Lane Departure Warning*

The concept

This system warns you from a speed of approx.
40 mph/70 km/h when the vehicle is leaving the
lane you are currently in on roads with lane limit
lines. You feel this due to a slight vibration of the
steering wheel.
The system does not warn you if you signal
before leaving the lane.
It is best to use the system on well-developed
roads and freeways.

Switching on/off

Press the button on the steering wheel.

The two lines

1 indicate that the system is

activated.

The two arrows

2 mean that the system has

detected one or two lane demarcation lines
from a speed of approx. 40 mph/70 km/h
and warns accordingly.

If you activate the system below a speed of
approx. 40 mph/70 km/h, a message will appear
stating that the system is not active until this
speed is reached.
A warning will be canceled:

after approx. 3 seconds

if you return to your lane

if you brake heavily

if you signal

System limits

The Lane Departure Warning cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal

judgment in determining the course of the road.
If the system issues a warning, do not move the
steering wheel with unnecessary severity, as
otherwise you could lose control of the vehi-
cle.

The function of the system may be limited in the
following example situations:

in heavy fog, rain or snowfall

with worn-away, poorly visible demarcation
lines, or lines that run together or apart or
are unclear, e.g., in road construction areas

when demarcation lines are covered by
snow, ice, dirt or a great deal of water

in tight curves or on narrow roads

when demarcation lines are not white

when demarcation lines are covered by
objects

when driving up close behind a vehicle driv-
ing ahead

with bright oncoming light

when the windshield is fogged up, dirty or
covered with stickers, vignettes, etc., in the
area of the inside rearview mirror
