Lane departure warning
The concept
Starting at a specific speed, this system alerts you when the vehicle on streets with lane markings is about to leave the lane. Depending on the country-specific version of the vehicle, the speed is between 35 mph/55 km/h and 45 mph/70 km/h. When switching on the system below this speed, a message appears in the instrument cluster.
The steering wheel begins vibrating gently in the event of warnings. The time of the warning may vary depending on the current driving situation.
The system does not provide a warning if the turn signal is set before leaving the lane.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
► On: the LED lights up.
► Off: the LED goes out.
The state is stored for the remote control currently in use.
Display

Issued warning
If you leave the lane and if a lane marking has been detected, the steering wheel begins vibrating.
If the turn signal is set before changing the lane, a warning is not issued.

The warning ends:
► Automatically after approx. 3 seconds.
► When returning to your own lane.
► When braking hard.
► When using the turn signal.
System limits
Personal responsibility

for the driver's personal judgment of the course
of the road and the traffic situation.

wheel, as you may lose control of the vehicle.◄

► In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
► In the event of worn, poorly visible, merging,
diverging, or multiple lane markings such as
in construction areas.
► When lane markings are covered in snow,
ice, dirt or water.
► In tight curves or on narrow lanes.
► When the lane markings are covered by objects.
► When driving very close to the vehicle in
front of you.
► When driving toward bright lights.

rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or covered
with stickers, etc.
