Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operating principle
Explanations of situations
Information for the driver
WARNING
Lane Assist only operates as a support- it does absolve the driver of the re-
■
sponsibility to maintain full control over the vehicle's steering.
Lane Assist only makes the driver away that the vehicle is approaching the
■
line between two lanes by means of a steering intervention. The driver retains
responsibility at all times for keeping the vehicle within the lane.
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it does
■
not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for steering
at all times.
The camera need not be able to detect all lane lines. A steering intervention
■
can only be made when the vehicle approaches a detected line between
lanes.
Some objects on the road may be incorrectly detected as lines. As a result,
■
an incorrect steering intervention may take place.
The function of adaptive lane guidance Assist system may be restricted
■
when driving e.g. over rutted roads, on a slope, or if there are lateral winds.
Do not use the Assist system in poor weather, e.g. black ice, fog, heavy rain -
■
risk of accident!

WARNING
The camera's powers of detection may be limited by a range of external influ-
ences. In this case, the Assist system may not be able to detect the line cor-
rectly, if at all. The camera's powers of detection may be limited, e.g. in the fol-
lowing:
in poor visibility conditions, e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall;
■
when dazzled by the sun;
■
when dazzled by oncoming traffic;
■
by vehicles ahead;
■
when the camera viewing range is obstructed by an obstacle.
■
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects to the windscreen to avoid impairing
the functions of the Assist system.
Operating principle

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 126.
Lane Assist (in the following referred to as the system) detects the lines between
lanes using data obtained from the camera (continuous and interrupted)
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system makes a
light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the boundary
line. This corrective steering intervention can be overridden at any time.
The strength of the steering movement can be activated/deactivated in the Info-
tainment » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle sys-
tems (CAR button).
