When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be overridden at any
time.
WARNING
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
■
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
Some objects on the road may be incorrectly detected as lines. As a re-
■
sult, an incorrect steering intervention may take place.
WARNING
The detection capability of the camera may be limited by various external
influences. In such cases, the assistant may not detect the line between
two lanes at all or not properly. The detection capability of the camera may
be restricted in the following situations, for example.
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving around "sharp" bends.
■
The camera is blinded by the sun.
■
The camera is blinded by the oncoming traffic.
■
The viewing range of the camera is impeded by a vehicle traveling ahead.
■
The camera viewing range is obstructed by an obstacle.
■
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects to the windscreen to avoid impair-
ing the functions of the Assist system.
Note

The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate

longitudinal markings.
