System Operation

The camera monitors left and right lane markings in white (yellow), the outer edge of the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel road shoulder), or a detected oncoming vehicle. If your vehicle approaches any detected lane markings, the outer edge of the pavement (bordered by grass or gravel road shoulder), or a detected oncoming vehicle when the turn signals have not been engaged, the system activates.

  1. If the system cannot detect lane markings (in white or yellow), no assistance will be provided to avoid approaching oncoming vehicles.

In addition to a visual alert, the system assists with steering and alerts you with rapid steering wheel vibrations to help you remain within the detected lane.

The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid crossing over detected lane markings or approaching the outer edge of the pavement (into grass or gravel road shoulder) or an oncoming vehicle.

If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system beeps to alert you.

  1. The Road Departure Mitigation system may automatically shut off and the safety support indicator (amber) comes and stays on.
  2. There are times when you may not notice the Road Departure Mitigation system functions due to your operation of the vehicle, or road surface conditions.
  3. The Road Departure Mitigation system function can be impacted when the vehicle is driven on the inside edge of a curve, outside of a lane, or in a narrow lane.

If Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) is off, the message may appear if the system has determined that there is a possibility of your vehicle crossing over detected lane markings, the outer edge of the pavement (into a grass or gravel road shoulder) or oncoming vehicle.
