zone start point.
For further information, refer to “LaneSense Warning
(LDW)” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle”.
• LaneSense Strength — If Equipped
When this feature is selected, it sets the strength of the
steering wheel feedback for potential lane departures.
The amount of directional torque the steering system can
apply to the steering wheel to correct for vehicle lane
departure can be set at “Low,” “Medium” or “High.”
