Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in
front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction
camera ( page 155). It serves to protect you
/
against unintentionally leaving your lane. You will
be warned by vibration pulses in the steering
wheel and guided by a course-correcting brake
application back into your lane.
Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the
speed range between 37 mph (60 km/h) and
124 mph (200 km/h).
Active Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the
risk of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving
style nor override the laws of physics. It cannot
t or take into account road, weather or tra c condi-
tions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid.
You are responsible for maintaining a safe dis-
tance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for
braking in good time and for staying in lane.
