What is Lane Departure Alert?

It’s 2016 and vehicles have more technology in them than ever – back-up cameras, satellite radio, navigation, and more. With that, safety technology has been improving as well. One seemingly-simple, yet extremely useful, feature is Toyota’s Lane Departure Alert¹.

This available safety feature helps the driver stay in his or her lane by emitting an audible beep and a flashing light on the instrument panel if the driver starts to drift over the white or yellow lines. The system detects the painted lines and can tell if the vehicle drifts over them. If this happens and the turn signal is not enabled, the system will assume the drift is accidental and warn the driver.

When on the road it’s smart to err on the side of caution, and Lane Departure Alert helps you do just that. If this is a feature you’re interested in, talk with a Product Specialist at Markquart Toyota near Eau Claire to see what options are available to you!

¹_{Lane Departure Alert is designed to read the lane markers under certain conditions, and provide visual and audible alerts when lane departure is detected. It is not a collision-avoidance system or a substitute for safe and attentive driving. Effectiveness depends on many factors.}
