Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Trax and 2016 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The lane departure warning feature is enabled and disabled through the lane departure switch located in the left steering wheel controls switch. When enabled, the frontview camera module will illuminate the indicator located in the switch. The forward collision alert distance is adjustable using the forward collision switch located in the center console. The setting is shown in the driver information center.

When the system is operating and can detect the lane markings, the frontview camera module will request via serial data communications that the instrument panel cluster illuminate the green lane departure ready-to-assist indicator. If the frontview camera module detects that the vehicle has crossed a lane marking without the turn signal being used, the module will request that the instrument cluster flash the yellow lane departure warning indicator. An audible warning will also sound three times when the yellow instrument cluster indicator is flashing.
