Activating or Deactivating Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
When the engine is turned on, LDW is automatically activated.
Note: There is no audible self-test of the ‘rumble-strip noise’ of the LDW when the key is turned on.
Pressing the physical LDW OFF switch will deactivate LDW for fifteen minutes. See Fig.. When the LDW is deactivated, the switch will illuminate.
A driver might want to turn off LDW on winding roads or when driving through construction zones or other areas where lane markings are not clear.
Note: Vehicles equipped with D.A. 5.0 and an MPC2 camera, but no LDW system may have a permanently illuminated LDW OFF switch as LDW has been disabled.

LDW is not active if:
-
the driver presses the LDW OFF switch; or
