Lane departure warning
(Side Assist) with r
ear cross
traffic alert (RCTA) and door
opening warning (Exit Assist)
Introduction
The lane departure warning (LCA) helps
det
ect traffic that is at the rear of the vehi-
cle.
The rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and when manoeuvring.
The door opening warning (EWA) alerts
the occupant of a possible danger ap-
proaching from behind when opening or
when any of the vehicle’s doors are open.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the l
ane departure warning (LCA) with rear
cross traffic alert (RCTA) and the door
opening warning included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the lane departure warning or the
rear cross traffic alert are used negligently
or involuntarily. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and saf
e distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
Pay attention to the indicator lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument cluster, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The lane departure warning could react
to any special constructions that might be
present to the sides of the vehicle, e.g. high
or irregular dividers. This may cause erro-
neous warnings.
●
Never use the lane departure warning on
unpaved roads. The lane departure warn-
ing has been designed for use on paved
roads.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
The control lamps of the lane departure
warning may have limited functionality due
to solar radiation.
Note
If the lane departure warning with rear
cr
oss traffic alert does not work as descri-
bed in this chapter, stop using it and con-
tact a specialised workshop.
