DA 5.0 Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
WARNING
The Lane Departure Warning system is intended
only as an aid for a conscientious and alert
driver. Do not rely solely on the system to safely
operate the vehicle.
The system may not indicate lane departures
under certain conditions. Read the information in
this manual to understand the circumstances
under which this system may not provide ad-
equate lane departure warnings.
The system does not warn of all possible haz-
ards. The system cannot prevent an accident if
the driver is impaired or not driving safely.
The Lane Departure Warning system is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving procedures.
Failure to drive safely and use the system prop-
erly could result in personal injury and/or death
and severe property damage.
Safety Notes on Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
The system may be impaired or may not operate in
the following situations:
•
when there is low visibility due to insufficient
road illumination, or due to snow, rain, fog,
heavy spray, or other circumstances that limit
visiblity.
•
when there is glare due to oncoming traffic,
direct sunlight, or reflections from wet road sur-
faces
•
when the windshield in the area of the camera
is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered by a
sticker
•
when no lane markings or several varied lane
markings are present, such as in a construc-
tion zone
•
when the lane markings are worn, dark, or cov-
ered, such as by sand, dirt, or snow
•
when the distance from the vehicle in front is
too small and this prevents the lane markings
from being detected
•
when the lane markings change rapidly, when
lanes branch off, or when they cross or merge
•
when lanes are very narrow or winding
•
when shade conditions on the road surface
change greatly
The driver must adapt their driving style to current
conditions. Lane Departure Warning cannot take the
road and weather conditions into account, nor the
prevailing traffic situation. The driver is responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, braking in good time and remaining in the
lane.
Overview
Detroit Assurance 5.0 Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) monitors the area in front of the vehicle using
the multipurpose camera mounted on the top of the
windshield. When lane departure warning is active
and detecting lane markings, it visually and audibly
warns the driver if it thinks the vehicle may be leav-
ing the lane unintentionally. Lane Departure Warning
only needs one identifiable lane line to function.
