Lane Assist - Seat Leon Owner's Manual

Lane Assist*

Introduction
On the windscreen: field of vision of
Fig. 169
the Lane Assist system.
The Lane Assist System helps the driver stay
in his/her lane within the physical limits of the
system. This function is not suitable and is not
designed to keep the vehicle automatically in
the lane.
Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the Lane Assist system detects the limits (lane
lines) dividing the lanes in which the vehicle is
travelling. If the vehicle gets too close to the
detected lane limits, the system alerts the
driver through a corrective motion of the
steering wheel. The driver can cancel the
steering corrective action at any time.

System limits
Use the Lane Assist system only on large,
well-maintained motorways and highways.
The system is not available under the follow-
ing conditions:
The driving speed allowed is below approx.
●
55 km/h (30 mph).
The system has not detected any lane
●
lines.
On tight bends.

WARNING
The intelligent technology in the Lane As-
sist system cannot change the limits im-
posed by the laws of physics and by the
very nature of the system. Careless or un-
controlled use of the Lane Assist system
may cause accidents and injury. The sys-
tem is not a replacement for driver aware-
ness or manoeuvres when driving.
Always adapt your speed and the dis-
●
tance to the vehicles ahead in line with visi-
bility, weather conditions, the condition of
the road and the traffic situation.
Always keep your hands on the steering
●
wheel so it can be turned at any time. The
responsibility of staying in the lane is al-
ways the driver's.
The Lane Assist system does not detect
●
all road markings. The road surfaces, road
structures or objects in poor condition can
be incorrectly detected as road markings
under certain circumstances by the Lane
Assist system. Immediately counter any un-
wanted intervention of the system.
Please observe the indications on the in-
●
strument panel and act as is necessary if
the traffic situation permits.
In the following situations there may be
●
undesired interventions of the system or it
may be that the system does not intervene
at all. In these situations, special attention
is required from the driver and, where ap-
propriate, the temporary deactivation of
the lane assist warning system:
In very sporty driving situations.
–
In adverse weather conditions and
–
roads in poor condition.
When passing through areas undergo-
–
ing works.
Before gradient changes of grade and
–
river beds.
Always observe the vehicle surroundings
●
carefully and drive proactively.
When the area of vision of the camera
●
becomes dirty, covered or is damaged, the
Lane Assist system function can be affec-
ted.
