Kia Carens: Driving your vehicle / Lane departure warning system (LDWS)

This system detects the lane with the sensor at the front windshield and warns you when your vehicle leaves the lane.

WARNING

• The LDWS does not make the vehicle change lanes. It is the driver's responsibility to always check the road conditions.
• Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly, when the LDWS warns you that your vehicle is leaving the lane.
• If the sensor can not detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does not exceed 60km/h, the LDWS won't warn you even though the vehicle leaves the lane.
• If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating and accessory on the front windshield, the LDWS may not work properly.
• Do not let water or any kind of liquid come in contact with the LDWS sensor.
• Do not remove the LDWS parts and do not affect the sensor by a strong impact.
• Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
