Opel Corsa: System limitations / Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist supports the driver
to avoid unintended leaving of the
lane. The front camera observes road
edges, as well as the lane markings
between which the vehicle is driving.
If the vehicle approaches a road edge
or a lane marking, the steering wheel
is gently turned to position so that the
vehicle turns back into the lane. The
driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn
steering wheel in same direction, if
the system does not steer sufficiently.
Turn steering wheel gently into
opposite direction, if lane change is
intended.
When the system steers to correct the
trajectory of the vehicle, flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn
lights are operated and during few
seconds after turn lights have been
switched off.
Note
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Following preconditions have to be
fulfilled:
- vehicle speed must be between
65 km/h and 180 km/h
- the driver must hold the steering
wheel
- the turn lights are not activated
- the electronic stability control is
activated and not in operation
- the vehicle is not connected to a
trailer or an electric bicycle carrier
- normal driving behaviour (system
detects dynamic driving style, i.e.
pressure on the brake or
accelerator pedal)
- roads with good lane markings
- no spare wheel is used
- the driver is not taking the hands
off the steering wheel for a longer
time period
- the vehicle is not driven in a tight
corner
The traffic sign assistant is an
extension of the speed limit
recognition available for speed
limiter, cruise control and adaptive
cruise control.
The system recognises the traffic
signs above and displays them in the
Driver Information Centre...
If the system is activated, the LED in
the button is not illuminated. To
activate the system when the system
is deactivated, press .
The system is operational at vehicle
speeds between 65 km/h and
180 km/h and if lane markings are
detectable...
Other information:
Smart brake assist provides a boost
to braking when the brake pedal is
quickly applied. The braking is based
on the speed of approach and
distance to a vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed...
In the following situations, the system
may not operate properly or even not
operate at all:
poor visibility caused by
inadequate lighting of the
roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog etc.
dazzle caused by headlamps of
an oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads,
leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light etc...
