Assistant systems
considerably higher speed, no indication will
be displa
y
ed.
The faster the vehicle approaches, the soon-
er an indication will be displayed in the con-
trol lamp, because the lane departure warn-
ing takes into account the speed differential
with other vehicles. Thus even though the
distance from the other vehicle is identical,
the indication will appear sooner in some ca-
ses and later in others.
Physical limitations inherent to the system
In some situations the lane departure warn-
ing may not interpret the traffic situation
correctly. I.e. in the following situations:
●
on tight bends;
●
in the case of lanes with different widths;
●
in areas with significant gradient changes;
●
in adverse weather conditions;
●
in the case of special constructions to the
side of the vehicle, e.g., high or irregular di-
viders.

crossing behind the vehicle as it backs out of
a parallel parking space or as it is being man-
oeuvred, for example in very low visibility
conditions.
When the system detects a relevant vehicle
on the road that is approaching the rear of
the vehicle

Fig. 169 , an acoustic alarm
may sound if the relevance so requires it.
In addition to the acoustic alarm, the driver is
also informed by means of a visual signal on
infotainment system display. This signal is
displayed in the form of a red or yellow strip
at the back of the image of the vehicle on
the infotainment system screen. This strip
displays the side of the vehicle towards which
traffic is approaching in transverse direc-

Automatic braking to reduce damages
If the rear cross traffic alert detects that
someone else on the road is approaching
the rear of the vehicle and the driver does
not step on the brake, the system will engage
the brakes automatically.
The parking system helps the driver by auto-
matically engaging the brakes to reduce any
damage. The automatic intervention on the
brakes takes place when driving in reverse at
approx. 1-12 km/h (1-7 mph). After detecting
that the vehicle is stationary, the system
keeps it that way for around 2 seconds.
After automatically braking to reduce dam-
age, the system will not be able to automati-
cally brake again for approximately 10 sec-
onds.
You can interrupt the automatic braking by
stepping hard on the accelerator pedal or
the brake pedal in order to regain control of
the vehicle.
