It lights up
It lights up continuously: the lane departure warning
has det
ected a vehicle in the blind spot.
Flashes
A vehicle has been detected in the adjacent lane and
the t
urn signal has been engaged in the direction of
the detected vehicle
›››
.
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane Assist
›
››
page 257, a warning to switch lanes will also ap-
pear even though the turn signal has not been en-
gaged (Lane Assist “Plus”
›››
page 265).
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
s
witched 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
xterior 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 ar
e ignored when they light up,
the vehicle may stall in traffic and cause
accidents and se
vere injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
●
Carry out the necessary operations.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and cor-
r
esponding text 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 t
o monitor the areas behind the vehicle
›››
page 9. 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 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.
Light indication
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.
Keep the warning lamps zone of the lane de-
parture warning free of objects, adhesives or
the likes that may interfere with your visibility.
Lane assist Plus.
The Lane Assist Plus function can be used by
activ
ating the Lane Assist
›››
page 257 and
Side Assist functions. In this case its functions
are expanded as described below.
If the driver initiates a lane change manoeu-
vre in a potential critical situation:
●
The lamp flashes in the corresponding rear-
view mirror even though the turn signal has
not been activated.
●
The steering wheel vibrates to warn the
driver of the risk of collision.
●
torque is applied to correct the steering
and return the vehicle to its lane.
