Unlock the Benefits of Assisted Lane Changing for a Safer and Easier Driving Experience
assisted lane changing is a great feature that can make driving easier and safer. It requires the driver to activate Driving Assistant Pro in their car settings, as well as ACC, Steering and Lane Keeping Assistant. To activate the lane change, the driver needs to push the turn lever just to the detent position (3-signal position), not past, in the direction they want to go, and release it. The lane change will only work if the driver is on a multi-lane highway, going over whatever the minimum required speed is in their region (over 40 mph in the US). The lane lines and steering wheel must be green in the instrument cluster, and the lane clear they want to merge into. If all of these conditions are met and it still does not work, then they should visit their dealer for assistance.
Once the driver has activated the lane change, the car will take over and steer itself into the next lane. The driver should keep their hands on the wheel and be ready to take control if needed. The car will adjust its speed to match the traffic in the new lane, and will also adjust its steering angle to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The driver should always check their mirrors before changing lanes, as well as look ahead to make sure there are no obstacles in their path.
The lane change feature is designed to make driving easier and safer, but it is important for drivers to remember that they are still responsible for their own safety. They should always be aware of their surroundings and be prepared to take control of the vehicle if needed. Additionally, they should not rely solely on this feature when changing lanes, as it may not detect all potential hazards.
Drivers should also be aware that assisted lane changing may not work in all conditions. For example, if there is heavy rain or snow, or if visibility is poor due to fog or darkness, then the system may not be able to accurately detect obstacles or other vehicles in the lane. In these cases, it is best for the driver to take full control of the vehicle and manually change lanes.
Overall, assisted lane changing can be a great tool for making driving easier and safer. However, it is important for drivers to understand how it works and use it responsibly. They should always be aware of their surroundings and be prepared to take control of the vehicle if necessary. With proper use, this feature can help make driving more enjoyable and stress-free.
