Note
After the engine is switched off the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minut es, e
ven if
the ignition is switched off. It is also possi-
ble that the fan turns itself on once more if
the coolant temperature increases due to
the heat accumulated in the engine com-
partment or due to its prolonged exposure
to solar radiation. Electronic immobilizer

the electronic immobiliser automatically
when the key is inserted into the ignition.
The electronic immobiliser will be activated
again automatically as soon as you pull the
key out of the ignition lock. For vehicles with
the “Keyless Access” system, the key has to
be outside the vehicle.

strument panel display: SAFE or Immobilis-
er active , it is not possible to start the vehi-

Driver assistance systems
Lane Assist* Intr oduction Fig. 256
On the windscreen: field of vision of
the L ane Assist syst em camer
a. Using the camera located in the windscreen,
the L
ane Assist syst
em detects the possibl
e
lines dividing the l
anes. 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 "
