WARNING For more information, refer
to the "Advanced Driver Assistance
Systems (ADAS) recommendations"
chapter in this section.
Lane Keeping Assist supports the
driver to avoid unintended leaving of
the lane. The front camera observes
road edges, as well as the lane
markings between which the vehicle
is driving. If the vehicle approaches
a road edge or a lane marking, the
steering wheel is gently turned to
position so that the vehicle turns back
into the lane. The driver will then notice
a turning movement of the steering
wheel. Turn steering wheel in same
direction, if the system does not steer
sufficiently. Turn steering wheel gently
into opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the
trajectory of the vehicle, flashes
yellow in the instrument panel display.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn
lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.
If the system detects that the steering
wheel is not held permanently, it
interrupts the correction. A warning
message in the instrument panel
display accompanied by a warning
chime alerts when immediate driver“s
action is required.
The system will inform the driver with
a message and a chime if there is an
ongoing correction for more than 10
seconds. If the driver is still unable
to keep the vehicle in the lane, the
correction interrupts after a short time.
