Steering and touch detection
The driver is required to keep their hands on the
steering wheel at all times and be able to inter-
vene at any time to correct the course of the vehi-
cle and keep it in lane. The driver must expect a
change from active to passive mode or vice versa
at any time.
If the system detects that the driver has not
steered the vehicle for a considerable period of
time or has removed their hands from the steering
1
wheel, display
appears. If the driver still does
not steer the vehicle, a warning tone sounds in
addition to the visual warning message.
If the driver does not react to the warning for a
considerable period, the system can initiate an
emergency stop (

If the driver steers, no warning is issued, or the
warning is ended.

System limits
Active Steering Assist has a limited steering tor-

ing intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehi-
cle in the lane or to drive through exits.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following instances:
There is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain,
R
fog, heavy spray, greatly varying light condi-
tions or strong shadows on the carriageway.
There is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic,
R
direct sunlight or reflections.
Insufficient road illumination.
R
The windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged
R
or covered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g.
by a sticker.
