If a critical situation is detected when the
door is opened, it will be alerted by an acous-
tic signal on the door speaker of the corre-
sponding side
control lamp of the lane departure warning of
the corresponding door will flash. If the door
has already been opened and another road
user has been detected in a critical situation,
the control lamp of the lane departure warn-
ing on the corresponding side will light up
permanently.
When you want to access the vehicle for the
first time, with the doors closed and locked,
the function will be available 3 minutes after
the first opening of any of the doors. The
function will continue to be available as long
as the vehicle has the ignition connected and
is not moving.
After switching off the ignition, the function
will remain available for approximately 3 mi-
nutes. After that time, the control lamps will
light up indicating the deactivation of the
function.
