Lane Keeping Aid*
Lane Keeping Aid is one of the functions in
the Driver Alert System - sometimes also
referred to as LKA (Lane Keeping Aid).
The function is intended for use on motor-
ways and similar major roads in order to
reduce the risk of the vehicle accidentally
leaving its own lane in certain situations.
A camera reads the painted side lines of the
road/lane. If the car is about to cross a side
line then Lane Keeping Aid will actively steer
the car back into the lane with a slight steer-
ing torque in the steering wheel.
If the car reaches or crosses a side line then
Lane Keeping Aid will also alert the driver with
pulsating vibration in the steering wheel.
WARNING
LKA is merely a driver's aid and does not
engage in all driving situations or traffic,
weather or road conditions.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable laws and road
traffic regulations are followed.

Lane Keeping Aid - function
Off & On
Lane Keeping Aid is active within the speed
range 65-200 km/h on roads with clearly visi-
ble side lines. The function is temporarily
deactivated on narrow roads with less than
2.6 metres between the lane side lines.
Press the button in the centre console to acti-
vate or deactivate the function. An illuminated
lamp in the button shows when the function
is switched on.
Some combinations of the selected equip-
ment leave no vacant space for an On/Off
button in the centre console - in which case,
the function is instead operated in the car's
menu system MY CAR (p. 108). Here, pro-
