Detection range

The detection capability of the camera is lim‐

For example, the following situations may not
be detected:

Partially covered pedestrians.

Pedestrians that are not detected as such
because of the viewing angle or contour.

Pedestrians outside of the detection range.

Pedestrians having a body size less than
32 in/80 cm.

Functional limitations

The system may not be fully functional or may
not be available in the following situations:

In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snow‐
fall.

In tight curves.

If the camera view field or the front wind‐
shield are dirty or covered.

When driving toward bright lights.

Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐
gine, via the Start/Stop knob.

During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.

When it is dark outside.

Lane departure warning

The concept

Starting at a specific speed, this system alerts
you when the vehicle on streets with lane
markings is about to leave the lane. This
speed, depending on the country version, is
between 35 mph/55 km/h and
45 mph/70 km/h.

When switching on the system below this
speed, a message is displayed in the instru‐
ment cluster.
The steering wheel begins vibrating gently in
the event of warnings. The time of the warning
may vary depending on the current driving sit‐
uation.
The system does not provide a warning if the
turn signal is set before leaving the lane.

Hints

Personal responsibility
The system cannot serve as a substitute

for the driver's personal judgment of the
course of the road and the traffic situation.
In the event of a warning, do not jerk the steer‐
ing wheel, as you may lose control of the vehi‐
cle.◀
