WARNING

The intelligent technology of the lane departure warning system (Lane Assist) cannot change the laws of physics or the system-related vehicle limitations. Always take care when using the lane departure warning system otherwise you could cause accidents or injuries. The system cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.

• Adapt your speed and distance to the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

• Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.

• The lane departure warning system cannot recognise all road markings. Poor road surfaces, road structures or objects could be recognised incorrectly as road markings by the lane departure warning system. The lane departure warning system should be switched off immediately in these situations.

• Follow the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the commands.

• Always pay close attention to what is happening around the vehicle.

The lane departure warning system has been designed for use on surfaced roads only.

If the lane departure warning system does not function as described in this chapter, do not use the lane departure warning system and go to a qualified workshop.

If there is a fault in the system, go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
