lane control assistant.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver’s personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sys‐
tem, it cannot independently react to all traffic
situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where appropri‐
ate.
Additionally, the notices for the Active Cruise
Control and the Steering and Lane Control As‐
sistant apply.

Changing lanes
1. One or more lane changes are required to
reach a navigation destination.
The system prepares for this lane change.
For this purpose, the system determines a
suitable opening in the traffic flow on the next
lane.
2. When a gap is detected, the speed is
adapted so that the vehicle remains at the
level of the opening.
3. A Check Control message indicates a lane
change suggestion.
When Steering Assistant is active, a steering
intervention in the direction of the relevant
lane may occur.
4. When the traffic situation permits a lane
change, the driver can steer the vehicle into
the next lane.
When equipped with Automatic Lane Change
Assistant: after the Check Control message
has been displayed, a lane change can be ini‐
tiated by operating the turn signal.
Display in the instrument cluster
Icon Function
The suggestion for the lane change is
displayed and a green checkmark indi‐
cates the active function.
Depending on the equipment and national-mar‐
ket version, the traffic situation is displayed in the
Assisted Driving View of the instrument cluster.
