JAECOO 7 SHS/PHEV 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.
Supported models and trims
JAECOO 7 SHS/PHEV: Luxury / Black Luxury SHS-P, and earlier PHEV versions with the described equipment; this is not an SHS-H guide
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, power on and open Settings, then Driver assistance, on the February 2026 screen layout.
- Under Active Safety, open Lane assist system. Match the labelled warning or intervention options to LDW or LDP before changing them. The summary does not document a further universal submenu sequence.
- Review Emergency lane keeping assist as a separate Active Safety item.
- Confirm the screen’s selected state before driving. ELK is documented as returning on when vehicle power is switched on.
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
Lane assist, LDW, LDP and ELK are marked if equipped in the February 2026 manual. On the October 2024 layout, Driver Assistance lists Lane departure warning and Lane departure prevention ON/OFF separately, with sound/vibration warning modes and low/high sensitivity for LDW. Use those controls only if your screen matches.
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.
