Lane Change Warning with
active recirculation
Principle
Lane Change Warning detects vehicles in the
blind spot, or if vehicles are approaching from
behind in the adjacent lane.
The light in the exterior mirror warns in different
increments.
An automatic steering intervention may help in
keeping the vehicle in its lane.
General
The system is operational after a minimum
speed has been reached and uses radar sensors
to monitor the area behind and adjacent to the
vehicle.
The minimum speed is country-specific and dis‐
played in the Lane Change Warning menu.
The system indicates when vehicles are in the
blind spot, arrow 1, or are approaching from the
rear in an adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The light in the exterior mirror illuminates at a
dimmed level.
In the previously named situations, the system
will warn prior to a lane change.
The light in the exterior mirror flashes and the
steering wheel vibrates.
When turning at a speed of up to approx.
20 km/h/12 mph, the steering wheel will not vi‐
brate.
