Lane departure warning system
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger a
warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane marking
(speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is par ticularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.

The lane depar ture warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility

seat cushion:
- on the right-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the right,
- on the left-hand side, if the marking on the
ground has been crossed on the left.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is active and for approximately
20 seconds after the direction indicator is
switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking
(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.

road surface.
