Driver intervention request  
If there is no steering activity, the system prompts you to drive in the center of your lane with an indicator in the instrument cluster display and warning chimes.  
If you do not respond accordingly, the system becomes inactive.  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist) is activated.  
Independently of steering activity, you are also prompted by an indicator on the instrument cluster display and by a warning chime to drive in the middle of the lane  
the corrective steering intervention takes a long time.  
Steering wheel vibration  
The following situations may cause the steering wheel to vibrate:  
A lane is no longer detected during a sharp corrective steering intervention by the system.  
In addition, you can select the Vibration or Steering wheel vibration option in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainment system. If you select this option, the  
steering wheel will vibrate if Lane Assist is active and you drift onto a road lane marking that the system has detected.

Comfort drive Travel Assist  
Introduction  
Thanks to the comfort drive Travel  
Assist, within the system limitations, the  
vehicle can maintain a distance, which  
has been preselected by the driver, to  
the vehicle in front and hold the  
preferred position within the lane  
(adaptive lane guidance).  
Travel Assist uses the same sensor technology as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist). Therefore, carefully read all the  
information about the ACC and Lane Assist and take note of the system limitations and notes specified in those sections.  
Does this vehicle have Travel Assist?  
The vehicle has Travel Assist, if the  
button on the multi-function steering wheel is available.  
Speed range  
Travel Assist operates in a speed range between around 30 km/h (approximately 20 mph) and around 210 km/h (approximately 130 mph). This range is expanded  
to, from 0 km/h (0 mph) to around 250 km/h (approximately 155 mph), for the adaptive lane guidance. This speed range may vary depending on the country.

Driving with Travel Assist  
Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and steers the vehicle. Within the system limitations, Travel Assist can also bring the vehicle to a halt behind a  
stopping vehicle and drive on again.  
You can override the Travel Assist regulation function at any time.

Travel Assist active, Adaptive Cruise Control active and adaptive lane  
If you remove your hands from the steering wheel, the system will ask you to take over the steering wheel after a few seconds with a message in the instrument  
cluster display and with audible warnings.  
If you do not respond, the system warns you with a brief braking maneuver.  
Travel Assist is then deactivated.  
Alternatively, Emergency Assist is activated, depending on the vehicle equipment.  
WARNING  
The intelligent technology of the Travel Assist cannot overcome the natural laws of physics, and it can only operate within the limits of the system. Careless or  
unintended use of the Travel Assist can cause accidents and serious injuries. The system cannot replace the driver's attention.  
Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.  
Never use Travel Assist when visibility is poor or when roads are steep, winding, flooded, or slippery, for example from snow, ice, moisture, or gravel.  
Never use Travel Assist when driving off-road or on unpaved roads. Travel Assist is only designed for use on paved roads.  
Travel Assist does not react to persons, animals, vehicles crossing the lane or vehicles coming towards you in the same lane.  
Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the deceleration by the Travel Assist is not  
sufficient.  
Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.  
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time. The driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle  
within the lane.  
Always be ready to resume control of the vehicle speed.
