Ready for warning: The green indicator lamp confirms that the system is fully functional. You will be warned if you are about to cross the lane markings detected by the system.
Not ready for warning: The yellow indicator lamp indicates that the system is switched on. However, you will not be warned if you cross the lane markings. This can have the following causes:
  • There is only one or no lane marking.
  • The system cannot detect the lane markings (e.g. due to snow, dirt, wet conditions or adverse light).
  • There are more than two lane markings in the lane you are driving in (e.g. in roadwork sections).
  • The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the speed at which the lane assist system is activated.
  • The lane is narrower than 2.5 m or wider than 5 m.
  • The bend is too tight.
Note
  • Make sure that the camera window Fig. 2 is not covered with stickers or similar objects.
  • Always keep the camera window clean. Usually it should suffice to operate the windscreen wipers.
