Range Rover Evoque - Driving aids; LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW)
The Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) system is a driving aid only.
It remains the driver's
responsibility to drive with due
care and attention, in a manner
which is safe for the vehicle, its
occupants and the other road
users. The driver should still
observe all other road signs, road
markings and situations that are
not detected or recognised by the
LDW system.
The LDW switch is located in the
lower switch panel at the
driver's side of the facia. Press
to disable/enable the LDW
system. See 304, DRIVER
CONTROLS.
When enabled, an indicator lamp
illuminates in the Message centre to
confirm. The status of the system is also
shown by the changes of the lane icon
colours and the vehicle's position icon
within the indicator lamp.
The LDW system can also be switched off/
on via the Instrument panel menu. See 49,
INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
Note: When the ignition is switched off
and on again, the LDW system settings
remain as previously set.
The LDW system uses the forward-facing
camera, located in the base of the rear-
view mirror.
Note: Make sure the windscreen area in
front of the rear-view mirror is kept clean
and free of obstructions, for example,
stickers, debris, mud, snow, ice, etc.
If the vehicle crosses either of the lane
markings that it is travelling within, without
activation of the appropriate indicator, the
LDW system alerts the driver via one of
the following methods:
• Steering wheel vibration.
• Graphical displays in the Message
centre.
Note: The LDW system only provides
warnings to the driver. It does not assist
in changing the direction of the vehicle or
operate any of the vehicle's systems.
Note: The LDW system will not detect
unmarked edges of the road.
The sensitivity of the LDW system can be
adjusted between High Sensitivity or
Normal Sensitivity via Driving Assistance
in the Instrument panel menu.
When set at Normal Sensitivity, the LDW
system suppresses any warnings, if driver
intervention is detected, as follows:
• Operation of the accelerator pedal.
• Significant movement of the steering
wheel.
• Operation of the brakes.
• Activation of the appropriate indicator.
When set at High Sensitivity, the LDW
system does not suppress any warnings,
if driver intervention is detected (unless
the appropriate indicator is activated).
If the LDW system detects a fault or is not
available, then the General warning/
information message (amber) is displayed
in the Message centre. See 56, GENERAL
WARNING/INFORMATION MESSAGE
(AMBER).
