corrections
► covered camera by snow, ice, slush, mud,
dirt, or affected by windscreen damage or

The lane departure warning system supports the
driver to avoid unintended leaving of the lane.
The front camera observes road edges, as well
as the lane markings between which the vehicle
is driving. If the vehicle crosses a road edge or a
lane marking, the system warns the driver.
Unintended lane departure is not assumed by
the system when the turn lights are operated and
during few seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.
The system will inform the driver with a message
and a chime if there is an ongoing correction for
more than 10s. If the driver is still unable to keep
the vehicle in the lane, the correction interrupts
after a short time.
