Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS)

The LDWS alerts the driver that the
vehicle may be deviating from its lane. If
the white (yellow) lines on the traffic lane
are detected using the Forward Sensing
Camera (FSC) and the system determines
that the vehicle may be deviating from its
lane, it notifies the driver by flashing the
LDWS warning light and activating the
LDWS warning beep, and by the
multi-information display.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)
on page 4-198.
Use the LDWS when you drive the vehicle
on roads with white (yellow) lines.
