Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) - limitations
Lane Keeping Aid's camera sensor has limita-
tions in a similar way to the human eye.
For more information, read about camera
sensor limitations (p. 231) and see Collision
warning system* - operation (p. 229).
NOTE
In certain demanding situations LKA may
find it difficult to assist the driver correctly
- in which case it is recommended that
LKA is switched off.
Examples of such a situation could be:
•
roadworks
•
winter road conditions
•
poor road surface
•
very sporty driving style
•
poor weather with reduced visibility.
Hands on the steering wheel
In order for Lane Keeping Aid to operate, the
driver must have his/her hands on the steer-
ing wheel. LKA continually monitors this. If
hands are not detected on the steering wheel
then a text message is shown, prompting the
driver to actively steer the car.
If the driver does not follow the request to
begin steering then Lane Keeping Aid goes
into standby mode and will remain in this
mode until the driver begins to steer the car
again.
