WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system is a driving aid
designed to provide termporary steering
assistance or steering wheel vibration
when it detects an unintended lane
departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK

The system is designed to alert you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure. The system
detects and tracks the road lane markings
using a camera mounted behind the
interior mirror. When you switch the
system on, a graphic of lane markings
appears in the instrument cluster display.

E313922

Note:

The system works when the camera

can detect at least one lane marking.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

The system may not

function if the sensor is blocked.

WARNING:

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

WARNING:

In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.

WARNING:

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

WARNING:

The system will not

operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings.

WARNING:

If damage occurs in the

immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

WARNING:

The system may not

correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.

295

Lane Keeping System

one lane marking.

•

You switch the direction indicator on.

•

HOW DOES AID MODE WORK

E165516

The lane keeping system aids you when
an unintentional lane departure occurs.
The system provides a small steering input
to move your vehicle towards the center
of the lane.

Note:

When aid mode is on and the system

does not detect any steering activity for a
short period of time, for example lightly
holding the steering wheel, the system alerts
you to put your hands on the steering wheel.

Note:

The aid mode becomes active again

after you have returned your vehicle to the
center of the lane.

297

Lane Keeping System

ALERT AND AID MODE

WHAT IS ALERT AND AID MODE

Alert and aid mode combines both, alert
mode and aid mode.

HOW DOES ALERT AND AID MODE
WORK

Alert and aid mode provides temporary
steering assistance toward the lane center
when the system detects an unintended
lane departure. If your vehicle continues
drifting out of the lane, the steering wheel
vibrates.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST -
VEHICLES WITH: BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM,
VEHICLES WITHOUT: TRAILER
TOW

WHAT IS BLIND SPOT ASSIST

Blind spot assist is an extension of the lane
keeping system that provides a blind spot
warning and steering assistance during
lane changes if it detects adjacent vehicles.

HOW DOES BLIND SPOT ASSIST
WORK

E270719

Activate and deactivate the system using
the lane keeping system button on the turn
signal stalk.

During lane changes, the design of the
blind spot assist detects vehicles in, or
approaching, your blind spot and provides
a warning, plus steering assistance to
direct your vehicle back into your lane.

298

Lane Keeping System

When active, this system functions with or
without the use of turn signals and hazard
flashers.

You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST LIMITATIONS

All system limitations present in the basic
lane keeping system also apply to blind
spot assist.

Blind spot assist does not function under
the following conditions:

•

When none or only one of the two lane
markings are detected.

•

One or both rear radar sensors become
blocked or faulty.

•

A trailer is attached to your vehicle.

Note:

Bike carriers and cargo racks could

cause false alerts due to obstruction of the
sensor. We recommend switching the
feature off when using a bike carrier or a
cargo rack.

Note:

The system does not recognize the

trailer, if you attach a trailer without
electrical connectors. We recommend to
switch off blind spot assist if you attach a
trailer without electrical connectors.

Blind spot assist could have difficulty
detecting hazards under the following
conditions:
•

If a vehicle is approaching in an
adjacent lane at a relative speed much
higher than your vehicle.

•

Bad weather conditions are present
that obstruct the sensors.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST INDICATORS

E310089

The lane keeping aid warning lamp or
yellow lane marking in your instrument
cluster indicate blind spot assist activation.
In addition, the blind spot information

SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not use the blind

spot information system as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors or looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. The
blind spot information system is not a
replacement for careful driving.

WARNING:

next to infrastructure or near parked
cars. A false alert may also occur while
making a 90-degree turn or driving
through a roundabout.

•

Wide trailers that have a total length
greater than 20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is
passing at high speed.

•

Box trailers that have a width greater
than 7.9 ft (2.4 m) may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.

•

Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with
a width greater than 7.9 ft (2.4 m) may
