Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of multifunction camera More. It serves to protect you against unintentionally leaving your lane. You will be warned by means of a vibration in the steering wheel.
Lane Keeping Assist is available in the speed range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.
Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.
Lane Keeping Assist detects lane markings.
A front wheel passes over the lane markings.
Whether a warning is issued and when this occurs also depends on the selected sensitivity setting (standard or adaptive).
If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, if there are highly variable shade conditions or in rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the sun or reflections.
If the windscreen in the area of the multifunction camera is dirty, or if the camera is misted up, damaged or covered.
If there are no lane markings, or several unclear lane markings are present for one lane, e.g. around roadworks.
If the lane markings are worn, dark or covered.
If the distance to the vehicle in front is too short and thus the lane markings cannot be detected.
If the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes branch off, cross one another or merge.
If the carriageway is very narrow and winding.
