DRIVER SUPPORT
Limitations of Lane assistance
In certain demanding conditions lane assis-
109
tance (LKA
) may have difficulty helping the
driver correctly. In such cases it is recom-
mended to switch off this function.
Examples of such conditions are:
road works
•
winter road conditions
•
poor road surface
•
a very "sporty" driving style
•
poor weather with reduced visibility
•
roads with unclear or non-existent side
•
markings
sharp edges or lines other than the lane's
•
side markings
as the steering servo for speed-dependent
•
steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating.
The function is unable to detect barriers, rails
or similar obstacles at the side of the carriage-
way.
NOTE
This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.
