Lane departure warning
(Side Assist)
Introduction
The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors to monitor the areas behind the vehicle
›››page6. The system does this by measuring
the vehicle's distance from other vehicles and
its speed dierential. The lane departure warn-
ing will not work at speeds of less than approx.
15km/h (9mph).
The lane width is not detected individually, but
is rather pre-congured in the system. Thus
if you are driving in wide lanes or in between
two lanes, the indications may be incorrect.
Furthermore, the system can detect vehicles
driving in the lane next to you (if there are any),
and can also detect stationary objects such as
dividers, and thus give an incorrect indication.
Trailer mode
Side assist is automatically deactivated and
cannot be switched on if the factory-tted
tow-bar is electrically connected to a trailer or
similar device.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message is displayed on the instrument panel
display indicating that side assist is switched
o. Once the vehicle trailer has been disen-
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 traic situation correctly.
I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with dierent widths;
●
in areas with signicant 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 traic 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.
