Lane departure warning light
A car drifting over lane lines, sometimes amber.
GENERALLY OK TO PROCEED WITH CAUTION
Book it in when you can · Amber means get it checked
What it means
Lane departure warning uses a forward camera to watch the lane markings. A warning here usually means the system is temporarily unavailable (poor markings, weather, a dirty or blocked camera) or has a fault.
Can I drive?
Yes — this is a driver-assist convenience, not something that affects how the car drives. Just do not rely on the feature until it clears.
Common causes
A dirty or iced-over windshield camera, worn road markings, or a camera/module fault. Often it clears once the windshield is clean and clear.
Warning-light symbols and meanings vary by vehicle — always check your owner’s manual. This is general guidance based on what the light indicates, not a physical inspection, and a light on its own never names a failed part.
