When it comes to driving safety, advanced technology plays a key role in protecting you, your passengers, and everyone on the road. One of the most important safety features available in new Honda vehicles is Lane Departure Warning (LDW) — part of the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assist systems. At East Coast Honda in Myrtle Beach, we’re proud to offer this technology on many of our new models so you can drive with added confidence.
What Is Lane Departure Warning?
Lane Departure Warning is a safety system designed to help prevent accidents caused by unintentionally drifting out of your lane. Using a camera that detects lane markings on the road, LDW monitors your vehicle’s position and alerts you if it senses that your car is moving out of its lane without signaling.
This feature is especially useful during:
- Long highway drives
- Times of fatigue or distraction
- Poor visibility conditions
How Lane Departure Warning Works
Lane Departure Warning uses advanced camera technology to track lane markers on the road. If the system detects that your vehicle is unintentionally drifting, it sends an alert — typically a visual warning on your dashboard, an audible beep, or a steering wheel vibration — to get your attention so you can safely correct your course.
For even greater assistance, many Honda models also include Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), which works with LDW to gently guide the vehicle back toward the center of the lane.
Benefits of Lane Departure Warning for Myrtle Beach Drivers
For drivers in Myrtle Beach and throughout South Carolina, Lane Departure Warning can be an invaluable safety tool. Whether you’re commuting through town, cruising down Highway 17, or heading out on a road trip along the coast, LDW helps you:
- Stay safer by reducing lane departure accidents
- Drive more confidently on highways and rural roads
- Enhance overall driving awareness
Lane Departure Warning on New Honda Models
Lane Departure Warning is now a standard or available feature on many new Honda models, including the Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot, HR-V, and Odyssey. When you choose a new Honda with Honda Sensing®, you get this advanced safety technology along with a suite of driver-assist features that work together to keep you and your passengers safe.
