Lane departure warning (Side Assist)
gaged, side assist will return to the initial state
prior to the moment the trailer was electrically
connected.
If the tow-bar is not factory tted, side assist
should be switched o manually when driving
with a trailer.
Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situations the lane departure warning
may not interpret the traic situation correctly.
I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with dierent widths;
●
in areas with signicant gradient changes;
●
in adverse weather conditions;
●
in the case of special constructions to the
side of the vehicle, e.g., high or irregular divid-
ers.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into Side
Assist cannot overcome the limits imposed
by the laws of physics; it only works within the
limits of the system. Accidents and severe
injury may occur if Side Assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traic conditions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at any
time.
●
Pay attention to the indicator lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument cluster, and fol-
low any instructions they may give.
●
The lane departure warning could react to
any special constructions that might be pres-
ent to the sides of the vehicle, e.g. high or
irregular dividers. This may cause erroneous
warnings.
●
Never use the lane departure warning on
unpaved roads. The lane departure warning
has been designed for use on paved roads.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
The control lamps of the lane departure
warning may have limited functionality due
to solar radiation.
Note
If Side Assist does not work as described in
this chapter, stop using it and contact a spe-
cialised workshop.
