The function may have limited functionality in
certain situations and not intervene, e.g.:
•
for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles
•
if more than half of your vehicle has moved
into the adjacent lane
IntelliSafe
in
•
on roads/lanes with indistinct or no side lane
markings
.
•
outside the speed range 60-140 km/h
(37-87 mph)
•
when the power steering works at reduced
power - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-
ing (see section "Speed-dependent steering
force").
Functionality may also be reduced in other situa-
tions, such as:
•
road work
•
winter driving conditions
•
narrow roads
•
poor road surfaces
•
a very sporty driving style
•
bad weather with reduced visibility.
In these demanding driving conditions, the func-

In these situations, it is recommended that it is
turned off.
