Driving with the lane keeping system

Switching on and off

Depending on country, the lane keeping system is always switched on when the ignition is switched on. You can also

switch the lane keeping system on and off manually and view the current system status.

On the display of the instrument cluster:

1. Press the

button.

2. Switch the lane keeping system on or off.

Depending on equipment, the button is either on the multifunction steering wheel or on the turn signal

lever.

On the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu):

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Switch the lane keeping system on or off in the corresponding submenu.

The lane keeping system(Lane Assist) is also switched on when the comfort drive function (Travel Assist)is switched

on.

If there is a system fault, the lane keeping system can deactivate itself

automatically.

Lane markings detected. The system is ready to intervene on the side shown.

With some equipment levels, additional details about the road lane marking may also be shown on the instrument

cluster display, e.g. dotted lane markings.

With some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the Head-up Display (→ Head-up display).

Depending on the driving situation, the following indicator lamps light up:

System is active and ready to perform control intervention.

255

System controls (corrective steering intervention).

If no warning lamp lights up, the system is not ready to intervene(passive system status) or is switched off.

If the comfort drive function(Travel Assist) is actively performing a control operation, there is no steering

intervention and the lane keeping system is not displayed.

Driver intervention prompt

If there is no steering activity, the system prompts you to drive in the middle of the lane by means of acoustic

warnings and a display on the instrument cluster.

The system switches to the passive state if you do not react.

Depending on the equipment, Emergency Assist will be activated providing it is switched on in the Infotainment

system.

Independently of steering activity, you are also prompted to drive in the middle of the lane by means of a display on

the instrument cluster and acoustic warnings if the corrective steering intervention takes place for an extended time.

Steering wheel vibration

The following situations can lead to vibration of the steering wheel:

—The system can no longer detect a lane during a major steering intervention.

You can also select theVibration or Steering wheel vibration option in the Assist systems menu on the Infotainment

system. In this case, the steering wheel will vibrate if the vehicle drives across a detected road lane marking when the

lane keeping system is active.

Troubleshooting

Lane keeping system not available

The indicator lamp lights up yellow. A message will also appear on the instrument cluster display.

—The camera window is dirty. Clean the windscreen (→ Vehicle care).

—The view of the camera is impaired due to the weather conditions, e.g. snow, or due to detergent deposits or

coatings. Clean the windscreen (→ Vehicle care).

—The view of the camera is impaired by add-on parts or stickers. Keep the area around the camera window free.

—The camera has been displaced or damaged, e.g. due to damage to the windscreen. Check whether damage is

visible (→ Repairs and technical modifications).

—Fault or malfunction. Switch off and restart the engine.

—If the problem persists, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop.

It may take several seconds before a system error is detected one the ignition is switched

on.

If the lane keeping system is not available, Travel Assist is also not

available.

If the lane keeping system is not available, Emergency Assist is also not

available.

Touch panels do not react as expected

Moisture, dirt and grease can impede the functioning of the touch panels.

1. Always keep touch panels clean and dry.

Introduction

Using Travel Assist, the vehicle can maintain a distance preselected by the driver from a vehicle in front within the

system limits and remain in the predefined position within the lane (adaptive lane guidance).

Travel Assist uses the same sensors as the Adaptive Cruise Control A( CC

) and the lane keeping system(Lane Assist). Please, therefore, read the information on ACC and Lane Assist carefully

and observe the system limits and warnings listed there.

Does the vehicle have Travel Assist?

The vehicle is equipped with Travel Assist if the button is available on the multifunction steering wheel.

Speed range

Travel Assist regulates at speeds between around 30 km/h(approximately 20 mph) and around 210 km/h

(approximately 130 mph). Adaptive lane guidance can be used at speeds between 0 km/h (0 mph) and around

250 km/h (approximately 155 mph). This speed range may vary in certain countries.

Driving with Travel Assist

Travel Assist controls the accelerator, brake and steering automatically. Within the system limits, Travel Assist can

decelerate the vehicle to a standstill behind a vehicle that is stopping. It can also start driving again by itself.

You can override Travel Assist regulation at any time.
