Functions of Active Lane Keeping Assist

Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of multifunction camera . It serves to protect you against unintentionally leaving your lane. You may also be warned by a vibrating message from the steering wheel and by the status symbol flashing in the instrument display. In addition, you may be guided back into your lane by a lane-correcting brake application. A relevant message appears in the instrument display.

The warning is issued when the following conditions are met at the same time:
  • The driving system detects lane markings.

  • A front wheel passes over the lane markings.

A lane-correcting brake application occurs when the following conditions are met:
  • Active Lane Keeping Assist detects lane markings on both sides of the vehicle.

  • A front wheel drives over a solid lane marking.

A relevant message appears in the instrument display.

The brake application is available in the speed range between approximately 60 km/h and 160 km/h.

You can either deactivate the Active Lane Keeping Assist warning or switch off the system completely.

If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. The driving system is an aid for when you unintentionally leave or cross the lane and not a system for automatically keeping to the lane. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time and for staying in your lane.

If a lane-correcting brake application from Active Lane Keeping Assist occurs, display appears in the multifunction display.

System limits
No lane-correcting brake application from Active Lane Keeping Assist occurs in the following situations:
  • You clearly and actively steer, brake or accelerate.

  • You switch on the turn signal.

  • A driving safety system intervenes, such as ESP® or Active Brake Assist.

  • You have adopted a sporty driving style with high cornering speeds or high rates of acceleration.

  • ESP® has been switched off.

  • When driving with a trailer, the electrical connection to the trailer has been correctly established.

  • If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre has been detected and displayed.

The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:
  • There is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, or due to rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.

  • Dazzle 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.

  • The lane markings are worn, dark or covered.

  • The distance to the vehicle in front is too small, and therefore 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.
