6. Lane departure warning system (LDWS)
6.1 Important notes on the lane departure warning system (LDWS)
The lane departure warning system (LDWS) warns the driver of the unintentional drift of the vehicle out of its
travel lane. The position of the bus in relation to the road markings on either side is monitored continuously by
means of a camera behind the windscreen. When the lane assistant warning system is active, the driver is
warned if the bus drives on or over road lane markings by a vibration in the same side of the driver’s seat
cushion.
Danger.
The lane departure warning system is merely an aid to assist the driver. The driver is responsible at all times
for maintaining the vehicle’s direction of travel and making sure that it remains in the correct lane.
Danger.
The lane departure warning system can only give a warning when the bus drives on or over road lane makings
if these markings are easily detectable.
Note
The driver’s seat should not be covered with thicker cushions or mats, otherwise it may not be possible to feel
the vibrations generated by the integral motors.
Note
An icon appears on the display screen if no warning is possible when the lane departure warning system is
activated.
