G05￿Driver￿Assistance￿Systems
6.￿Automatic￿Lane￿Change
The￿G05￿introduces￿the￿Automatic￿Lane￿Change￿function￿to￿the￿US￿market.￿Automatic￿Lane￿Change
supports￿the￿driver￿when￿changing￿lanes,￿for￿example￿when￿passing￿on￿highways.￿The￿system￿offers
the￿driver￿further￿convenience￿with￿this￿and￿can￿contribute￿to￿avoiding￿possible￿collisions￿with￿another
vehicle￿travelling￿in￿the￿same￿direction.
If￿the￿driver￿has￿activated￿the￿system￿and￿the￿destination￿lane￿is￿free,￿the￿vehicle￿automatically￿carries
out￿a￿steering￿wheel￿movement￿and￿returns￿to￿lane￿guidance￿(Steering￿Assistant)￿after￿the￿lane￿change
is￿completed.
The￿system￿assists￿the￿driver￿in￿the￿speed￿range￿from￿approximately￿70￿km/h￿to￿approximately
180￿km/h.
6.1.￿Functional￿principle
Automatic￿Lane￿Change￿is￿activated￿if￿the￿driver￿operates￿the￿turn￿indicator￿("one-touch￿signalling"
and￿holds￿it￿for￿approximately￿1￿second)￿with￿Steering￿Assistant￿activated.￿This￿signals￿to￿the
system￿that￿the￿driver￿would￿like￿to￿change￿to￿the￿adjacent￿lane￿with￿system￿support.
First￿the￿system￿analyzes￿whether￿a￿danger-free￿lane￿change￿is￿possible,￿and￿also￿whether￿sufficient
room￿for￿the￿maneuver￿is￿available.￿The￿surroundings￿are￿monitored￿by￿the￿side￿radar￿sensors￿and￿the
data￿from￿the￿KAFAS￿camera.￿The￿KAFAS￿camera￿is￿principally￿used￿for￿lane￿detection.
The￿radar￿sensors￿are￿not￿only￿responsible￿for￿the￿detection￿of￿an￿object,￿but￿are￿also￿able￿to￿take￿into
consideration￿the￿speed￿of￿vehicles￿detected￿nearby.
6.1.1.￿Monitoring￿ranges
The￿monitoring￿ranges￿for￿the￿radar￿sensors￿are￿as￿follows:
Sensor￿monitoring￿range￿for￿vehicles￿behind￿the￿vehicle
