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.
·
Observe the displays in the exterior mir-
ror housings and on the instrument clus-
ter display and act in accordance with
the requests.
·
Always pay attention to what is happen-
ing around the vehicle.
·
Never use the lane change system if the
radar sensors are dirty, covered or dam-
aged. These circumstances can impair
the proper functioning of the system.
·
It may be hard to see the display in the
wing mirror in direct sunlight.
The radar sensors calibrate themselves
once in the first few kilometres after
vehicle delivery and if the sensors are re-
paired. The sensor range may be limited dur-
ing the calibration phase.
Driving with the lane change
system
Please refer to at the start of the chap-
Fig. 113 In the exterior mirror housing: visual
displays of the lane change system.
Switching on and off
You can switch the lane change system on
and off in the Assist systems menu of the In-
fotainment system. When the lane change
system is switched on, the yellow indicator
lamp in the exterior mirror housing lights
up once briefly.
This most recent system setting is retained
even after the ignition has been switched off
and on.
Function
When switched on, the lane change system is
active from a speed of around 15 km/h
(9 mph). The lane change system is deactiva-
ted at a vehicle speed below 10 km/h
(6 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow
indicator lamp lights up in the housing of
the respective exterior mirror:
— If your vehicle is being overtaken.
— When overtaking another vehicle with
a speed difference of up to approximately
15 km/h (9 mph). No display will be shown
if the overtaking manoeuvre is much fast-
er.
