Risk of accident
G
Lane assist is merely a tool to assist the driv-
er. When driving, you are responsible for
keeping the vehicle on the correct lane and
in the correct direction.
Lane assist can only give a warning when
the road lane markings are driven over or
crossed if these are easily detectable.
Active Lane assist will not give a warning if:
the speed of the vehicle is below 40 mph
(60 km /h)
a turn signal is on
the vehicle is decelerating
Risk of accident
G
Adverse weather conditions, such as:
snow
slush
heavy rain
and a very dirty windscreen
can impair the function of Lane assist. You
should therefore switch on the windscreen
wiper, for example, to keep the area around
the camera free from dirt.
Risk of accident
G
Note that the function of Lane assist is lim-
ited:
if the lane markings are difficult to de-
tect (e.g. if the road is covered by snow,
sand or debris)
if there are shadows or several markings
on the road (e.g. roadworks)
when the main-beam headlamps are
switched on
in tight corners
