Function of Active Lane Keeping Assist

Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction camera More and can warn you before you leave your lane unintentionally. The system can guide you back into your lane through a course-correcting steering intervention and additionally warns you with vibration pulses in the steering wheel. Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the speed range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.

The system can intervene in the following situations:
  • Active Lane Keeping Assist detects a lane marking.

  • One of your front wheels goes over a lane marking.

If you activate the turn signal indicator, a steering intervention does not occur on the corresponding side.

If the system detects an obstacle, such as another vehicle in the adjacent lane, a steering intervention occurs regardless of the turn signal indicator. If you leave the lane without using the turn signal indicator, but an obstacle is detected in your lane, a steering intervention does not occur.

Display will appear in the driver display and a warning tone will sound in the following situations:
  • A steering intervention by Active Lane Keeping Assist lasts longer than approximately ten seconds.

  • The system carries out two or more steering interventions within approximately three minutes without any steering intervention from the driver.

In the Active Lane Keeping Assist settings, you can set the sensitivity of the system and set the level of support. Additionally, you can set whether the system should react to discontinuous lane markings or only continuous lane markings More.

Status displays for Active Lane Keeping Assist
  •  White: Active Lane Keeping Assist is deactivated.
  •  Yellow: there is a malfunction. Please also observe the display messages.
  •  Grey: Active Lane Keeping Assist is activated, but not operating.
  •  Green: Active Lane Keeping Assist is activated and operating. If the system is operational on only one side, the lane marking is shown in green on the corresponding side.
  •  Red: Active Lane Keeping Assist has guided you back into your lane with a course-correcting steering intervention. The status display will flash if there is also a haptic warning in the steering wheel. The lane marking is shown in red only on the side for which there is a warning. Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package: if both lane markings are simultaneously shown in red in the status display, Active Lane Keeping Assist has initiated an emergency stop More.
Active Lane Change Assist display in the "Assistance" menu

If the front wheel of the vehicle drives over a detected lane marking, this will be highlighted red in the Assistance menu in the driver's display.

Vehicles with active ambient lighting: if Warning assistance is activated, the Active Lane Keeping Assist warning is also accompanied by ambient lighting More.

System limits
In the following situations, no lane-correcting steering intervention occurs but rather a warning in the steering wheel, depending on the situation:
  • You clearly and actively steer, brake or accelerate.

  • If a driving safety system intervenes, such as ESP®, Active Brake Assist or Active Blind Spot Assist.

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

  • When ESP® is deactivated.

  • If transport equipment, for example a trailer or bicycle rack, is attached to the trailer hitch and the electrical connection 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 particularly 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 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.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers More.
