Make sure that the conditions are met for
the radar sensor to operate properly

page 217.
●
If the brakes overheat, regulation stops au-
tomatically. Wait for them to cool down and
check the operation again.
●
Unusual noises during automatic ACC
braking are normal and do not indicate any
anomalies.
The following conditions may lead the ACC
not to react:
●
The accelerator or brake is depressed.
●
No gear is engaged or the vehicle is in gear
R.
●
The vehicle is reversing.
●
ESC is operating.
●
The driver is not wearing his/her seat belt.

Driving on an excessive slope.
Lane Assist*
Introduction
The Lane Assist System helps the driver
stay in his/her lane within the physical lim-
its of the system. This function is not suita-
ble and is not designed to keep the vehicle
automatically in the lane.
Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane Assist system detects the limits
(lane lines) dividing the lanes in which the
vehicle is travelling. If the vehicle gets too
close to the detected lane limits, the system
alerts the driver through a corrective motion
of the steering wheel. The driver can cancel
the steering corrective action at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
understands that a lane change is required.
System limits
Use the Lane Assist system only on large,
well-maintained motorways and highways.
The system is not available under the follow-
ing conditions:
●
The driving speed allowed is below approx.
55 km/h (30 mph).
●
The system has not detected any lane
lines.
●
On tight bends.
●
Temporarily in very sporty driving situa-
tions.
WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane As-
sist system cannot change the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics and by the very
nature of the system. Careless or uncon-
trolled use of the Lane Assist system may
cause accidents and injury. The system is
not a replacement for driver awareness or
manoeuvres when driving.
●
Always adapt your speed and the distance
to the vehicles ahead in line with visibility,
weather conditions, the condition of the
road and the traffic situation.
●
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so it can be turned at any time. The
responsibility of staying in the lane is always
the driver's.
●
The Lane Assist system does not detect
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings
under certain circumstances by the Lane
Assist system. Immediately counter any un-
wanted intervention of the system.
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary if
the traffic situation permits.
●
In the following situations there may be
undesired interventions of the system or it
