Limitations of the lane keeping system
Road lane markings not recognised or not recognised correctly
The lane keeping system cannot correctly recognise all lane markings. If the road lane markings are not recognised,
the lane keeping system may fail to control the vehicle. Be ready to steer at any time.
Poor road surfaces, roadway structures or objects, reflections and glare on the roadway may be incorrectly
recognised as road lane markings. Immediately override any undesired intervention by the system.
Temporarily switching off the lane keeping system
In the following situations, the lane keeping system may intervene in an unwanted manner or fail to intervene as
designed. For this reason, it is especially important that the driver pay close attention in such situations. Temporarily
switch off the lane keeping system:
—If the driving style is very dynamic.
—In poor weather conditions and when driving on poor roads.
—Driving through road works.
—Crests and dips in the road.
—When not on motorways or well-maintained country roads.
WARNING
Failure to switch off the lane keeping system in the situations mentioned can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Lane keeping system not available
The system is not available under the following conditions(passive system status):
— The vehicle speed is under 55 km/h(approximately 30 mph).
—The lane keeping system has not detected a road lane marking.
—On tight bends
—Temporarily if the driving style is very dynamic.
—When the turn signal is switched on before changing lane manually.
—If the driver overrides a system intervention by steering.
—If the driver does not react to a driver intervention prompt.
Interference
WARNING
The effectiveness of systems can be significantly impaired if components and systems have been retrofitted, e.g. by
second stage manufacturers. The proper functioning of systems may therefore be impaired or adapted in vehicles
with add-ons and modifications.
● Have the second stage manufacturer confirm that the systems are functioning properly.
