Automatic Lane Change
Automatic Lane Change is a sub-function of
Active Lane Change Assist. It can assist the driver
in deciding when a lane change is appropriate and
in executing it.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to incor-
rectly triggered lane change
The system cannot always clearly recognize all
situations in which a lane change is appropri-
ate.
The system can initiate a lane change even
though the traffic situation is not suitable or
the neighboring lane is not available, not usa-
ble or occupied.
Always monitor the traffic situation.
#
If necessary, cancel the lane change by
#
holding the steering wheel or counter-
steering slightly and return the vehicle to
its own lane.
You can cancel a lane change initiated by the sys-
tem at any time by holding the steering wheel or
countersteering slightly and returning the vehicle
to its own lane.
For an Automatic Lane Change, the following con-
ditions must be met:
The conditions for activating Active Lane
R
Change Assist are fulfilled.
Automatic Lane Change is activated in the
R
multimedia system.
You are driving on a highway in a country
R
where the function is available.
The road currently being traveled allows lane
R
changes, for example there are no tight bends.
The vehicle speed is between approximately
R
40 mph (65 km/h) and 85 mph (140 km/h).
Active Lane Change Assist can initiate an auto-
matic lane change in various situations, including
the following:
The set desired speed of Active Distance
R
Assist DISTRONIC cannot be achieved due to
a slower vehicle in front.
There is little traffic and the set desired speed
R
of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC can also
be achieved in a slower lane.
A lane change is necessary to follow the set
R
route in the navigation system or the road you
are currently driving on. The lane change may
take place before the request to do so
appears in the navigation system.
The system detects that the lane you are driv-
R
ing in will end soon.
You are in the lane furthest to the right.

In particular, Active Lane Change Assist will not
carry out an Automatic Lane Change in the follow-
ing situations:
If the vehicle is already in a lane that it should
R
use to follow the set route in the navigation
system.
On some route sections, no lane change is
R
made to the lanes furthest to the right.
The system detects that the neighboring lane
R
will end soon.
If an automatic lane change has been can-
R
celed by the driver, no lane change in that
direction will be initiated for a certain time.
If the driver has initiated a lane change in one
R
direction or has changed lanes manually, no
