unctions of Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
fr
ont of your vehicle by means of multifunction
camera 1. It serves to protect you against unin-
tentionally leaving your lane. You may also be
warned by a noticeable vibration in the steering
wheel or by a warning tone and by the status sym-
bol ashing in the instrument cluster. In addition,
you may be guided back into your lane by a lane-
correcting brake application. A corresponding
message appears in the instrument cluster.
The warning is issued when the following condi-
tions are met at the same time:
R
The driving system detects lane markings.
R
If a front wheel drives over lane markings.
A lane-correcting brake application occurs when
the following conditions are met:
R
Active Lane Keeping Assist detects lane mark-
ings on both sides of the vehicle.
R
A front wheel drives over a solid lane marking.
A corresponding message appears in the instru-
ment cluster.
The brake application is available in the speed
range between approximately 40 mph (60 km/h)
and 100 mph (160 km/h).
You can either deactivate the Active Lane Keeping
Assist warning or switch o the system completely.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active Lane
Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot
take into account road, weather or trac condi-
tions. The driving system is an aid for when you
unintentionally leave or cross the lane and not a
system for automatically keeping to the lane. You
are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time and
f
or staying in your lane.
If a lane-correcting brake application from Active
Lane K
eeping Assist occurs, display 1 appears in
the instrument cluster display.
