Honda HR-V: Lane Departure Warning System Description - Overview
The lane departure warning system determines if the vehicle is
unintentionally leaving the lane in which it is
travelling. By identifying the lane markings in reference to the vehicle
position, the system issues an audible
warning and visual warning in the multi-information display when vehicle lane
departure occurs.
Multi Purpose camera unit
The multi purpose camera unit mounts behind the rear view mirror on the
windshield.
LDW OFF switch
To disable the system, the LDW OFF switch is pressed for a minimum of 0.5
seconds.
Operation
- To control the lane departure warning system, the multi purpose camera
unit receives information from
the integrated camera, VSA modulator-control unit and the PCM, and sends
commands to the gauge
control module and multi-information display to issue warnings to the
driver.
- The multi purpose camera unit looks at signals from the gauge control
module and VSA modulator-control
unit to determine if the driver is actively controlling the vehicle or not.
Use of the turn signals and
brakes indicate the driver is controlling the vehicle, and no warnings would
be issued.
