If no vehicle or obstacle is detected in the adja‐
cent lane and a lane change is permitted, the
lane change begins after the driver has briefly
activated the turn signal indicator. This is shown
to the driver with a green arrow next to the ±
steering wheel symbol. Green arrow 1 is dis‐
played in the appropriate adjacent lane in con‐
text assistance in the multifunction display. The
Lane change to the left (placeholder) message
also appears, for example.
If a lane change is not possible directly after the
driver has activated the turn signal indicator
