Side assist 's detection area is designed to cover lanes of standard
widt h to the left and right of your travel lane, depend ing on whether
you drive in the center of your lane or closer to the edge.
If you dr ive in narrow lanes, side ass ist 's detec t ion ar ea may also
include other lanes - especially if you tend to drive on the edge of your
lane => fig. 135. Unde r t hese condi t ions, vehicles can a lso be
detected t hat are two lanes away, and s ide assist the n could switc h
