Certain factors will affect the operation of the lane departure warning system. When the system is operating properly, the green lane departure indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster. This indicates that all of the required operating conditions to permit lane departure warning have been met. The green lane departure indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view of the camera on the windshield is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. Additionally, lane departure warnings may occasionally occur in a properly operating vehicle due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections. This is normal system operation and the vehicle does not require service. The driver information center may also display LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE due to the temporary conditions listed above.

Additionally, the Front View Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of the lane departure warning system. For the Front View Camera Disable History, refer to DTC B1011 .
