a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
alert as the lane marking is crossed.
The system will not assist or alert if
it detects that you are actively
steering. Override LKA by turning
the steering wheel. LKA uses a
camera to detect lane markings
between 60 km/h (37 mph) and
150 km/h (93 mph).

R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0224.

energy. This energy is then stored in
the high voltage battery system,
contributing to increased energy
efficiency.
