CONTROLS
Icon Meaning
The icon lights up grey: the system
is switched off or automatically deac-
tivated, e.g. because DSC OFF is ac-
tivated.
The icon flashes grey: a warning is
actively issued. The system does not
carry out any steering interventions.
Warning function
When leaving the driving lane
If the vehicle leaves the driving lane and a
lane boundary is detected, the steering wheel
vibrates depending on the steering wheel vi-
bration setting.
If the turn indicator is switched on in the corre-
sponding direction before changing lanes, no
warning is issued.
Steering intervention
Depending on the national-market version and
equipment: if a lane boundary is crossed in the
speed range up to 210 km/h, approx. 130 mph,
the system may respond with an active steer-
ing intervention in addition to the steering
wheel vibration. The system thereby helps to
keep the vehicle in driving lane. Steering inter-
vention can be felt at the steering wheel, and
can be overridden manually at any time. With
active steering intervention, the display flashes
in the instrument cluster.
For example, steering intervention is sup-
pressed in the following situations:
▷ If the vehicle is accelerating rapidly or brak-
ing heavily.
▷ On indicating.
▷ If the hazard warning lights are switched
on.
▷ In driving situations with high driving dy-
namics.

▷ When Dynamic Stability Control is regulat-
ing.
▷ Directly after a steering intervention by the
vehicle systems.
▷ When actively weaving back to your own
lane after overtaking.
Warning signal
Depending on the national-market version: in
the event of multiple active steering interven-
tions by the system within 3 minutes with-
out the driver's intervention at the steering
wheel during the steering intervention itself, an
acoustic warning will sound. A short warning
signal will sound at the second steering inter-
vention. A longer warning signal sounds from
the third steering intervention onwards.
A Check Control message is also displayed.
The warning signal and Check Control mes-
sage advise to pay closer attention to the lane.
In trailer operation
If the trailer socket is occupied or the trailer op-
eration is activated, for example during opera-
tion with trailer, no steering intervention takes
place.
For further information:
Operation with a trailer or rear luggage rack,
see page 272.
Cancellation of the warning
For example, the warning or an active steering
intervention is cancelled in the following situa-
tions:
▷ Automatically after a few seconds.
▷ On returning to the correct lane.
▷ If the vehicle is accelerating rapidly or brak-
ing heavily.
▷ If the hazard warning lights are switched
on.
▷ On indicating.
