Lane Departure Warning Operation

System operation can be describe by the following modes:

• Disabled: The system has disabled by the operator, using the lane departure warning switch. The lane departure warning LED will not be illuminated.
• Not Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and the lane departure warning LED is illuminated, but not ready to assist when any of the following conditions is true:
  • Vehicle speed is less than 56 km/h (35 MPH) or vehicle speed has dropped below 48 km/h (30 MPH) when the system initially was in the ready to assist mode. The system is designed to function at speeds greater than 56 km/h (35 MPH).
  • The system cannot detect lane markings. This may be because there are no lane markings, as on a country road or that the lane markings cannot be determined due to snow, rain or other driving conditions.
  • The windshield area in front of the camera or the camera lens is blocked by fog, dirt, damage to the windshield or other elements that may prevent the camera from detecting lane markings.
• Ready To Assist: The system is enabled and ready to warn of the unintentional lane crossing. The system is ready to assist when the green lane departure warning indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster.
