Active Lane Assist Safety Information
Warning: The features in active lane assist (ALA) are intended only as aids for a conscientious and alert driver. Do not rely on ALA to safely operate the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for keeping their hands on the wheel at all times when ALA is active.
ALA may not indicate lane departures under certain conditions. Read the information in this manual to understand the circumstances under which ALA may not provide adequate lane departure warnings.
ALA does not warn of all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe driving procedures.
Failure to drive safely and use ALA properly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
Features in ALA may become inactive under conditions where lane markings cannot clearly be identified. These conditions include:
-
low visibility, due to insufficient road illumination or due to snow, rain, fog, smoke, or heavy spray;
-
glare from oncoming traffic, the sun, or reflection from other vehicles when the road surface is wet;
-
the windshield being dirty, misted up, damaged, or covered in the vicinity of the camera;
-
the lane markings being unclear, such as in a construction zone;
-
the lane markings being worn, dark, or covered;
-
the distance to the vehicle in front being too small and preventing the lane markings from being detected;
-
the lane markings changing quickly lanes branching off, crossing one another, or merging;
-
the road being narrow and winding;
-
highly variable shade conditions on the road surface;
-
an attachment (such as a snow plow) restricting the camera's view of the lane markings;
-
a significant change in load with the vehicle on. Start the vehicle after a significant change in load to have ALA available without restrictions.
ALA cannot take the road, weather conditions, or the current traffic situation into account. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time, and remaining in the lane.
