PRECAUTIONS ON LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) SYSTEM WARNING This system is only a warning device to inform the driver of an 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 traveling lane, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. The system will not operate at speeds below approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers. If the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system malfunctions, it will cancel automatically. The LDW indicator light in the instrument panel will then illuminate (orange). If the LDW indicator light illuminates (orange), park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn the engine off and re-start the engine. If the LDW indicator light continues to illuminate, have the system checked by an INFINITI dealer. Excessive noise will interfere with warning system chime sound and the chime may not be heard. The system may not function properly under the following conditions: - On roads where the lane markers are faded or are not painted clearly. - On roads where the lane markers are painted yellow. - On roads where water, dirt or snow is covering the lane markers. The system may not monitor the lane markers in certain road, weather or driving conditions. - On roads where there are sharp curves. - Where the traveling lane merges or separates. - On roads where the discontinued lane markers are present, such as near tollgates. - On roads where there are no general lane markers. - On roads where the lane width is too narrow. - During bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.). - When strong light (for example, at sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle in the camera. - When entering or exiting a tunnel where a sudden change in brightness occurs. - When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the camera detection range. - When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane marker. - When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of the LDW camera. 5-20 Starting and driving
