exceeded and the speed difference be-
tween both vehicles is so great that a
speed reduction by the ACC will not suf-
fice. In this case the brake pedal should be
applied immediately.

Lane Assist system* Intr oduction Fig. 266
On the windscreen: field of vision of

em camer
a.Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the L
ane Assist syst
em det
ects the possible
lines dividing the lanes. When the vehicle in-
voluntarily approaches a dividing line it has
detected, the system notifies the driver with a
corrective steering movement. The purpose is
not only to warn the driver, but also to keep
the vehicle inside the lane. This movement
can be over-regulated at any time.
No warning is produced with the turn signals
activated, given that the Lane Assist system
understands that a lane change is required. Control lamp "

Blind spot detector (BSD)
with parking assist ance
(RC T
A)*
Introduction Fig. 270
Related video The blind spot detector (BSD) helps to detect
the tr
affic sit
uation behind the v
ehicle.
The integrated parking assistant (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and in manoeuvring.
The blind spot detector has been developed
for driving on paved roads. WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot detect or (BSD) with parking
assist
ance (RCTA) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli- gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
repl
acement f
or driver awareness.
