LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS)

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS)

SM2334312


id151000002500



Outline

• The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) recognizes vehicle lane lines on a road using the forward sensing camera (FSC) installed to the windshield, and if the vehicle departs from its lane unknowingly by the driver, the system alerts the driver of the lane departure using a warning indication and warning sound.
Warning
• The lane departure warning system (LDWS) is only a supplementary system for the prevention of a lane departure, however the lane departure warning system (LDWS) functions have limitations. Relying solely on the lane departure warning system (LDWS) and neglecting prudent steering wheel operation could cause an unexpected accident resulting in death or serious injury. Do not rely solely on the lane departure warning system (LDWS). Always make lane corrections using the steering wheel and drive safely.
• The lane departure warning system (LDWS) may not operate normally under the following conditions:
― Poor vehicle lane line visibility due to adverse weather (rain, snow, fog)
― Poor vehicle lane line visibility due to backlight, snow on the road, water puddles, road ruts
― Poor vehicle lane line visibility due to cracks and fissures in the vehicle lane
― Vehicle lane lines intersect with complexity due to additions or reductions of travel lanes
― Vehicle lane marking is not completely erased after road maintenance, and there two or more lane lines next to each other
― Vehicle lane lines not recognized due to vehicle ahead
Caution
• If the forward sensing camera (FSC) aiming is not completed correctly, the forward sensing camera (FSC) cannot record the camera shooting angle and the lane departure warning system (LDWS) may not operate normally. When performing the following servicing, always perform the forward sensing camera (FSC) aiming. In addition, for the forward sensing camera (FSC) aiming procedure, refer to the [FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC) AIMING] in the Workshop Manual.
― Forward sensing camera (FSC) replacement
― Forward sensing camera (FSC) clip replacement
― Windshield replacement

Functions

• The body control module (BCM) sets warning-trigger lines based on the vehicle lane lines recognized by the forward sensing camera (FSC), and if the vehicle contacts one of these warning-trigger lines it activates the warning indicator and warning sound. For details on the forward sensing camera (FSC) and warning-trigger lines, refer to [FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC)]. (See FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC) [(US)].)


Driver operation determination function

• The body control module (BCM) determines the following driving operations as the driver’s intentions and controls the warning operation.
― The trun switch is operated and the vehicle lane is changed.


System conditions display function

• The body control module (BCM) displays the system status using the active driving display and the multi-information display.

Operation condition

• The warning is triggered when all of the following conditions are met:
― LDWS system is on
― Vehicle speed signal of approx. 64 km/h {40 mph} or more is received from DSC
― Vehicle contacts warning-trigger line unbeknownst to driver


Operation

• The period of time in which the warning is triggered differs by the period of time in which the vehicle is contacting the warning-trigger line.
― Vehicle contacts warning-trigger line for less than 1 sec: Warning triggers for approx. 1 sec
• The following three types of warnings can be selected using the personalization feature.
― Steering wheel vibration
― Beep sound
― Steering wheel vibration and beep sound
1. The forward sensing camera (FSC) sends the vehicle lane line information (1) to the body control module (BCM).
2. When the body control module (BCM) receives the vehicle lane line information (1) from the forward sensing camera (FSC), it determines (2) the warning sound and the warning indication.
3. If the body control module (BCM) determines that the warning sound and the warning indication are needed, it sends (3) the warning indication request signal to the instrument cluster, and outputs (3) the warning sound signal to the Notification and Warning Speaker (Front).
4. When the instrument cluster receives the warning indication request signal from the body control module (BCM), it displays (4) the warning indication in the multi-information display.

Steering wheel vibration
• A steering wheel vibration request signal is sent to the EPS CM.
• When the EPS CM receives the steering wheel vibration request signal, it energizes the EPS motor to vibrate the steering wheel.
