The lane change assist
The T5 2010 (closed bodies, short wheelbase and
tailgate) is now available with lane change assist
(Side Assist) as an option.
The lane change assist warns the driver about
vehicles that are located to the side in the "blind spot"
or which are approaching rapidly from behind. To
achieve this, two radar sensors scan the adjacent
lanes on either side, both to the side and to the rear of
the vehicle. If the lane change assist detects a critical
situation, the warning light for the lane change assist
(LED system) in the exterior mirror housing on the side
of the vehicle in question indicates that there is a risk.
The system can be switched on and off using a switch
in the centre dash panel or using the multifunction
indicator. The system automatically switches to active
mode at a speed of 30 km/h or more.
The lane change assist warning lamp in the right-
hand round instrument of the dash panel insert
indicates whether the system is active or passive.
Functions of warning lamp …
