As part of its strategy to introduce updates at regular intervals, Tata Motors has added Level 2 ADAS functions with Harrier and Safari. This is in line with industry standards and ensures enhanced safety for users. The Level 2 ADAS update is available for Adventure + A, Fearless + / Accomplished + variants of new Harrier facelift and Safari facelift. Hat tip to Motor Arena India for sharing the update.
Harrier / Safari L2 ADAS
Before this update, the ADAS kit onboard Harrier and Safari was L2 Capable. It has now been upgraded to L2 Level. New additions are lane keep assist and adaptive steering assist with lane centering (AT Only). Select variants of Harrier and Safari will now have a total of 20 ADAS functions.
Lane keep assist function tracks the lane markings on the road. It adjusts the steering to ensure that the vehicle stays in its lane. The adaptive steering assist works in combination with the adaptive cruise control system. It is designed to ensure that the vehicle remains centered in its lane while cruising.
Harrier and Safari users can activate the lane keep assist function from the steering. For it to work, the vehicle should be cruising at a speed of more than 60 kmph. This is in line with industry standards. Lane keep assist systems are designed specifically for highways and open road driving. For lane keep assist to work, it is also necessary that the road has proper lane markings.
