JAECOO 5 petrol separates lane-departure warnings from steering intervention. Identify which function you want to change before adjusting it; switching off LDW alone is not a reliable way to stop every steering intervention.

JAECOO 5 petrol: Pure / Luxury, only where the described equipment is fitted
UK manual review; not a hands-on vehicle test. A missing menu may reflect equipment or software; this guide does not promise a feature can be enabled.
Before you begin
Park safely before changing settings. Match the powertrain, equipment and screen layout to the handbook for your own car. A manual describes possible equipment; it is not confirmation that every UK trim has it.
Step-by-step instructions
- Park, turn power on and open the audio system’s Vehicle setting area, then Driver Assistance.
- For warnings, use Lane departure warning ON/OFF. The manual lists Sound, Vibration or Sound + Vibration and Late/Early sensitivity.
- To change corrective steering, find the specifically labelled Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) control. Its system chapter confirms an audio-system ON/OFF setting, but the settings summary repeats “Lane departure warning” twice. Do not guess which duplicated row is LDP.
- Check Emergency lane keeping separately if you intend to change ELK. Do not mistake the separate Lane Keep Assist (LKA) or cruise assistance for LDW.
- Confirm the selected controls on your actual screen before moving.
Three functions with different jobs
| Function | What it does |
|---|---|
| LDW: Lane Departure Warning | Warns about a lane departure. |
| LDP: Lane Departure Prevention | Can apply corrective steering as the car leaves its lane. |
| ELK: Emergency Lane Keeping | Can intervene in a potential road-edge or adjacent-traffic conflict; capability varies by model. |
Model and software notes
LDW, LDP, ELK and LKA are marked if equipped. The LDW chapter says it remembers the customer’s selection; that is not a promise that LDP, ELK or all software versions do the same.
Troubleshooting
- The steering still intervenes: distinguish LDW from LDP, ELK and active cruise assistance. Turning off a warning does not prove the other systems are off.
- The display is grey: the system may be enabled but limited or waiting for suitable conditions. Grey does not by itself mean a fault.
- A yellow fault indicator stays on: arrange inspection; do not try to fix it by repeatedly toggling the system.
- False warnings: check the camera’s view for dirt or ice and note the road markings. Persistent problems need retailer investigation.
Safety and limitations
- Keep both hands available to steer and remain responsible for the vehicle. Lane assistance is not autonomous driving.
- Do not deliberately cross a lane marking to test the setting. Make changes while parked.
- Poor markings, roadworks, sharp bends, bad weather and an obscured windscreen camera can reduce performance. Follow the handbook’s restrictions on using LDP.
