.
For vehicles that are also equipped with Lane Assist
›››
page 239, a warning to switch lanes will also ap-
pear even though the turn signal has not been en-
gaged (lane departure warning “Plus”
›››
page 247).
The control lamps light up when the ignition is
s
wit
ched on and shoul
d turn off after approxi-
mately 2 seconds. This is the time taken for
the function check.
If there are no indications from the control
lamp of the lane departure warning, this
means that the lane departure warning has
not detected any other vehicles at the rear
area

When the e
xt
erior lighting is l
ow, 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 info-
tainment system menu.
