What the Lane Departure Warning Light Means

On the your car, this light indicates the lane-keeping/departure system is on, off, or unable to see the road. Bad weather, a dirty windscreen, or faded road markings often disable it temporarily.

Common Causes

  • Windscreen camera obstructed or dirty
  • Faded or missing lane markings
  • Bad weather reducing visibility
  • Camera calibration needed
  • System switched off by the driver

How to Fix It

  1. Clean the windscreen in front of the camera
  2. Check the lane-assist on/off setting
  3. Understand it disables itself in poor conditions
  4. Have the camera recalibrated after a windscreen change
  5. Scan for driver-assist faults if it stays unavailable
