How the System Activates

~1min read

The system becomes ready to start searching for lane markings when all the following conditions are met:

  • The vehicle is traveling between about 45 and 145 km/h.
  • The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
  • The turn signals are off.
  • The brake pedal is not depressed.
  • The wipers are not in continuous operation.
  • The system makes a determination that the driver is not actively accelerating, braking or steering.

How the System Activates

The RDM system may automatically shut off and the indicator comes and stays on.

RDM system function can be impacted when the vehicle is:

  • Not driven within a traffic lane.
  • Driven on the inside edge of a curve, or outside of a lane.
  • Driven in a narrow lane.
