Driving
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
s
wit
ched on and should turn off after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. This is the time taken for
the function check.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp of the lane departure warning, this
means that the lane departure warning has
not detected any other vehicles at the rear
area
››
.
When the e
xt
erior lighting is low, the intensity
with which the control lamps come on is dim-
med. The user can modify the intensity of the
control lamps with up to 5 levels in the info-
tainment system menu.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
messages are ignor
ed when they light up,
the vehicle may stall in traffic and cause
accidents and severe injuries.
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
Carry out the necessary operations.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and cor-
responding t
ext messages when they light
up may result in damage to the vehicle.
Lane departure warning (Side As-
sist)
The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors to monit
or the areas behind the vehicle
››
page 8. The system does this by measur-
ing the vehicle's distance from other vehicles
and its speed differential. The lane departure
warning will not work at speeds of less than
approx. 15 km/h (9 mph). The system uses
optical signals in the external rear view mir-
rors to notify the driver.
The lane width is not detected individually,
but is rather pre-configured in the system.
Thus if you are driving in wide lanes or in be-
tween two lanes, the indications may be in-
correct. Furthermore, the system can detect
vehicles driving in the lane next to you (if
there are any), and can also detect station-
ary objects such as dividers, and thus give an
incorrect indication.
Indication on the exterior mirror
The control lamp provides an indication on
the corresponding side regarding the traffic
situation behind the vehicle, if it is deemed to
be critical. The control lamp of the left-hand
side
››
Fig. 189 indicates the traffic situation
to the rear left of the vehicle, and the control
lamp of the right-hand side
››
Fig. 190, indi-
cates the traffic situation to the rear right of
the vehicle.
In the case of retrofitted tinted windows or
windows with tint
ed film, the indications of the
external mirrors may not be seen clearly or
correctly.
Keep the external mirrors clean and free of
snow and ice, and do not cover them with ad-
hesives or other similar materials.

activating the
Lane Assist
