First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

Using a camera in the windscreen, the lane departure warning system detects possible marking lines on the road lane. If your vehicle approaches a recognised marking line unintentionally, the system will warn the driver with a corrected steering intervention. The corrective steering intervention can be overridden by the driver at any time.

No warning will be given if the turn signal is switched on as the lane departure warning system will presume the lane change is deliberate.

Steering wheel vibration

The following situations will cause the steering wheel to vibrate and demand active steering intervention by the driver:

If the maximum steering moment in corrective steering intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehicle in the lane.

If a lane is no longer detected by the system during the corrective steering intervention.
