In some countries, the Lane Assist System is

always activated when the ignition is switch-

ed on. The connection status is shown in the

Driver assistance menu of the Infotainment

system or the driver assistance systems menu

after pressing the corresponding button. The

Lane Assist system can be activated and de-

activated in these menus.

Check that the windscreen is not damaged

in the area of the camera's field of vision.

If no reaction is obtained from the driver, the

Regardless of the steering manoeuvres,

through an indication on the instrument panel

display and acoustic warnings, the driver is

also prompted to drive through the centre of

the lane if the steering correction lasts more

than reasonable.

●

Clean the field of vision of the camera reg-

ularly and make sure it is free of dirt, snow

and ice.

The Lane Assist system is ready to actively in-

tervene as of approximately 60 km/h (35

In the event of doubts or queries, go to a spe-

cialised workshop.

It is also possible to select steering wheel vi-

bration in the Assistants menu of the infotain-

ment system. In this case, when a vehicle with

Lane Assist switched on crosses over a detec-

ted lane marking, the steering wheel will vi-

brate.

When you activate a turn signal, the system

temporarily goes into a passive state in order

to allow manual lane change.

Driving Assist (Travel Assist)

Introduction

An energetic rotation or rectification of the

steering wheel by the driver causes the sys-

tem to temporarily switch to a passive state.

The driving assist (Travel Assist) combines

adaptive cruise control (ACC) and adap-

tive lane guidance. Within the limitations

of the system, the vehicle can maintain a

distance from the vehicle in front that is

preselected by the driver and remain in

the preferred position within the lane.

How to know if the vehicle is fitted with

Travel Assist

●

Do not use Travel Assist offroad or on

roads where the surface is not firm. Travel

Assist has been designed for use on paved

roads only.

The vehicle is fitted with Travel Assist if the

multifunction steering wheel has the button

Travel Assist uses the same sensors as Adap-

tive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Assist.

Therefore, carefully read the information

Travel Assist adjusts at speeds between ap-

prox. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) and approx.

210 km/h (approx. 130 mph); in the case of

the adaptive lane guidance function, be-

tween 0 km/h (0 mph) and approx. 250 km/h

(approx. 155 mph).

WARNING

Brake when, after an indication to brake,

the vehicle rolls without it being desired.

The Travel Assist smart technology cannot

overcome the limits imposed by the laws of

physics and it only works within the limits of

the system. If Travel assist is used negli-

gently or involuntarily, it may cause serious

accidents and injuries. The system is not a

replacement for driver awareness.

●

Keep your hands on the steering wheel at

all times, to ensure you have control over

the steering at all times. The driver is al-

ways responsible for keeping the vehicle in

its own lane.

●

If driver intervention is requested on the

instrument panel display, immediately re-
