irection, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and displaying an\
amber .
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and 3 beeps may sound on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. I\

displayed.

tion Center.

plays an amber indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red ale\
rt flashes on the windshield and beeps sound. The system may prepare the brakes or automat\
ically brake the vehicle.

ed in that side blind zone area or rapidly approaching that area. The warni\
ng symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the sa\
me side.
