230 Driving and operating
Fault
In the event of a fault, O and C
appear yellow in the Driver
Information Centre, accompanied by
a display message and a warning
chime. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
System limitations
The system performance may be
affected by:
● covered camera by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt, or affected by
windscreen damage or foreign
items, e.g. stickers
● close vehicles ahead
● banked roads
● winding or hilly roads
● poor lighting conditions
● sudden lighting changes
● shining sun directly into the
camera lens
● adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, fog,
or snow
● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres
● roads with poor lane markings
A warning message may appear
when the vehicle is travelling in a long
straight lane on a smooth road
surface even if the driver is holding
the steering wheel properly.
Deactivate the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.
9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert,
even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the system may
not be sufficient to avoid a lane
departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences (road condition and
surface, weather etc). The driver
has full responsibility to control the
vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.

Driver alert

The driver alert system monitores the
driving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
The system cannot replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Taking a break is recommended as
soon as feeling tired or at least every
two hours. Do not drive when feeling
tired.
