Function of Active Lane Change Assist
Active Lane Change Assist supports the driver
when changing lanes by applying steering torque
if the driver operates a turn signal indicator.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers ( page 181).
/
Assistance when changing lanes is provided if all
the following conditions are met:
You are driving on a freeway or road with
R
multiple lanes in the direction of travel.
The neighboring lane is separated by a bro‐
R
ken lane marking.
No vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane.
R
The driven speed is between 50 mph
R
(80 km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h).
Active Lane Change Assist is switched on in
R
the multimedia system.
Active Steering Assist is activated and active.
R
If no vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane and
a lane change is permitted, the lane change
begins after the driver has activated the turn sig‐
nal indicator. This is shown to the driver with a
green arrow next to the ± steering wheel
symbol. The Lane Change to the Leftmessage,
for example, also appears. If Active Lane Change
Assist has been activated with the turn signal
Driving and parking 205
indicator but a lane change is not immediately
possible, a gray arrow appears next to the ±
steering wheel symbol, which remains green.
When the lane change assistance starts, the turn
signal indicator is automatically activated along
with the display in the multifunction display.
If the assistance graphic is shown when chang‐
ing lanes, the lane change display appears with
an additional arrow pointing towards the adja‐
cent lane ( page 196)
/
If a lane change is not possible, the arrow is
faded out after a few seconds and a new lane
change must be initiated. An immediate lane
change is only possible on freeway sections
without speed limits.
If the system is impaired, Active Lane Change
Assist may be canceled. The Lane Change Can-
celed message appears in the multifunction dis‐
play.
In addition, a warning tone may sound.
