What is the typical purpose of the Lane Departure Alert function in Safety Sense?

• A. To warn the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane
• B. To automatically steer the car back into its lane
• C. To monitor blind spots
• D. To adjust steering for lane centering

Answer: (A)

Lane Departure Alert is about warning you when the vehicle starts to drift out of its lane. It uses a camera to monitor lane markings and, if it detects unintentional drift without signaling, it gives a warning—visual, audible, or even a steering-wheel vibration—to prompt you to steer back. It’s a warning-focused feature, not automatic steering. Other systems handle blind-spot monitoring or actively steering to center the vehicle, while Lane Departure Alert’s primary role is to alert you so you can take corrective action.
