Lane departure warning (Side Assist)
If there are no indications from the control
lamp of the lane departure warning, this means
that the lane departure warning has not detec-
ted any other vehicles at the rear area.
When the exterior lighting is low, the intensity
with which the control lamps come on is dim-
med. The user can modify the intensity of the
control lamps with up to 5 levels in the infotain-
ment system menu.
Lane assist Plus.
The Lane Assist Plus function can be used by
activating the Lane Assist ›››page215 and
Side Assist functions. In this case its functions
are expanded as described below.
If the driver initiates a lane change manoeuvre
in a potential critical situation:
●
The lamp ashes in the corresponding rear-
view mirror even though the turn signal has not
been activated.
●
The steering wheel vibrates to warn the
driver of the risk of collision.
●
torque is applied to correct the steering and
return the vehicle to its lane.
Driving situations
Fig.150 Overtaking with traic behind the
vehicle.
Fig.151 Overtaking in the central lane and
then joining the right lane.
In the following situations, an indication will be
displayed by the control lamp ›››Fig.148 ,
›››Fig.149 (arrow):
●
When being overtaken by another vehicle
›››Fig.150.
●
When overtaking another vehicle
›››Fig.151 with a speed dierence of approx.
10 km/h (6 mph). If the vehicle is passing at
a considerably higher speed, no indication will
be displayed.
The faster the vehicle approaches, the sooner
an indication will be displayed in the control
lamp, because the lane departure warning
takes into account the speed dierential with
other vehicles. Thus even though the distance
from the other vehicle is identical, the indica-
tion will appear sooner in some cases and later
in others.
