PRECAUTIONS ON LANE
DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM
WARNING
O
This system is only a warning device to
inform the driver of an unintended lane
departure. It will not steer the vehicle or
prevent loss of control. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the traveling lane,
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
O
The system will not operate at speeds
below approximately 45 MPH (72 km/h)
or if it cannot detect lane markers.
O
If the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system malfunctions, it will cancel auto-
matically. The LDW indicator light in the
instrument panel will then illuminate
(orange).
O
If the LDW indicator light illuminates (or-
ange), park the vehicle in a safe place.
Turn the engine off and re-start the en-
gine. If the LDW indicator light continues
to illuminate, have the system checked
by an INFINITI dealer.
O
Excessive noise will interfere with
warning system chime sound and the
chime may not be heard.
O
The system may not function properly
under the following conditions:
- On roads where the lane markers
are faded or are not painted clearly.
- On roads where the lane markers
are painted yellow.
- On roads where water, dirt or snow
is covering the lane markers.
O
The system may not monitor the lane
markers in certain road, weather or
driving conditions.
- On roads where there are sharp
curves.
- Where the traveling lane merges or
separates.
- On roads where the discontinued
lane markers are present, such as
near tollgates.
- On roads where there are no general
lane markers.
- On roads where the lane width is
too narrow.
- During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
- When strong light (for example, at
sunrise or sunset) is directly shining
on the front of the vehicle in the
camera.
- When entering or exiting a tunnel
where a sudden change in bright-
ness occurs.
- When traveling close to the vehicle
in front of you, which obstructs the
camera detection range.
- When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
marker.
- When rain, snow or dirt adheres to
the windshield in front of the LDW
camera.
