Lane Change Assist (LCA)

Lane Change Assist (LCA) warns the driver about

vehicles that are approaching from the rear or are

located in the blind spot. This applies when over-
taking other vehicles and when being overtaken.

At driving speeds below the operating range of the

Lane Change Assist, the additional rear turn assist
also supports the driver by monitoring the area

behind the vehicle in turning-off situations. The rear

WARNING
Even with Lane Change Assist and Rear Turn As-
sist, absolute care and attention on the part of the
driver is still required while driving. The driver is
still responsible for taking due care when changing
lanes.
e Observe the direction of travel and the relevant
area around the vehicle closely at all times.
WARNING
The view of the radar sensor can be reduced in
tight bends, when approaching crests and in ad-
verse weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, heavy
spray). Vehicles will not be recognized adequately
or not at all.
e Observe the direction of travel and the relevant
area around the vehicle closely at all times.
WARNING
Vehicles cannot or may not be detected in time in
the following situations:
– There is no indication in the case of vehicles
approaching at high speed from behind or ve-
hicles that are falling back.
– Lane Change Assist does not work in tight
bends (corner radius of less than approx. 165
ft. (50 m).
– Lane Change Assist will only alert you to ap-
proaching vehicles or vehicles in the blind-spot
symbol
area when you are driving at approx. 9 mph (15
km/h) or faster.
– In the case of the Rear Turn Assist, it may occur
that, owing to the small differences in speed
between your vehicle and moving or stationary

objects, fixed objects (e.g. a metal post) trig-
ger a warning, or that slow-moving vehicles are
not detected.
– The Rear Turn Assist is activated when driving
off. It can therefore occur that vehicles which
are already moving or are driving off are not
detected or are only detected late. Vehicles al-
ready located immediately next to your vehicle
and therefore outside the detection range of
the sensor, may also not be detected.
– If, when turning-off, your vehicle is not facing in

diagonally or at right angles to it, approaching
vehicles can no longer be detected by the
sensors.
e Observe the direction of travel and the relevant
area around the vehicle closely at all times.
