When the System Operates

  1. The system goes on operation standby when the LDWS switch is pressed and the LDWS OFF indication/indicator light turns off.

    On the type A instrument cluster, the lane indication (border line) is indicated in the multi-information display.

    Indication on display

  2. Drive the vehicle in the centre of the driving lane while the LDWS OFF indicator light is turned off. The system becomes operational when all of the following conditions are met.

    • The vehicle is driven in the centre of the driving lane with the white or yellow lines on the left and right sides, or on either side.

    • The vehicle speed is 70 km/h (44 mph) or faster.

    • The vehicle is driven on a straight road or road with gentle curves.

    On the type A instrument cluster, the lane indication is indicated in the multi-information display.

    Indication on display

    The LDWS does not operate in the following cases:

    • The system cannot detect white or yellow lines.

    • The vehicle speed is less than 65 km/h (40 mph).

    • The vehicle is making a sharp curve.

    • The vehicle is making a curve at an inadequate speed.

 

  • The LDWS does not operate until the system detects a white or yellow line on either the left or right.

  • When the system detects a white or yellow line on one side only, the system will activate the warning only when the vehicle deviates on the side where the white or yellow line is being detected.

  • The distance and warning sensitivity (likelihood of a warning) which the system uses to determine the possibility of a lane departure can be changed.

    Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).

Auto cancel

In the following cases, the LDWS cancels automatically.

  • The temperature inside the camera is high or low.

  • The windscreen around the camera is foggy.

  • The windscreen around the camera is blocked by an obstruction, causing poor forward visibility.

 

When the LDWS cancels automatically, the instrument cluster displays as follows.

Vehicle with type A instrument cluster

The lane indication (border line) is indicated in the display.

The LDWS is enabled automatically when operation conditions are met, and the lane indication is indicated in the display.

Vehicle with type B instrument cluster

The LDWS warning light in the instrument cluster turns on.

The LDWS warning light turns off when the LDWS is operable.

Auto cancel warning

When the following operations are performed, the LDWS determines that the driver intends to make a lane change and the LDWS warning is cancelled automatically. The LDWS is enabled automatically after the driver performs the operation.

  • The steering wheel is operated abruptly.

  • The brake pedal is depressed abruptly.

  • The accelerator pedal is depressed abruptly.

  • The direction indicator lever is operated (after the direction indicator lever is returned, the LDWS may not operate for about 3 seconds which is the period of time required to make a lane correction).

 

After about 60 seconds have elapsed with the direction indicator lever left operating, the LDWS warning may operate if the vehicle is close to a white or yellow line.
