Lane Keeping Assist
Details & Technology
The code JW5, Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of the vehicle at speeds from
37mph by means of a camera at the top of the windshield.
The system detects lane markings on the road and provides an acoustic warning when the
vehicle passes the lane marking. The driver needs to correct the vehicle’s course.
There is no vibration in the steering wheel.
The system can recognize maneuvers during which drivers leave their lane intentionally -
when cutting a corner, for example, and thus does not issue a warning unnecessarily.
There is also no warning if the driver accelerating before overtaking or entering a highway,
brakes heavily or enters a bend.
The Lane Keeping Assist is always active and can be deactivated via the push-button in the
upper control panel. The deactivation of the system will be shown in the instrument cluster.
Benefits & Arguments
• Lane Tracking Assist can prevent accidents due to inattentiveness or fatigue where
the driver is drifting out of its intended lane
• Acoustic signal alerts distracted or fatigue drivers (example: texting or eating)
