Information
The system helps when driving on highways and
on country roads. For this reason, it works at
a driving speed of between 20 and 156 mph
(30 and 250 km/h).
Even when using the Lane Change Assist, the
driver is still responsible for taking due care when
changing lanes and assessing the traffic situation.
f
Please bear in mind that the sensors will not
detect all vehicles in every situation.
f
Please note that Lane Change Assist cannot
alert you in good time to vehicles approaching
at high speed from behind or vehicles that are
falling back.
f
Radar sensor vision can be impaired by rain,
snow or heavy spray. As a result, vehicles will
not be detected adequately or vehicles will not
be detected at all in some cases by Lane
Change Assist. Keep the direction of travel and
the relevant area around the vehicle in view at
all times.
f
Please note that Lane Change Assist will only
alert you to approaching vehicles or vehicles in
the blind-spot area when you are driving at
20 mph (30 km/h) or faster.
f
Please note that Lane Change Assist will not
work in tight corners (corner radius of less
than 109 yd. (100 m)).
f
Even with Lane Change Assist, absolute care
and attention on the part of the driver is still
required while driving. Ultimately, the driver is
still responsible for changing lanes. Keep the
direction of travel and the relevant area around
the vehicle in view at all times.
Information
f
To ensure that Lane Change Assist can work
properly:
Do not block the radar sensor area on the rear
bumper (see illustration) with objects
(e.g. stickers, bicycle carriers).
Also remove any snow and ice from this area.
f
Do not cover the warning indicator on the door
mirror with stickers or other objects.
f
Lane Change Assist switches on automatically
as soon as the electric connector is plugged
into the trailer socket.
f
Lane Change Assist switches off automatically
if it detects that the radar sensors for Lane
Change Assist are covered.
