General notes
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area

warning, a lane-correcting application of the
brakes can bring the vehicle back into the
original lane.

Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active

risk of accident nor override the laws of phys-
ics. Lane Keeping Assist cannot take into
account the road, traffic and weather condi-
tions. Lane Keeping Assist is merely an aid.
You are responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking
in good time and for staying in your lane.
Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot continu-
ously keep your vehicle in its lane.
G WARNING

clearly detect lane markings.
In such cases, Active Lane Keeping Assist
can:
R give an unnecessary warning and then

There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and keep within the lane, especially
if Active Lane Keeping Assist alerts you. Ter-
minate the intervention in a non-critical driv-
ing situation.
