarily suppressed at any time by the following:
