Switching On Lane Keeping Assist - Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Roadster Operator's Manual

Driving systems

If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of an acci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. Lane
Keeping Assist cannot take into account the
road, traffic and weather conditions. Lane Keep-
ing Assist is merely an aid. You are responsible
for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-
cle speed, for braking in good time and for stay-
ing in your lane.
The Lane Keeping Assist does not keep the vehi-
cle in the lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
if:
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
R
illumination of the road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or heavy spray
there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the
R
sun or reflection from other vehicles (e.g. if
the road surface is wet)
the windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged or
R
covered, for instance by a sticker, in the vicin-
ity of the camera
there are no or several unclear lane markings
R
for one lane, e.g. roadworks
the lane markings are worn away, dark or cov-
R
ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow
the distance to the vehicle in front is too short
R
and thus the lane markings cannot be detec-
ted
the lane markings change quickly, e.g. lanes
R
branch off, cross one another or merge
the road is narrow and winding
R
there are strong shadows cast on the road
