Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist)

Introduction

Lane Assist helps the driver to stay in a

lane, within the system limitations. This

function is not suitable for, and not

designed for, autonomously keeping

your vehicle in a lane.

If the system detects that the vehicle is coming too close to a lane marker, Lane Assist warns the driver with corrective

steering. The driver can override the corrective steering at any time.

Speed range

239

Lane Assist is ready to take control (active system status) when a lane marking is detected within the system limits above

approximately 60 km/h (approximately 35 mph).

WARNING

Lane Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Lane Assist cannot

detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are

careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle

within the lane.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ Lane Assist system limitations .

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc

conditions.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.

Override immediately by steering if the system intervenes when it should not.

Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the prompts accordingly when the trafﬁc

situation allows.

Lane Assist system limitations

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Limits of the sensor system

Lane Assist detects lane markings with the camera behind the windshield.

Observe the limits of the camera ⇒ Limits of the sensor system. Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary!

Lane markings not detected or not correctly recognized

Lane Assist does not correctly detect all lane markings. If lane markings are not detected or if markings are incorrectly

detected as lane markings, Lane Assist may fail to intervene when it should or may intervene when not desired. In addition to

the situations speciﬁed in the camera limitations, this may also occur in the following situations, among others:

If lane markings are not present.

When the driving style is very dynamic.

When not on highways or well-developed roads.

On poor road surfaces, road structures or objects.

In the event of reﬂections or dazzling effects.

Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary by overriding unwanted interventions by the system immediately.

Temporarily switch off Lane Assist if required.

Lane Assist not ready to take control

Lane Assist is not ready to take control (system status inactive) under the following conditions:

The vehicle speed is less than around 55 km/h (around 30 mph).

Lane Assist has not detected a lane marking.

If lanes and curves are too narrow.

Temporarily, when the driving style is very dynamic.

240

When the turn signals are switched on before a manual lane change.

When the driver oversteers during a system intervention.

When there is no reaction from the driver to a driver intervention prompt.

Driving with Lane Assist

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

1. Press the

button.

2. Switch Lane Assist on or off.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the

and high beam lever.

button is located either on the multi-function steering wheel or the turn signal

Depending on the vehicle equipment, further details about lane marking, such as broken road markings, may also be shown

on the instrument cluster display.

Depending on the equipment, a display may also appear in the head-up display.

Depending on the driving situation, one of the following indicator lights will light up in the instrument cluster:

System active and ready to control.

System in operation (corrective steering intervention).

If the indicator light does not light up, Lane Assist is not ready for operation on both sides (inactive system status) or is

switched off.

If Travel Assist is actively controlling, there will not be any steering intervention and no Lane Assist display.

Driver intervention request

If there is no steering activity, Lane Assist will prompt 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, Lane Assist will become inactive.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, Semi-automated vehicle assistance in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist) is

activated when Emergency Assist is switched on in the Infotainment system.

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 if the corrective steering intervention takes a long time.

Steering wheel vibration

The following situation 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 Infotainmen

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.
