LDW System Limitations

Listed below are the system limitations for the LDW system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in serious injury or death.

• This system is only a warning device to inform the driver of a potential unintended lane departure. It will not steer the vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driver's responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, keep the vehicle in the travelling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.
• The system will not operate at speeds below approximately 60 km/h (37.2 MPH), above 200 km/h (124.2 MPH) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and the chime may not be heard.
• The system may not function properly under the following conditions:
  • On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; or lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
  • On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
  • On roads where there are sharp curves.
  • On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs. (The LDW system could detect these items as lane markers.)
  • On roads where the travelling lane merges or separates.
  • When the vehicle's travelling direction does not align with the lane marker.
  • When travelling close to the vehicle in front of own vehicle, which obstructs the front camera unit detection range.
  • When rain, snow or dirt contacts to the windscreen in front of the front camera unit.
  • When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not adjusted properly.
  • When strong light enters the front camera unit. (For example, the light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
  • When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example, when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
  • When there is poor visibility. (For example, due to insufficient illumination of the road, or due to snow, rain, fog or spray.
  • When there is glare. (For example, from oncoming traffic, the sun or reflection when the road is wet).
