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
-
the system is searching for a lane.
If there is a system error, the LDW telltale will illuminate in the driver display. See Fig. .
