Functional limitations
The system may have limited functionality in the
following situations, for example:
▷ When there are missing, worn, poorly visible,
merging/separating or ambiguous lane mark‐
ings; for example, in areas where there are
roadworks.
▷ If lane markings are covered by snow, ice, dirt
or water.
▷ On sharp bends or narrow roads.
▷ If lane markings are not white.
▷ If lane markings are obscured by objects.
▷ If the vehicle is too close to the vehicle ahead.
▷ Up to 10 seconds after starting the engine
using the Start/Stop button.
A Check Control message may be displayed in
the event of limited functionality.
Lane Change Warning
Principle
Lane Change Warning detects vehicles in the
blind spot, or if vehicles are approaching from
behind in the adjacent lane. Different levels of
warning are given in these situations.
General
Operational from a minimum speed, radar sen‐
sors monitor the area behind and adjacent to the
vehicle.
The minimum speed is country-specific and is
displayed in the menu for the Intelligent Safety
Systems.
The system indicates when vehicles are in the
blind spot, arrow 1, or are approaching from the
rear in an adjacent lane, arrow 2.
The light in the exterior mirror illuminates at a
dimmed level.
Before changing lanes with the turn indicator
switched on, the system issues a warning in the
above situations.
The light in the exterior mirror flashes and the
steering wheel vibrates.
Vehicles with side collision warning: at speeds of
up to 210 km/h, 130 mph, the system can re‐
spond with a brief active steering intervention
and thus help to return the vehicle to its lane.
The steering intervention is carried out above a
minimum speed. This minimum speed is shown
on the Control Display in the steering interven‐
tion menu.
