Correct answer

  • BPermanece desactivado.It stays switched off.
Explanation

The LDW system, or lane change detector, is an active safety system that detects changes in the vehicle's path within the lane and recognises when a change is unintentional. It then warns the driver with a sound or light, to avoid collisions with other vehicles or leaving the road. More advanced systems even correct the vehicle's path. If an evasive steering manoeuvre is made or the indicator is on, the LDW system stays switched off. The 'eCall or emergency alert' system immediately calls the emergency services when the vehicle's sensors detect that an accident has happened.
