Lane Keeping Assist
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your
vehicle in its lane. It is only an aid and may
detect the lane markings on the road
incorrectly or not at all.
The system may be impaired or may not
function if:
R
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road, or due
to snow, rain, fog or spray.
R
there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
the sun, or reflection from other vehicles.
R
the windshield is dirty, fogged up or
covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera.
R
several or no lane markings for a single lane
are present.
R
the lane markings are worn away, dark or
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow.
R
the distance to the vehicle in front is too
small and the lane markings thus cannot be
detected.
R
the lane markings on the road are unclear,
e.g. near roadworks.
R
the lane markings change quickly, e.g.
lanes branch off, cross one another or
merge.
R
the road is narrow and winding.
Lane Keeping Assist cannot detect road and
traffic conditions. It is not a substitute for
attentive driving. You are responsible for the
vehicle's speed, braking in good time, and
steering correctly. Always adapt your driving
style to suit the prevailing road and weather
conditions. Always pay attention to traffic
conditions and your surroundings. Otherwise,
you may fail to recognize dangers in time,
cause an accident and injure yourself and
others.
