The system is not ready to intervene on both

system status):
— The vehicle speed is under 55 km/h (ap-
proximately 30 mph).
— The lane keeping system has not detected
a road lane marking on either side.
— In tight bends.
— Temporarily if the driving style is very dy-
namic.
— When the turn signal is switched on before

tem intervention.
— A road lane marking is crossed despite
a system intervention.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the lane
keeping system cannot overcome physical
limitations, and functions only within the
limits of the system. Always take care when
using the lane keeping system otherwise
you could cause accidents or injuries. The
system is not a substitute for the full con-
centration of the driver and their steering.
·
Adapt your speed and distance from the
vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
·
Your hands should always be on the
steering wheel so that you can steer at
any time. The driver is always responsi-
ble for staying in the lane.
·
The lane keeping system cannot recog-
nise all road lane markings. In certain
circumstances, the lane keeping system
may detect poor road surfaces, road
structures or objects incorrectly as road
lane markings. Immediately override any
undesired intervention by the system.
·
Observe the information on the instru-
ment cluster display and respond ac-
cording to the prompts, if permitted by
the traffic situation.
·
In the following situations undesired in-
tervention by the lane keeping system
can occur or no control assistance is pro-
vided by the lane keeping system. This
means that it is crucial that the driver is
attentive in these situations. It may be
necessary to switch off the lane keeping
system temporarily:
— Very sporty driving.
— In poor weather conditions and when
driving on poor roads.
— Driving through road works.
— Over hill tops or through dips.
·
Always observe the area around the ve-
hicle with care and watch the road
ahead while driving.
·
If the camera's field of view is dirty, cov-
ered or damaged, the function of the
lane keeping system may be impaired.

keeping system can deactivate itself
automatically.
