for vehicl espeed, for braking in good time,
and for staying in lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep yourv ehi-
cle in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion if:
R there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insuffi-
cient illumination of the road ,ordue to

R there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
the sun or reflection from other vehicles
(e.g. if the road surface is wet)
R the windscreen is dirty ,misted up, dam-
agedorc overed,for instance by asticker,
in the vicinity of the camera
R no or several, unclea rlane markings are
present for one lane ,e.g. in aconstruction
area
R the lane markings are worn away,d ark or
covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
R the distance to the vehicl einfront is too
smal land the lane markings thus cannot be
detected

R the road is narrow and winding
R there are highly variable shad econditions
on the road
If no vehicl eisdetected in the adjacent lane
and broken lane markings are detected, no
lane-correcting brake application is made.
