Lane Departure Warning Performance Tips Several factors affect the performance of the lane departure warning system (LDWS). Some conditions may prevent the LDWS feature from detecting lane departures. • The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your vehicle speed exceeds 64 km/h (40 mph). • The LDWS feature does not provide alerts on certain types of roads, such as highway ramps or merging lanes. • The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera is incorrectly aligned (Aligning the Camera, page 3). • The LDWS feature may not function properly if the Camera Placement option does not correctly indicate the placement of your device in the vehicle. • The LDWS feature requires a clear, continuous view of the lane divider lines. ◦ Lane departures may not be detected when divider lines are obscured by rain, fog, snow, extreme shadows, sun or headlight glare, road construction, or any other visual obstruction. ◦ Lane departures may not be detected if lane divider lines are misaligned, missing, or heavily worn. • The LDWS feature may not detect lane departures on extremely wide, narrow, or winding roads.
