Lane Departure Warning

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

Crashes and pileups caused by drivers that unintentionally leave their lane due to inattention, fatigue, or distraction are a leading reason for traffic injuries and fatalities. Lane Departure Warning cautions the driver when their vehicle strays out of its lane without signaling so that they can correct their course and avoid running into other vehicles.

DEPART YOUR LANE SAFELY

The lane departure warning system searches for lane markings when your car is on a straight or slightly curved road and your turn signals are off. When you use your turn signals or turn your steering wheel quickly, the system will not alert you.

Most lane departure warning/lane keeping assist systems function best on highways, and some systems only operate at speeds over 35 mph.

The lane departure system uses a camera located near the rearview mirror to recognize lane markers. To function properly, there needs to be clearly visible paint stripes on both sides of the vehicle. It will NOT recognize curbs. If the system detects that your car is too close to the left or right side lane markings, and your turn signal is not on, a warning light, a vibration, and/or sound will be activated.
