Function of Lane Keeping Assist

Lane Keeping Assist serves to protect you against unintentionally leaving your lane. You are also warned by a vibration in the steering wheel and by the status symbol flashing in the instrument cluster.

The function is available in the speed range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.

The warning is issued when the following conditions are met at the same time:
  • If Lane Keeping Assist detects lane markings.

  • If a front wheel drives over lane markings.

You can activate and deactivate the Lane Keeping Assist warning.

If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid and is not intended to keep the vehicle in the lane without the driver's cooperation. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time and for staying in your lane.

System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:
  • 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 spray.

  • Glare from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections.

  • There is dirt on the windscreen in the vicinity of the multifunction camera or the camera is misted up, damaged or obscured.

  • No or several unclear lane markings are present for one lane, e.g. in a construction area.

  • If the lane markings are worn away, dark or covered up.

  • If the distance to the vehicle in front is too short and thus the lane markings cannot be detected.

  • The lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes branch off, cross one another or merge.

  • The carriageway is very narrow and winding.
