Troubleshooting
Emergency Assist not available
The control lamp switches on yellow. A relevant
w
arning is also displayed on the instrument
panel screen.
●
The field of vision of the camera is dirty.
Clean the windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished due
to weather factors, e.g. snow, or detergent resi-
due or some coating. Clean the windscreen.
●
The visibility of the camera is diminished due
to accessories or adhesives. Leave the area
around the camera’s field of vision free.
●
The camera has been altered or damaged,
e.g. because of damage caused to the wind-
screen. Check for visible damage.
●
There is a fault or a defect. Switch the engine
o and on again.

If the fault continues, disconnect the Emer-
gency Assist and consult a specialised work-
shop.
Lane departure warning
(Side Assist)
Introduction
The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors to monitor the areas behind the vehicle
›››page6. The system does this by measuring
the vehicle's distance from other vehicles and
its speed dierential. The lane departure warn-
ing will not work at speeds of less than approx.
15km/h (9mph).
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 between two
lanes, the indications may be incorrect. Further-
more, the system can detect vehicles driving in
the lane next to you (if there are any), and can
also detect stationary objects such as dividers,
and thus give an incorrect indication.
Trailer mode
Side assist is automatically deactivated and
cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted tow-
bar is electrically connected to a trailer or simi-
lar device.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a trailer
connected electrically to the vehicle, a mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument panel dis-
play indicating that side assist is switched o.
Once the vehicle trailer has been disengaged,
side assist will return to the initial state prior to
the moment the trailer was electrically connec-
ted.
If the tow-bar is not factory fitted, side assist
should be switched o manually when driving
with a trailer.
Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situations the lane departure warning
may not interpret the trac situation correctly.
I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with dierent widths;
●
in areas with significant gradient changes;
●
in adverse weather conditions;
●
in the case of special constructions to the
side of the vehicle, e.g., high or irregular divid-
ers.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into Side
Assist cannot o
vercome the limits imposed
by the laws of physics; it only works within
the limits of the system. Accidents and se-
vere injury may occur if Side Assist is used
negligently or involuntarily. The system is not
a replacement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and trac conditions.
