WARNING
If the Emergency Assist Intervenes inoppor-
tunely, serious accidents and injuries may
occur.
●
If the vehicle behaves differently than ex-
pected, interrupt the intervention of the
Emergency Assist by over-accelerating, brak-
ing or moving the steering wheel.
●
Do not use Travel Assist or Lane Assist.
Have the system checked by a specialised
workshop.
Troubleshooting
Emergency assist is not available
The control lamp switches on yellow. A rele-
vant warning is also displayed on the instru-
ment panel screen.
●
There is a fault or a defect. Turn the drive
system off and on again.
●
If the problem persists, switch off the Emer-
gency Assist and go to a specialised workshop.
The buttons react differently than expected
Moisture, dirt and grease can limit the opera-
tion of the buttons.
●
Make sure the buttons are always clean and
dry.
Lane departure warning (Side Assist)
Assistant systems
Lane departure warning
(Side Assist)
Introduction
The lane departure warning uses radar sen-
sors to monitor the areas behind the vehicle
›››
›››
page 6,
page 7. The system does this
by measuring the vehicle's distance from other
vehicles and its speed differential. The lane de-
parture warning will not work at speeds of less
than approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
The lane width is not detected individually, but
is rather pre-configured in the system. Thus
if you are driving in wide lanes or in between
two lanes, the indications may be incorrect.
Furthermore, the system can detect vehicles
driving in the lane next to you (if there are any),
and can also detect stationary objects such as
dividers, and thus give an incorrect indication.
Trailer mode
Side assist is automatically deactivated and
cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted
tow-bar is electrically connected to a trailer or
similar device.
As soon as the driver starts to drive with a
trailer connected electrically to the vehicle, a
message is displayed on the instrument panel
display indicating that side assist is switched
off. Once the vehicle trailer has been disen-
gaged, side assist will return to the initial state
prior to the moment the trailer was electrically
connected.
If the tow-bar is not factory fitted, side assist
should be switched off manually when driving
with a trailer.
Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situations the lane departure warning
may not interpret the traffic situation correctly.
I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with different widths;
●
in areas with significant gradient changes;
●
in adverse weather conditions;
●
in the case of special constructions to the
side of the vehicle, e.g., high or irregular divid-
ers.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into Side
Assist cannot overcome the limits imposed
by the laws of physics; it only works within the
limits of the system. Accidents and severe
injury may occur if Side Assist is used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
