The LDW function is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle unintentionally leaves its lane and there is a risk of driving off the road or into the opposite lane.

Your vehicle may be equipped with Lane Departure Warning (LDW) or Lane Keeping Aid (LKA), depending on your choice of engine. If you are uncertain as to which of these optional systems is in your vehicle:

Press the MY CAR button on the center console to open the menu system. Scroll to Settings → Driver support system. The system in your vehicle (Lane Departure Warning or Lane Keeping Aid) will be displayed there.

LDW uses the camera located at the center, upper edge of the windshield to monitor the road's/lane’s side marker lines. If the vehicle crosses a side marker line or the road’s center dividing line, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal.

Warning

Lane Keeping Aid is only intended to assist the driver and does not function in all driving, weather, traffic or road conditions.

As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
