Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist)

Introduction

Lane Assist helps the driver to stay in a

lane, within the system limitations. This

function is not suitable for, and not

designed for, autonomously keeping

your vehicle in a lane.

If the system detects that the vehicle is coming too close to a lane marker, Lane Assist warns the driver with corrective steering. The driver can override the

corrective steering at any time.

Speed range

Lane Assist is ready to take control (active system status) when a lane marking is detected within the system limits above approximately 60 km/h (approximately

35 mph).

WARNING

Lane Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Lane Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may

not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle within the lane.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ Lane Assist system limitation s.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc conditions.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.

Override immediately by steering if the system intervenes when it should not.

Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the prompts accordingly when the trafﬁc situation allows.

Lane Assist system limitations

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Limits of the sensor system

199

Lane Assist detects lane markings with the camera behind the windshield.

Observe the limits of the camera ⇒ Limits of the sensor system . Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary!

Lane markings not detected or not correctly recognized

Lane Assist does not correctly detect all lane markings. If lane markings are not detected or if markings are incorrectly detected as lane markings, Lane Assist may

fail to intervene when it should or may intervene when not desired. In addition to the situations speciﬁed in the camera limitations, this may also occur in the

following situations, among others:

If lane markings are not present.

When the driving style is very dynamic.

When not on highways or well-developed roads.

On poor road surfaces, road structures or objects.

In the event of reﬂections or dazzling effects.

Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary by overriding unwanted interventions by the system immediately. Temporarily switch off Lane Assist if

required.

Lane Assist not available

Lane Assist is not available under the following conditions (inactive system status):

The vehicle speed is less than around 55 km/h (around 30 mph).

Lane Assist has not detected a lane marking.

If lanes and curves are too narrow.

Temporarily, when the driving style is very dynamic.

When the turn signals are switched on before a manual lane change.

When the driver oversteers during a system intervention.

When there is no reaction from the driver to a driver intervention prompt.

Driving with Lane Assist

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

If the indicator light does not light up, Lane Assist is not ready for operation on both sides (inactive system status) or is switched off.

If Travel Assist is actively controlling, there will not be any steering intervention and no Lane Assist display.

Driver intervention request

If there is no steering activity, Lane Assist prompts you to drive in the center of your lane with an indicator in the instrument cluster display and warning chimes.

If you do not respond accordingly, Lane Assist becomes inactive.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist) is activated.

Independently of steering activity, you are also prompted by an indicator on the instrument cluster display and by a warning chime to drive in the middle of the lane

the corrective steering intervention takes a long time.

Steering wheel vibration

The following situation may cause the steering wheel to vibrate:

A lane is no longer detected during a sharp corrective steering intervention by the system.

In addition, you can select the Vibration or Steering wheel vibration option in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainment system. If you select this option, the

steering wheel will vibrate if Lane Assist is active and you drift onto a road lane marking that the system has detected.

vehicle can maintain a distance, which

has been preselected by the driver, to

the vehicle in front and hold the

preferred position within the lane

(adaptive lane guidance).

Does this vehicle have Travel Assist?

The vehicle has Travel Assist, if the

button on the multi-function steering wheel is available.

Speed range

Travel Assist operates in a speed range between around 30 km/h (approximately 20 mph) and around 210 km/h (approximately 130 mph). This range is expanded

to, from 0 km/h (0 mph) to around 250 km/h (approximately 155 mph), for the adaptive lane guidance. This speed range may vary depending on the country.

Travel Assist system limitations

Travel Assist detects driving situations using the same sensor technology as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist).

Note the system limitations and information regarding ACC and Lane Assist. Always pay attention and intervene yourself if necessary!

Driving with Travel Assist

Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and steers the vehicle. Within the system limitations, Travel Assist can also bring the vehicle to a halt behind a

stopping vehicle and drive on again.

You can override the Travel Assist regulation function at any time.
