Cadillac 2008 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
CAUTION: (Continued)
LDW will indicate the system is working
whenever it detects either the left or right lane
marking. So if you depart on the side of the
lane that LDW is not detecting, LDW will not
warn you.
If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle
position within the lane, vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Even with LDW, always
keep your attention on the road and maintain
proper vehicle position within the lane. Always
keep the windshield clean and do not use LDW
in bad weather conditions.
When you cross a detected lane marking, the LDW
symbol will flash and you will hear three beeps.
LDW will not warn you if your turn signal is on or if you
make a sharp maneuver. Before making a lane change,
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your shoulder
for vehicles and hazards, and start your turn signal before
changing lanes.
How the System Works
LDW uses a camera located between the inside rearview
mirror and the windshield to detect the lane markings.
@ (Lane Departure Warning): To turn LDW on and off,
press the LDW control, located by the exterior
headlamp control. An indicator on the control will light to
indicate that LDW is on.
When the vehicle is
started, the LDW symbol,
located in the instrument
panel cluster, will
briefly come on to indicate
that the light is operational.
LDW only operates at speeds of 35 mph (56 km) or
greater. If LDW is turned on when traveling at these
speeds, the LDW symbol will appear green if the system
detects a left or right lane marking. This symbol will
change to amber and flash and three beeps will sound
if you cross a detected lane marking without using your
turn signal.
