The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
the LDW indicator light (orange) in the vehicle
information display blinks to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the
right of a traveling lane when detected by the
camera unit. For additional information, refer to
“Blind Spot Warning (BSW) System/Lane De-

indicator will come on.Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
