detects lane markings on one
side of the road. It will not warn if
the vehicle departs the lane from
the side where it has not detected
a lane marker. The vehicle
position must be maintained
within the lane or, vehicle
damage, injury, or death could

keep the windshield clean and do
not use LDW in bad weather
conditions.
