Setting The Sensitivity - Mercedes-Benz 2016 Metris Operator's Manual

If you fail to adapt your driving style, Lane Keep-
ing Assist can neither reduce the risk of accident
nor override the laws of physics. Lane Keeping
Assist cannot take into account road, weather or
traffic conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only an
aid. You are responsible for the distance to the
vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in
good time and for staying in your lane.
Lane Keeping Assist does not keep your vehicle
in its lane.
The system may be impaired or may not function
if:
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient
R
illumination of the road, or due to snow, rain,
fog or spray
there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the
R

the road surface is wet)
