What is Lane Departure Warning?

Lane Departure Warning is a Honda safety feature designed to help drivers avoid possible collisions caused by drifting out of their lane. Part of the Honda Sensing™ safety suite that’s standard in most new Honda models and offered in others, including many of the used cars for sale at our dealership, learn more about all this feature can do for you and your Arlington Heights drives with Muller Honda Pre-Owned.

How Does LDW Work?

This system’s cameras, located near the rearview mirror, detect lane markings, and alert the driver when the vehicle’s wheels move past that marker. When it does, a flashing indicator and alarm sound off. In some cases, the steering wheel and even seat will vibrate to ensure you’re aware you’re drifting and can safely move back into your lane in Chicago. This system can prevent crashes from:

• A vehicle sticking out too far in an adjoining lane
• Sideswiping
• A rollover
• And more

In Honda models, this system is automatically activated when you start your vehicle. In other models, it may need to be activated by pushing a button. Also, note this system will not go off if you’re using your turn signal.

Lane Departure Warning Options

When equipped with a Honda model, this system offers a few different options for safety, including customized alerts. These features also include warning types and more, like:

• Haptic feedback warnings like seat and wheel vibrations
• Visual alerts with a flashing lane marking symbol
• Adjustable audible warning levels
• The ability to disable the system
• Highway’s edge recognition
