Driver Alert System*
The Driver Alert System is intended to assist drivers whose driving ability is deteriorating orwho are inadvertently leaving the lane they aredriving on. The Driver Alert System consists of different functions which can either be switched on atthe same time or individually:
• Driver Alert Control - DAC (p. 225).
• Lane Departure Warning - LDW (p. 229).
• Lane Keeping Aid - LKA (p. 234)
A switched-on function is set in standbymode and is not activated automatically untilspeed exceeds 65 km/h. The function is deactivated again when speed decreases to below 60 km/h. Both functions use a camera which is dependent on the lane having side markingspainted on each side.
WARNING
Driver Alert System does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a sup-plementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely.

Driver Alert Control (DAC)*
The DAC function is intended to attract the driver's attention when he/she starts to driveless consistently, e.g. if he/she becomes dis-tracted or starts to fall asleep. The objective for DAC is to detect slowly deteriorating driving ability and it is primarilyintended for major roads. The function is notintended for city traffic.
A camera detects the side markings painted on the carriageway and compares the sectionof the road with the driver's steering wheelmovements. The driver is alerted if the vehicledoes not follow the carriageway evenly. In some cases driving ability is not affected despite driver fatigue. In which case theremay not be any warning issued for the driver.For this reason it is always important to stopand take a break in the event of any signs of

driver fatigue, irrespective of whether or not DAC issues a warning.
NOTE
The function must not be used to extend a period of driving. Always plan breaks atregular intervals, and make sure you arewell rested.
LimitationIn some cases the system may issue a warn- ing despite driving ability not deteriorating, forexample: •
in strong side winds
• on rutted road surfaces.
NOTE
The camera sensor has certain limitations (p. 220).

Driver Alert Control (DAC)* - operation
Settings are made from the centre console display screen and its menu system. For infor-mation on how the menu system is used, seeMY CAR (p. 103). Depending on whether the car has Lane Departure Warning - LDW (p. 229) or LaneKeeping Aid - LKA (p. 234) the screen canshow one of the following options:
Car with LDW can show this on the screen.
Car with LKA can show this on the screen.
The Driver Alert function can be set in standby mode. The function can be acti-vated/deactivated in the menu system MY
CAR . For a description of the menu system,
see MY CAR (p. 103). Driver Alert is activated when speed exceeds 65 km/h and remains active as long as thespeed is over 60 km/h.
If the vehicle is being driven errati-cally, the driver is notified by anacoustic signal plus the text mes- sage
Driver Alert Time for a break- the linked symbol is illuminated in the com- bined instrument panel at the same time. Thewarning is repeated after a time if driving abil-ity does not improve.

WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is often not aware ofhis/her own condition. In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tiredness; stop the car in a safe manner assoon as possible and rest. Studies have shown that it is equally as dangerous to drive while tired as it is underthe influence of alcohol.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Lane Departure Warning is one of the func-
tions in the Driver Alert System - sometimesalso referred to as LDW (Lane DepartureWarning). The function is intended for use on motor- ways and similar major roads in order toreduce the risk of the vehicle accidentallyleaving its own lane in certain situations.
Lane Departure Warning LDW or LKAVolvo has developed two different systemsfor lane keeping assistance:
• LDW -
Lane Departure Warning which
only warns the driver.
• LKA -
Lane Keeping Aid(Lane Keeping Aid) which, in addition to warning the driver, also actively steers thecar.
The Volvo V60 can be supplied with both vari- ants - market and engine alternatives deter-mine which of the systems the car is equip-ped with. In the event of uncertainty whether the car has LDW or LKA:

system - which specifies Lane
Departure Warning whether the car has
LDW or Lane Keeping Aid for LKA.
Principle for LDW
(The figure is schematic - not model specific.) LDW consists of a camera that detects the side lines painted on the road/lane. If the vehicle crosses the left or right-hand side line of the carriageway without duecause then the driver is alerted by an acousticsignal.
NOTE
The driver is only warned once each time the wheels cross a line. So there is noacoustic alarm when there is a linebetween the car's wheels.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) - function
Certain settings can be made for the Lane Departure Warning function.
Off & On
LDW is engaged or disengaged using a but- ton on the centre console. An indicator lampin the button illuminates when the function isswitched on. This function is complemented in the com- bined instrument panel with intuitive graphicsin different situations.
Personal preferencesSettings are made from the centre console'sscreen via the menu system in MY CAR. For
a description of the menu system, see MYCAR (p. 103). Select from the options: •
On at start-up - The function enters
standby mode every time the engine is started. Otherwise the same value aswhen the engine was switched off isobtained.
•
Increased sensitivity - The sensitivity
increases, an alarm is triggered earlier and fewer limitations apply.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) - operation
LDW is complemented in the combined instrument panel with intuitive graphics in dif-ferent situations. Here are some examples:
The LDW function's side lines (marked in red in the figure).
• The LDW symbol has WHITE side lines - the function is active and detects/"sees"one side line, or both.
• The LDW symbol has GREY side lines -the function is active but detects neitherleft nor right side line.
or
• The LDW symbol has GREY side lines -the function is in standby mode becausethe speed is below 65 km/h.
• The LDW symbol has no side lines - thefunction is deactivated.
