The lane departure warning can detect lane
marker lines within the limits of the system. If
you are approaching a detected lane marker and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the

proximately 40 mph - 155 mph (65 km/h -
250 km/h).
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
and without side assist: The system will not warn
you before crossing a lane marker line if you have
activated the turn signal. In this case, it assumes
that you are changing lanes intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
combined with side assist: A noticeable corrective
steering movement will occur briefly before the
vehicle exits the lane if the turn signal is activat-
ed, the lane departure warning is ready, anda
