The system will inform the driver with
a message and a chime if there is an
ongoing correction for more than ten
seconds. If the driver is still unable
to keep the vehicle in the lane, the
correction interrupts after a short time.
When hands-off driving is detected
during a correction within a rolling interval
of 180 seconds, the system intervenes:
Intervention 1:
flashes until the
end of the intervention.
Intervention 2:
flashes and a
warning chime sounds until the end
of intervention but for at least one
second.
Further interventions:
flashes
continuously and the warning chime
sounds 10 seconds longer than the
previous chime.
A lane departure warning on the cluster
alerts when the system cannot hold the
vehicle within the lane and immediate
driver´s action is required.
Note
The system might be inactive if it detects
lanes which are too narrow, too wide or
too curved.
For a correct operation of the system,
the following preconditions have to be
fulfilled:
● vehicle speed must be between
approx. 65 km/h and 180 km/h
● the turn lights are not activated
● the Electronic Stability Control is
activated and not in operation
● no plug is connected to the power
outlet of the trailer hitch
● no dynamic driving, i.e. pressure on the
brake or accelerator pedal
● lane bounderies can be clearly
detected by the system
● no temporary spare wheel is used
● the vehicle is not driven in a tight
corner
● no system fault is present which
prevents corrections
Depending on version, only lane
departure warning system is active, when
a system fault is present, a spare wheel
is used, Electronic Stability Control is not
activated or e.g. a trailer is attached. ð
Activation
Depending on version, the system is
automatically active by default every time
the engine is started, even if it was
deactivated during the last ignition cycle.
