Lane Assist system
Lane Assist system
Intr
oduction
The Lane Assist System helps the driver stay
in his/her lane within the physical limits of the
system. This function is not suitable and is not
designed to keep the vehicle automatically in
the lane.
Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane Assist system detects the lane boun-
daries dividing the lanes in which the vehicle
is travelling. If the vehicle gets too close to
the detected lane limits, the system alerts the
driver through a corrective motion of the steer-
ing wheel. The driver can cancel the steering
corrective action at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system un-
derstands that a lane change is required.
System limits
Use the Lane Assist system only on large, well-
maintained motorways and highways.
The system is not available under the following
conditions:
●
The driving speed allowed is below approx.
55 km/h (30 mph).
●
The system has not detected any lane lines.
●
On tight bends.
●
Temporarily in very sporty driving situations.
●
If the turn signal is switched on before a man-
ual l
ane change.
●
If the driver firmly rectifies a system interven-
tion.
●
If a lane marking is crossed despite system
intervention.
●
If the driver does not react to a request to
intervene.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane Assist
syst
em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the very nature of
the system. Careless or uncontrolled use of
the Lane Assist system may cause accidents
and injury. The system is not a replacement
for driver awareness or manoeuvres when
driving.
●
Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the vehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the road
and the trac situation.
●
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so it can be turned at any time. The
responsibility of staying in the lane is always
the driver's.
●
The Lane Assist system does not detect
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings un-
der certain circumstances by the Lane Assist
system. Immediately counter any unwanted
intervention of the system.
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary if the
tr
ac situation permits.
●
In the following situations there may be
undesir
ed interventions of the system or it
may be that the system does not intervene
at all. In these situations, special attention is
required from the driver and, where appropri-
ate, the temporary deactivation of the lane
assist warning system:
–
In very sporty driving situations.
–
In adverse weather conditions and roads
in poor condition.
–
When passing through areas undergoing
works.
–
Before gradient changes of grade and
river beds.
●
Always observe the vehicle surroundings
carefully and drive proactively.
●
When the area of vision of the camera
becomes dirty, covered or is damaged, the
Lane Assist system function can be aected.
