Temporarily switching off the lane keeping system
Switch off the lane keeping system in the following situations:
• Very sporty driving.
• In poor weather conditions and when driving on poor roads.
• In roadworks and before crests in the road.
Driver intervention prompt
Your hands must always remain on the steering wheel even with the lane keeping system. If not, a
message will be shown in the instrument cluster display.
The intelligent technology used in the lane keeping system cannot overcome the laws of
physics, 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 concentration of the driver.
• 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 responsible for staying in lane.
• The lane keeping system cannot recognise all road markings. Poor road surfaces, road
structures or objects could be recognised incorrectly as road markings by the lane
keeping system. The lane keeping system should be switched off immediately in these
situations.
• Follow the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the
commands.
• Always pay close attention to what is happening around the vehicle.
• If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the lane
keeping system may be impaired.
