2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport Driving Aids
DRIVING AIDS SAFETY
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using a driving aid system. Failure to use the driving aids safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
- Despite the vehicle being fitted with driving aids, the driver is still responsible for driving with due care and attention. The driver should also observe all road markings. Only drive in a manner which is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users.
- Driving aids are a supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe driving style.
- Always use the door and rear-view mirrors. Drive safely at all times, and use the door and rear-view mirrors to help avoid accidents.
- Driving aids may not function at all speeds, or in all weather conditions.
- Driving aids do not correct errors of judgement when driving.
- The sensors and camera used by the driving aids may become impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice, snow, or road spray. The driving aids ability to detect a risk may subsequently be affected and may give false indications.
- Do not attach stickers or objects to the rear bumper or to the windshield. Operation of the sensors and camera may subsequently become impaired. The driving aids ability to detect a risk may subsequently be affected, and may give false indications.
- Do not attach stickers or other objects to the door mirrors, as the blind spot icons and indicators may become obscured. Obscuring the icons and indicators could cause system miscalculations and increase the risk of a collision during a vehicle maneuver.
- The performance of the lane aid systems is affected by tire pressures and steering alignment. Constant steering adjustment may be required if the tire pressures are low, or if the steering is out of alignment. Constant steering adjustment increases the risk of an accident. Check the tire pressures regularly. Consult a retailer/authorized repairer if it is believed that the steering is out of alignment.
LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA)
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See DRIVING AIDS SAFETY.
Make sure the LKA system is disabled when connecting a trailer.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) monitors the road lane markings in the event of an unintentional road lane departure. If the vehicle is about to cross a lane boundary, a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel to counter the lane boundary crossing. The instrument panel displays a warning icon when a rotational force is applied to the steering wheel.
The LKA system does not assist the driver if road lane markings tracking is not available.
The Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system can be switched on and off via the driver assistance button (1). The button icon illuminates green when the LKA system is switched on.
The driver assistance button (1) also controls operation of the Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system. See BLIND SPOT ASSIST.
The LKA system selection is retained in the vehicle’s memory after the vehicle is switched off.
The instrument panel displays an icon when the LKA system is switched on. The icon changes color as follows:
- Gray lines indicates:
The lane boundaries are not being tracked.
The driver is indicating on the same side.
NOTES
When indicating left, the left side only is grayed out. The same strategy applies when indicating right.One or more of the system limitations criteria may have been met. See LANE KEEP ASSIST (LKA) LIMITATIONS.
- Green lines indicate that the lane boundaries are being tracked.
- Red lines indicate when the LKA feature is intervening.
LKA status can also be viewed via the Driver Assistance instrument panel view. See CONFIGURING A VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT PANEL.
The Driver Assistance view displays a visual representation of the vehicle’s position within a lane in the instrument panel. The lane boundaries change the same color as the icon:
- Gray
- Green
- Red
The Head-Up Display (HUD) also displays a warning.
