Switching the lane assist system on or off
In some countries, the Lane Assist System is
always activated when the ignition is switch-
ed on. The connection status is shown in the
Assistants menu of the Infotainment system
or the assistant systems menu after pressing
the corresponding button. The Lane Assist
system can be activated and deactivated in
these menus.
The Lane Assist system is ready to actively in-
tervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35
mph) and if it has detected the lane limits
(system status: active). The control lamp
emits a green light. When the system inter-
venes by rectifying the direction, the control
lamp emits a yellow light.
If the control lamp of the instrument panel
display is off, it means that the Lane Assist
system is connected but not ready to inter-
vene or it is disconnected.
When you activate a turn signal, the system
temporarily goes into a passive state in order
to allow manual lane change.
An energetic rotation or rectification of the
steering wheel by the driver causes the sys-
tem to temporarily switch to a passive state.

Driver intervention prompt
If the st
eering is not corr
ected manually, the
system prompts the driver through an indi-
cation on the instrument panel display and
acoustic warnings.
If no reaction is obtained from the driver, the
system switches to a passive state.
Regardless of the steering manoeuvres,
through an indication on the instrument
panel display and acoustic warnings, the
driver is also prompted to drive through the
centre of the lane if the steering correction
lasts more than reasonable.
Steering wheel vibration
The following situations may result in a steer-
ing wheel vibration:
●
The lane ceases to be recognised during a
sudden intervention in the direction of the
system.
It is also possible to select steering wheel vi-
bration in the Vehicle menu of the infotain-
ment system. In this case, when a vehicle
with Lane Assist switched on crosses over a
detected lane marking, the steering wheel
will vibrate.
