ol lamp of the lane departure
warning.
Connecting and disconnecting
Side Assist can be s
witched on and o by
accessing the Assistants menu of the infotain-
ment system or through the instrument clus-
ter display using the controls on the steering
wheel. If the vehicle is equipped with a multi-
function camera, it can also be accessed by
means of the assistants systems key located on
the main beam headlight lever.
When the lane departure warning is ready to
oper
ate, the indications in the control lamps will
turn on briefly as confirmation.
When the vehicle is restarted, the last adjust-
ment in the system will remain active.
Indication on the exterior mirror
The control lamp provides an indication on the
corresponding side regarding the trac situa-
tion behind the vehicle, if it is deemed to be
critical. The control lamp on the left-hand side
indicates the trac situation to the rear left of
the vehicle, and the control lamp on the right-
hand side indicates the trac situation to the
rear right of the vehicle .
In the case of retrofitted tinted windows or win-
dows with tinted film, the indications of the ex-
ternal mirrors may not be seen clearly.
Keep the external mirrors clean and free of
snow and ice, and do not cover them with ad-
hesives or other similar materials.
It lights up
It turns on once briefly: the lane departure warning
is activated and ready to operate, i.e. when acti-
vating the system.
It lights up continuously: the lane departure warn-
ing has detected a vehicle in the blind spot.
Flashes
A vehicle has been detected in the adjacent lane
and the turn signal has been engaged in the direc-
tion of the detected vehicle.
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane As-
sist ›››page151, a warning to switch lanes will
also appear even though the turn signal has not
been engaged (Lane Assist “Plus”).
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
switched on and should turn o 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 exterior 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 infotain-
ment system menu.
